I explored Nahuelbuta National Park with my Dad, Mom, and two
brothers.
The Lake District:
Volcan Osorno (8701 feet elevation, or 2652 meters)
Salto (waterfall) del Leon, near Villarica and Volcan Osorno.
Lower falls of Salto del Leon.
Hiking towards Volcan Osorno.
Villarica Volcano (9340 feet, or 2847 meters) ejects steam above
the temperate rainforest.
Lago Rupanco and Volcan Puntiagudo.
Volcan Puntiagudo (8169 feet elevation, or 2490 meters) rises above
cattle pastures. As a person already familiar with the many Cascade
volcanoes
of the Pacific Northwest, I was still amazed by the larger number of
spectacular
and closely-spaced volcanoes along the spine of the Andes in Southern
Chile.
Palafitos in Castro, Chiloe Island, which is the largest island
in Chile.
