A fantastic trip west from Chile to the Argentine border led us to camp under Volcan Lanin. This volcano sits at 3776 meters and is the visible focal point of the region. The international border station literally sits under the mountain, and we had ample time to view Lanin, as we waited for several hours to clear customs. Being late in the day, we decided to look for a spot to sleep for the night. A campground was not far, and we met the host, who kindly told us to set up wherever we liked. This was a launching pad for people planning to climb Lanin, and we watched the different teams make preparations for the ascent. We enjoyed a great walk, a gourmet camp-cooked pasta dinner, and about a billion stars under the southern sky. After a restful night's sleep, we headed east, into the Argentine Lake District region. This was a stop to remember.
