          11/10!
          Had an extraordinary time with Terra Volcano pucon. From start to finish everything was well organized, taken care of and safe. The whole team always made sure you felt comfortable and answered any questions or concerns. The team did a fantastic job guiding us to the top of the volcano and had so much knowledge on not just Pucon but all of Chile. I cannot recommend this company enough!

          Awesome tour and guides!
          Awesome trip to the Vulcano! Got the company recommended by a friend and it was so good! Did the tour in a small group, with good equipment and very cool guides, so climbing with Richard and Phillip was very nice. Can only recommend Terra Vulcano!

          A bit difficult but worth it.
          The volcano is amazing, sliding down is even better. The guides were friendly and the trip well organized. The equipment is good quality, although a bit old. The only downside is that we did not receive any information before the trip. As a result, we didn't bring enough water and food. It would be nice to receive a message about how long the hike is, what to bring and what not to bring, what is included and what is not. For future travellers: bring at least 1.5L of water per person and lunch since no food or water are included and the total trip is about 8-9 hours. Also, wear hiking clothes and bring multiple layers since the temperature difference is pretty high. You are provided with waterproof jacket and pants, boots, icepick, sunglasses, crampons and a backpack. The hike up is about 6 hours, and coming back down takes another 1.5.

          Amazing Villarica Volcano Hike
          We had an amazing experience climbing the Villarrica Volcano with Terravolacano! The tour was perfectly organized (only 3 people) and our guides made the whole adventure lots of fun and safe (you’re actually climbing a glacier!). They were knowledgeable, and kept the energy high throughout the climb. The views at the top of the valley were spectacular and the smoke coming out the crater thrilling. We couldn’t recommend it enough! A must-do in Pucón! PS: we didn’t have to walk down, we sledged down! Thank you Richard and Nico!!

          Great Day Hiking Villarrica!!!!
          We loved the tour and felt very safe with the guides! They were knowledgable and were always looking out for hazards we didn't even know existed! The view from the top was worth the effort of the climb. We probably could have asked for more breaks, but our small group pushed fairly hard and made it to the summit in 4 hours from the time of arrive. We were quicker than nearly all the other groups and had ~25 min by ourselves at the top of the volcano. The guides also took photos and videos of us hiking and shared with them after which was great since we didn't have the energy to capture the actual hiking. Would highly recommend

          A great trip, no one else booked on the day I did but Terra still ran the guide just for me. Richard, the guide, was very knowledgeable and friendly. Great fun sliding down at the end!

          Unforgettable day, amazing
          Have just done the climb to the summit of villarica with Richard and his amazing guides and can't recommend highly enough. Was in constant contact with Richard the days leading up to it to see which day would be best for climbing and he picked the perfect day. Made it to the top with no clouds and stunning views inside and outside the volcano. The best part was possibly sliding back down on the plastic, really good fun! All the guides were really friendly and helpful, with a nice pisco sours and food at the end, thanks so much!

          Extreme and amazing experience
          It was an amazing experience although we got bad weather at the top still was amazing, I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to have an extreme experience, we went up there in the beginning of summer so it was cold and snow midway up to the top so be prepared for that possibility as well but coming down it’s faster because with the snow we get to slide down with proper equipment easy to use “they will show you how to”

