Extreme activies in Pucón

In the ninth region of Chile (Araucanía) there's a little town called Pucón where you can do many activities such as volcano climbing, trekkings, canopy and rafting. I did rafting for the first time in my life last summer holidays (2017) and I also climbed the most active volcano in Chile (Villarrica). Dear reader, I thought that I was going to die, however here I am telling you this story about two big adventures. Climbing the volcano isn't an easy job, it takes 9 hours to reach the top of the volcano but when return to the bottom of the volcano you must slide in the snow, which is funny but it could be scary for those who don't like high places. On the other hand, Rafting is also a very known activity of this little town called "Pucón", because it has some rivers (its afluents comes from the highest points of "Los Andes" so the water is very cold), once again you have guide who teaches how to survive such adventure (it is scary to learn how to survive when you just want to have a great time), but when you are on it you really enjoy it, especially if you like team work and if you are coordinated. Once again I survived this adventure (maybe not my skin because of the sunburn) but I did spend a great time in both activities and it made me think about other adventures like these ones in the near future. As you can see Chile is not just about different and beautiful landscapes, you can also find some adventures if you are that kind of person who seeks for adventures everywhere! (or adrenaline).
