Top Volcanos in Valparaiso Region

My advice is to bring water and snacks – there's not much around. I ended up paying a bit too much for a drink at the visitor center!

I think wearing good walking shoes is a must; the trails can be uneven. I wore flip-flops, and it made things tricky, especially near the crater's edge!

I suggest getting to Rano Kau by around 8 AM to beat the crowds and catch the morning light for photos. It was like having the place to myself, plus the views are stunning at that time.

if you're into photography, i recommend visiting around 5 pm. the lighting is much better for pictures and the crowds are thinned out a bit, which is nice.
