The snowy beast.
As one of Chile’s most active volcanoes, Villarrica is also known by locals (in the Mapuche language) as “The Devil’s House”. Rising majestically above the surrounding adventure wonderland at an impressive 3,000m in height, the Villarrica Volcano stuns and dazzles with its imposing stature and stunning 360 panoramas of the surrounding landscape from its summit.
