The Llaima Volcano in the Araucanía region, Chile. Its two snow-white peaks rise above the forests, hills and the Conguillio Lake: on the left, the smaller peak is 2920 m high, and the main peak reaches a height of 3240 meters above sea level.
The trees growing here are quite unusual: these are araucaria, evergreen coniferous trees, which were named after the Araucania region. They reach a height of 40-60 meters.
The Liaima Volcano is a stratovolcano, it is one of the most active volcanoes in Chile with fairly frequent but moderate eruptions for several centuries. I wish I could see such an eruption with my own eyes!
Alas, during our arrival there were no eruptions, and there was beautiful sunny weather, and our short trekking from the lake to a viewpoint on the slope of the Sierra Nevada volcano, from where such views open up to the Llaima volcano, was successful.
I haven't posted anything for a while — I've been very busy. There is no time or energy for large posts yet, but today I decided to share with you at least a few photos of this beautiful volcano and its surroundings. By the way, I processed these photos three years ago and now I can clearly see some shortcomings in them (however, partially caused by the shooting conditions). But I hope you enjoy the photos anyway :)

In one place there is a snow-white volcano, a lake and green forests and hills, so the views are superb :) Thank you! Have a great weekend too!
What a beautiful location, thank you for sharing with us.
Yes, it's really a beautiful place! Thank you for stopping by to look here :)
Wow, in addition to being a beautiful sight, I feel that the araucaria give a tropical touch to the environment, and the size that these trees can reach is impressive, it reminds me of a palm tree, although they are clearly not the same.
I imagine the weather must be good in that area.
Thanks for sharing this post from a place as beautiful as that @sharker
Agree, there is something tropical in such a landscape with these araucarias, especially together with the lake :) I don’t know about the weather in those places in general, but that day was just great weather! Such a deep blue sky and a white volcano in the background... I still clearly remember it.
Mountains are beginning and the end of nature's scenery🏔️ and the clicks are awesome!!🤩💕❤️
I completely agree! Thanks a lot :)
You are welcome☺️
Wow! Beautiful landscape, great shots...
These photos have it all: snow covered volcanoes, evergreens (this species of Aracaucaria is beautiful), blue skies, lakes, paths, volcanic soil... No wonder why you still remember that day.

STOPYes, the views there are great :) Thank you!
Thank you, I'm glad you like it!
I would even say that the lighting of the volcano is more than I like for the photos - the day was too bright and the snow was too white :)
