A few years back, while on holidays in the Los Lagos Region in the South of Chile, we heard of a trek called "La Ruta de los Jesuitas". It follows one of the historic trading and missionary routes that connects Argentina across the Andes with Chile, via a pass with the name Vuriloche. Start and end points are the hamlets of Pampa Linda (Argentina) and Ralún (Chile).

Spring in Pucón: sendero cinco cascadas, Rucapillan volcano, termas & hydrospeed

Its picture-postcard-highlight is Rucapillan (which in the language of the Mapuche means "the house of the Spirit"), more commonly known as the Villarrica volcano.
