A cold wind strips the warmth from your jacket as the boat pushes off the Port of Petrohué and the lake opens up—two hours of water between you and Villa Peulla, and a ring of volcanoes keeping watch. Osorno’s perfect cone, the serrated Puntiagudo and the broader bulk of Tronador slide into view one after another, their flanks reflecting in a turquoise arena that seems to dare you to look away.
