About Ermitaño Expediciones
Ermitaño Expediciones is a mountaineering-focused adventure agency on Calle Brasil in Pucón, registered with Chile's tourism authority Sernatur and affiliated with the Chilean Association of Mountain Guides. A TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice award winner, the company has built its reputation on technical, guide-led expeditions into the high volcanoes and backcountry of the Araucanía and beyond.
Its specialty is mountaineering: guided ascents of Villarrica, Quetrupillán, Llaima, Lanín and Sollipulli, plus ice climbing and ski touring for those chasing snow lines off the standard routes. The agency also runs hiking and trekking programs in Huerquehue and Conguillío National Parks, to the Voipir Glacier and the Parasitic Craters, as well as nature and hot-springs day tours and volcanic cave exploration. Rounding out the catalogue are water-based adventures including rafting, canyoning, rappelling, hydrospeed and gentle family river floats.
With certified mountain guides and a clear bias toward serious alpine objectives, Ermitaño appeals to travellers who want more than the standard tourist volcano walk — multi-peak itineraries, ski-touring descents and genuine expedition experiences. That technical credibility, backed by official accreditation, sets it apart among Pucón's many general adventure agencies.
