After an early breakfast you will set out with your guide for the small group activity of your choice. There is something for everyone and every season especially winter. Some of the nature options you have offered most of seasons are to horseback ride through the remote areas of the Cordilleras on Chilean bred horses or hike at the National Park of Villarrica with its beautiful flora and fauna. If birding is your passion Vira Vira works in close collaboration with the Birding Club of Pucon to offer you a range of exciting excursions and places for spotting the different species of birds in the area.

If being active on the water is more your style there are plenty of opportunities to pick from. You may choose to go river rafting on the Trancura River or take advantage of the great location and try some kayaking which will test your skills and courage based upon the river route you choose. For a more relaxing water experience there is a sailing excursion on the Lake Villarrica as well as fishing and fly fishing adventure that can take place on the lake or a river depending upon your preference.

In the winter there are plenty of adventurous activities such as touring along the active Volcano Villarrica on skis or if you're really a thrill seeker snowboarding down the volcano is an option as well. Snowshoeing provides a more stable environment to witness the beauty of the Chilean mountains. There is even winter horseback riding for those who would like to relax and enjoy the peaceful winter landscape.
