Itinerary description
Someone else has posted the trail to the Mirador viewpoint, but for the English speakers, I thought I’d add some colour commentary.
It took us over 4 hours up, 3+ down with a lunch break. It is very steep at the bottom, and again at the very top. You need to be in decent shape and have good shoes and water. The temperature was quite different, top to bottom, so be prepared for that. It was very windy at the top.
When you make it, you will be treated to a spectacular view of four volcanoes: (Volcán Llaima, Volcán Villarrica, Volcán Quetrupillan and Volcán Lanin)
You can park closer to the start of the hike by taking the road the leads behind the official parking lot. You can pay at the trail start or the official parking. This knocks at least 30 minutes off the hike.
Enjoy!
