Between Neuquén and Chile's Lake District, the Andes fill with volcanoes: some active, some dormant, all part of daily life for the people who live at their feet. You can reach the crater of several of them with mountain guides, see them from a lake or from the air, or simply enjoy their snowy silhouette from town. Here are the outings we did to discover them.
