Blue sky water view of Todos Los Santosm Lake, looking towards Volcan Puntiagudo, from the stern of a tourist boat, Andes, Chile
Todos los Santos Lake ('All Saints Lake') is located in Chile's Region of Lakes, 76 kilometres east of Puerto Varas, in the Vicente Perez Rosales National Park. The lake has a surface area of square kilometres and a maximum depth of 337 metres. Its is surrounded by broad-leaved, evergreen, Valdivian Temperate Rain Forest. Regular boats transport tourists between the two main lake ports: Petrohue, at its western; the village of Peulla, at its eastern end. There is no road connection. It lies on the Andean Lakes route between Puerto Varas, Chile, and San Carlos de Bariloche, on Lake Nahuel Hapi, Argentina. Three Andean stratovolcanoes are visible from the lake waters: Tronador, to the east; west, the classic cone of Volcan Osorno, whose upper slopes are covered in glaciers, due to the substantial snowfall in the moist maritime climate of the region; and here, looking north, the 2439m sharp-pointed summit, due to glacial dissection, of Volcan Puntiagudo. Stratovolcanoes, composed of andesite lava, ash and pumice, are common in subduction zones, where oceanic crust is drawn down under a continent.
