On our first day in Pucon we decided to climb Volcan Villarica, an active, smoking volcano that is in the background of Pucon.  It is a bit cattle car-ish as you have to go with a guided group...  The first part of this mountaineering experience involves the favorite tool of all mountaineer greats, the chairlift.  Not how nice a day it is when we are starting.  Now, keep looking.
