Volcan Villarrica (2840m) dominates the skyline as we draw nearer (60 km).

After an easy ride following the wide Tolten river valley to Lago Villarrica we caught up with cyclist Alex Monty, who we met two weeks ago.  We shared a campsite and our life stories with him in this popular tourist area.  Alex is taking a year off from working as a computer game animator (the dream job of my boys’ generation).  The snow line is much lower here (maybe 1500m) than further north, making these mountains seem higher.  In Ecuador the snow line was around 4500m; and even on Aconcagua, only 800 km north, the snow line is above 3000m.
