Collico Lake

Lake Colico lies between the Andean mountains and the central lowlands of southern Chile. Carved by glaciers and enclosed by wooded hills, it receives streams descending from the cordillera, including the Trafampulli River. Its waters form part of a landscape of lakes, forests and volcanoes in Mapuche country. The steep shores and mountain-fed streams distinguish the lake basin from the open plains farther west.
