On our fifth day in Pucón the time had come to finally climb the climb, tame the mountain, conquer the volcano. Yes, that's right, we signed up for it and now there wa no turning back! Equipped with ice pick, helmet, gloves, crampons, astronaut's boots, windbreaker jackets, trousers, gangster hats and sunglasses, we started our 5 hour hike towards the highly active Villarrica volcano crater. With sheer perseverance and armed with chocolate bars, energy drinks etc., we made it all the way to the top!!
Sadly the weather turned so bad (-40°C and storm force 8), that we were not able to take a photo from the mountain top without losing a finger or two... But we are sure that you guys believe us, even without the photographical proof of the sulphur spitting crater^^
