villarrica volcanic caves

the caves itself are really nice and the tour guides are also really good, but compared to other activities I did in chile it seems to be a bit expensive (18000 pesos for around one hour). However, I'm happy I did it.

The road there was unplowed and full of snow. We got a ride from one of the workers in a four wheeler with chains. It was a bit misty and foggy when we arrived. Our guide Cecilia did a great job giving us information. She can speak English but she spoke Spanish with us. The caves are interesting and you see different lava deposits and the minerals in them. Tour is pretty short but worthwhile.

it's a small place, 1 hour visitdon't worth the feesThe guide Cecilia was good, but speeks only Spanish

I have been in many caves so let me just say that first. This was an interesting tour and it was a beautiful location. The vista you have when arriving is quite beautfiul. The tour itself is well done and I felt informed and safe the entire time. They do turn off the lights, as most cave tours do, and it is.... very dark! The best part is the fact that we were in a lava tube and not a cave formed from water. That made it different. However, it also limits any variety of rocks you will see inside the cave. We enjoyed ourselves but wish it had been a bit cheaper.

We went during winter so unfortunately the nearby ziplining was closed. The tour gave us a good explanation and the caves themselves were gorgeous, very different from non volcanic caves; however, I felt like the activity was a little short given what it cost. It's a cool experience, especially if you're into geology, but not a must-do if you're on a budget.

stalagmites and staltites galore. Well run and quite interesting. Nice zip line nearby, quite interesting area.

You are taken on a tour of the cave, which is quite long. It's a bit cool and wet down there, so bring a jacket. They gave some good explanations about how they were formed, as well as some general info on the Volcano and such. There are some neat formations in there. If you don't speak Spanish, make sure to bring a translator with you.

Interesting and fun, not cheap but beautiful. Make sure you have enough time to take a hike through the nearby forest.

It's no worth the 15000 pesos...We went there when it was raining. The cave is good, but it shouldn't be that expensive !!!The explanations were a bit poor...It's not really easy to go there with very young children!

After a difficult road of volcanic ash, I got to the park. It's a very different landscape with a cool, albeit short, descent into the caves. Make sure you pack a raincoat, because it drips all over inside the cave. Really cool!

The volcanic cave is well explained by local guides and the caves provide a sound speological experience, worth for children and adults (especially when all lights are turned out, to experience the absolute darkness).The road to the caves, around half an hour, is in extreme poor conditions.

The drive to the caves is not paved. But kind of fun. You pay a fee at the entrance. I do not remember the price, too many peso conversions to remember. It was me, my husband, a 1 yr old and a 12 yr old. The caferteria has a beautiful view of the lakes. Although it was newly built so there was no water (as in no flushing toilets or sinks to clean your hands). Hopefully that is fixed by now. The tour guide was very nice and knowledgable BUT only spoke in Spanish. He spoke with us in English to make sure we understood but mostly it was Spanish. The actual caves are really cool. The entire lava tube is not explored but the part that is is set up pretty well. Be prepared for darkness and watch your step. The adults enjoyed it, the baby was not scared, and the 12 year old loved that there was a part of the cave called "Chocolate Cave". We did not have time for the nature walk but I could tell there was a giant lava bed to see, pretty cool. Also as a side we ate at a restaurant on the dirt road which was really good and the server is Australian! It's the one with an open top deck and a stacked stone entrance.

the road to get to the caves is an adventure. Don't try without a 4x4. Once you are up there, you are ready to pay any price to make the trip useful. But around EUR 20 p.P. is quite a lot for this cave visit. The tour with a lot of explanation on volcanoes etc. unfortunately was in Spanish only. To understand that, you need to be quite an expert. But: in the summer heat it was the better choice comparing with one of the famous hot springs. We rather needed cold lakes ...

Para el que le gusta la naturaleza y su poder, deben visitarlo, los guías son muy didácticos y entretenidos. Se puede hacer trecking libre por la zona. Vale la pena ir.

Isso não é o vulcão,mas sim,cavernas feitas pelo caminho no qual a lava de erupções antigas passou e se solidificou.Sensacional!
