Leaving Argentina for the time being, we crossed the Andes into Chile via a series of lake crossings and bus transport over 2 days with an overnight in Peulla.

The blowing snow made for a very nice lake crossing and we could still appreciate the high peaks all around us.

The next day we arrived in Puerto Varas,  a pretty little town on Largo Llanquihue settled by Germans about 100 years ago.  Many of the houses are built with wooden shingles and there is a wonderful view of Volcan Osorno across the lake (on a good day).
