About Llaima Volcano, Araucanía

Llaima, 3,125 metres high, is one of the largest and most active volcanoes in Chile. It rises in Conguillío National Park, in the Araucanía region, where old lava flows of black rock cut through forests of araucaria, the tall monkey puzzle tree whose seeds, called piñones, were a traditional food of the Mapuche and Pehuenche peoples. Some araucarias here are many centuries old. In winter the slopes of the volcano are used for skiing, and in summer visitors walk around lakes formed when lava blocked the rivers. This photo shows the snowy volcano above green trees and dark lava.

Puzzle tip: start with the white snow on the volcano; the dark slopes come next, and the green trees and sky last.
