Highly recommended for the Villarrica ascent! - We did the Villarrica volcano ascent with Zenit and had a great experience. We felt safe on the whole tour (we also have some mountaineering experience ourselves) and the guides were fun and incredibly knowledgeable about nature, people, volcanoes and everything. The equipment provided was in great condition and well prepared. Communication with the company was easy, and everything felt well organized from start to finish.

Amazing day with great staff and group. - Amazing day climbing Villarrica volcano. Staff were professional and friendly. They were very safety conscious and reminded us to drink plenty of water and eat food. Given backpack with all our equipment needed for the day. We went at a slow steady pace which made the ascent easier. You go in single file so unless they tell you we are having a break, you keep going but the breaks are spaced out appropriately and sure there would be not be a problem if had to stop briefly. We had safety demonstration on how to climb in the snow and ice with the crampons and ice axe, we moved at a good pace and by time we knew it we had reached the top. They took photos of us at the crater and given extra layers to slide down the snow on the way down. It was sooo fun and again they were very safety conscious. We had perfect weather which helped but Zendt travel were amazing and would highly recommend. Thanks again! It was one of our best days travelling out of 3 months of travelling so far!

Great experience hiking in pucon - This was a great activity. A nice and challenging hike with different conditions. Guides are great and very professional. Would highly recommend and it is manageable. We started the hike without the chairlift and the all the group made it to the summit. 1st time wearing crampons and no issues. The 3km slide down made it a fun experience and saved us from doing the more strenuous hike down the snow capped incline.
