Trekking: Mountains filled of wildlife, creeks, and cascading waterfalls create a playground for your Chilean adventure. Our local volcanoes are a world apart. Visible from the Pan American highway, these peaks overlook central Chile's native forests. El Volcan Descabezado trek/climb is a classic 5 – 7 day excursion with waterfalls, classic forests, meadows, pumice fields, and a penitente filled crater.