          Golpe / Estafa / SCAMMED
          DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM! I GOT SCAMMED BY THEM! They withhold information, deceive you about the tour, and then, under threats, force you to pay for a service they didn’t deliver, even increasing the originally agreed-upon amount. Their equipment is dirty and unhygienic, and they demonstrate a complete lack of manners, along with criminal acts of moral abuse and coercion against their clients. The experience I had with this agency and with Richard was by far the WORST of my life. I’ve done adventure tourism worldwide and trusted many companies, but nothing—NOTHING—comes close to the utter disrespect, abuse, and rudeness I experienced with these people. I was insulted, verbally abused, and even threatened by him. Let me explain every detail so no one else has to go through what I went through. From the very beginning, I was deceived with incomplete and misleading information about the volcano hike. They told me I only needed to bring my backpack with water, juice, and chocolate. That’s it. I arrived thinking everything was ready, but I was handed a pre-packed backpack stuffed with absurdly heavy equipment, dirty boots, non-adjustable hiking poles, even a sled, and an ice axe that were never used—plus jackets that looked like rags. And all this without any proper guidance or prior notice about the total weight this would add to the hike. For someone small like me, the weight was simply unbearable. Even so, they forced me to carry everything and start walking. Guess what? I managed 50 meters before I had to stop because it was impossible to continue with that abusive weight. On top of that, the "guides" just rush ahead, leaving you to fend for yourself. There’s zero care, and we’re talking about a dangerous environment. That’s when things got even worse. After barely walking 50 meters—without even starting the actual hike or reaching the park’s base—I was forced to pay the full amount. There was NOTHING in the documents I signed about fees for quitting, nor was I informed about it when I decided not to proceed (and I only stopped because of the excessive weight of the backpack). To make matters worse, the terms and conditions were only in English—as if, in CHILE, I wouldn’t have the right to a Spanish version! But the worst part was yet to come. Richard, the person in charge, had the audacity to verbally attack me with the worst insults imaginable. Yes, he OFFENDED me, THREATENED me, and CALLED ME NAMES—some of the worst you can think of. He said he’d call the police if I didn’t pay, accused me of being a scammer (when he was the scammer!), and fabricated a list of expenses he supposedly incurred (knowing full well it was a lie). He then, unethically, cursed and insulted me in various ways. To make matters even more DESPICABLE, he said he would deduct the payment from a female employee’s salary if I didn’t pay what he wanted. It was a COWARDLY, UNJUST, and completely UNPROFESSIONAL act! Even though I explained that I didn’t complete the hike because of their failure to provide adequate conditions, they made it as difficult as possible to avoid taking people to the top of the volcano—or to profit from people quitting without doing any work. And instead of admitting their fault, they blame you, saying that if you can’t physically handle it, it’s your problem. This is DISHONEST and UNETHICAL to the core. This man is the worst example of a human being I’ve ever met, and this agency is a total FRAUD. They have zero respect for their clients, treating tourists as if they’re only there to be exploited. I felt robbed and extorted. I’ll never set foot in this place again because of this Chilean man. This isn’t tourism—it’s ABUSE. They prey on the fact that you’re a foreigner, playing on your insecurities and threatening you until you feel coerced into paying. I only paid because I knew he would take it out on the poor employee. Truly despicable—there’s no exaggeration here. If you’re considering booking with this agency, RUN in the opposite direction. These positive reviews are obviously fake, because the reality is entirely different: what they offer is a terrible service with old, dirty, and unwashed equipment provided by unethical, heartless people who won’t care about their clients. Stay away and protect yourself from these people. Never in my life did I imagine I’d go through something so low and infuriating.

          Sensacional ! Incredible! Amazig
          Uma experiência única, incrível e inesquecível! Tínhamos algum receio de não dar conta de subir ao topo, mas Richard e toda sua equipe da Terra Volcano foram sensacionais. Grupo de 12 pax com 04 guias ultra-mega-super experientes e atenciosos. Um grupo heterogêneo com crianças (6-10 anos), jovens 25-30 anos e minha esposa e eu 60+. Deu muito certo! Guias atentos o tempo todo . Diego muy chiquitito .. cuidou de nós como se fossemos seus pais (ou abuelos 👴🏻👩🏻‍🦳)… organização, trajes e equipamentos individuais de segurança perfeitos ! Diversão e boas lembranças para vida inteira! Super-recomendado! Grande abraço, Diego, Richard, Érico e todos!!! Giselle e Julio A unique, incredible and unforgettable experience! We were a little worried about not being able to climb to the top, but Richard and his entire team at Terra Volcano were amazing. A group of 12 people with 4 ultra-mega-super experienced and attentive guides. A mixed group with children (6-10 years old), young people 25-30 years old and my wife and I 60+. It worked out really well! The guides were attentive the whole time. Diego was so cute... he took care of us as if we were his parents (or grandmas 👴🏻👩🏻‍🦳)… perfect organization, clothing and individual safety equipment! Fun and good memories for a lifetime! Highly recommended! Big hug, Diego, Richard, Érico and everyone!!! Giselle and Julio

          Show Up, Dress Up, Hike Up, Sled Down
          Sledding down “a piece of plastic” (their technical term 😋) was tremendously fun, especially after a challenging hike up Villarrica volcano 🌋 I had never backpacked or done a challenging hike like this so I was so glad they provided every single piece of equipment and all the clothing. We just showed up, dressed up, hiked up, and then sled down the volcano. Such a great time!

          Wonderful adventure!
          I had a great experience with Richard climbing the volcano Villarrica, the hike and the views are wonderful and totally worth the effort! The tour wasn’t cancelled even though I was the only person that signed up for it (not to take for granted) and the gear they gave me was in perfect conditions. Richard was very caring, kind, reliable and safe, helped whenever I needed and yet was a very fun person so the day was super pleasant. I have great pictures and memories to keep from my adventure, super recommended!

        It is a long walk and with constant slope so it will be tired, but the views and beauty of the route itself are very worth it. Richard is a great guide who made the day unbeatable, he is a Pro in his field and a great person. Thank you so much for this experience
