I was welcomed by Roberto Grellet, one of the guides of the caves, who would be in charge of supplying us with safety elements. Among helmets and torches, we entered the house of the volcanoes, where we were given a lecture on volcanology. Lava flows, eruptions and a chronology of all recorded activity of the Villarrica are presented in this place. This house also works as a control post for volcanic acitivity. We learnt about the various parts that form the volcano, the diverse minerals that compose it and the latest eruptions. Furthermore, Roberto explained to me the premonitory phenomena to understand when a volcano is about to strat erupting.
