The boat slips away from the pier as the lake opens into a wide, wind-lined room; water clicks against the hull and the Andes fold up along the horizon. On a clear morning, the mountains stand like a low wall of basalt and snow, and the shoreline alternates between dense coihue forest and pebbled bays that only a small vessel can reach.
