Puyehue Lake (Mapudungun: "puye", small fish and "hue", place) is located in the border of Los Lagos Region with Los Ríos Region of Chile.

In 2001-2002, several sediment cores were taken in Lake Puyehue. The scientific results have been published in several journals (QR 2005 [http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.yqres.2005.06.005] , JOPL 2008 [http://www.springerlink.com/content/t06n56521484/?p=4917b8f2e48b4f448bb80d8a1b93c7af&pi=0] )
