Auf zu den Vulkanen!

From Argentina, we went back to Chile, to the volcano and lake region. After all the mountains, we could hardly wait to see the first volcano. And the region is full of, some still active, volcanoes.

On the first evening in Puerto Varas, an breathtaking view awaited us. From the lakeshore, we could directly see the first two volcanoes: Osorno - the little brother of Mount Fuji in Japan - and Calbuco. Calbuco last erupted in 2015 and covered the area with its ash layer, changing it in a way that there are hardly any tourist activities possible. Of course, we wanted to get closer to the new "mountains" and so we moved to the small village of Ensanadas, which is located between the two fire spitters.

We certainly wouldn't miss the hikes up to Osorno and so we spent wonderful days on and around the volcano.
