VOLCANOES, LAKES, ARAUCARIAS, etc... (Cont'd !)
(South CHILE)

Laguna del Laja

(New trip to South Chile - December 3 to 31, 2013)
(see here our 2008 trip and here our 2012 trip)

(See map and practical information here)


This is the view we came back for : in 2012, weather conditions were not quite optimal...
But, in 2013, we were blessed !

But let's start at the beginning of our trip :
The Laguna del Laja

 

We were lucky (!) : the Park campground was closed for renovation.
With the approval of the Park Ranger, we camped "in the wild", next to the Laguna.


Cool...


 

 

 
The volcán Antuco rises above the Laguna, at an altitude of 3000 meters.

At this time of the year, the brooms are in full bloom...

 

 

 

This volcano seems to be good-natured ?

Don't go by its looks :
In 2005, 45 soldiers died here, in a snowstorm...
