点评:In the charming beach town of Pucón, Volcán Villarrica can be seen (and photographed) from many places, but the most famous viewpoint is located in the marina on a short wooden bridge; Mirador La Poza.
If you want a photo of the volcano reflecting in the water, continue to the right (when facing the water) and find the long wooden bridge farthest from the volcano.
If you want to get closer to the volcano and combine it with a fantastic 8-10 km hike, you don't need to climb Volcán Villarrica itself (which is a paid tour for the very fit).
There is a much easier hike (difficulty: moderate) called Sendero Los Cráteres. Anyone can do this hike if they are reasonably fit and have a pair of hiking boots. The hike takes a total of 3-4 hours - along the way, we saw families with children and elderly hikers in their 70s.
From Pucón, drive up to the entrance of Parque Nacional Villarrica and pay 8,000 pesos per person. The best time to go is around 10-11 in the morning, when there are fewer visitors and fewer clouds around the top of the volcano.
From there, drive a few more km - if you're in a regular car, stop at Parking Zorro and walk the last km to the trailhead; if you have a 4WD, you can drive up to a higher parking lot.
There's a sign pointing towards Sendero Los Cráteres, and from there, there's only one way: Up. The trail is narrow and rocky but not dangerous or technically challenging. Even though it's cool at the start, you'll warm up (bring a cap, water, and a snack).
The trail is 4 km up and 4 km back (same way). The last 500 meters to the final viewpoint are a bit tougher because of the lava stones, but most people can manage it - and if not, you've still seen (and photographed) plenty to justify the beautiful hike.
The way down is MUCH easier and quicker than the way up. Enjoy!
翻译:在迷人的海滩小镇普孔,从很多地方都可以看到(和拍摄)比亚里卡火山,但最著名的观景点位于码头的一座短木桥上;米拉多·拉波萨。
如果您想要拍摄火山倒映在水中的照片,请继续向右(面向水时)并找到距离火山最远的长木桥。
如果您想更接近火山并结合精彩的 8-10 公里徒步旅行,则无需攀登比亚里卡火山本身(这是一项适合身体健康的付费旅游)。
有一个更容易的徒步旅行(难度:中等),称为 Sendero Los Cráteres。如果身体健康并且有一双登山靴,任何人都可以进行这次徒步旅行。徒步总共需要3-4个小时——一路上我们看到带着孩子的家庭和70多岁的老人徒步。
从普孔出发,开车至比亚里卡国家公园入口处,每人 8,000 比索。最好的游览时间是早上 10 点至 11 点左右,此时游客较少,火山顶部云层也较少。
从那里,再行驶几公里 - 如果您乘坐普通汽车,请在佐罗停车场停车,然后步行最后一公里到达步道起点;如果您有四轮驱动车,您可以开到更高的停车场。
有一个标志指向 Sendero Los Cráteres,从那里只有一条路:向上。这条小路狭窄且布满岩石,但并不危险或技术上具有挑战性。尽管开始时很冷,但您会热身(带上帽子、水和零食)。
步道上行 4 公里,回程 4 公里(同路)。由于熔岩的存在,最后 500 米的路程有点困难,但大多数人都可以做到 - 即使不能,您仍然可以看到(并拍摄)很多东西来证明这次美丽的徒步旅行是值得的。
下山的路比上山的路容易和快得多。享受!
