Villarrica
The park (ca 600 km2) is situated south east from Pucon. It is named after it's most obvious feauture the vulcano Villarrica. This is a vulcano as children visualize one. Nice conically shaped with slopes covered with snow as a cake with whipcream. You can climb (guided) the vulcano (2800m) with sensational views of the active crater spitting it's lava up to the crater walls.
Downwards wou go down on your but like on giant slide. At night you can see a orange glow. (See Villarrica climbing)
