Patagonia

Having unpredictable weather in Patagonia, especially with strong winds, we were lucky enough to have a really calm morning. Looking at blue water and mountain reflections, I felt getting into a dreamland.

The Carretera Austral (CH-7, in english: Southern Way) is the name given to Chile's Route 7. The highway runs south for about 1,240 kilometers (770 mi) from Puerto Montt to Villa O'Higgins, passing through rural Patagonia.[1]

This area is characterized by thick forests, fjords, glaciers, canals and steep mountains.

Carretera Austral provides road access to Chile's Aysén Region and southern parts of Los Lagos Region. These areas are sparsely populated and despite its length, Carretera Austral provides access to only about 100,000 people. The largest city along the entire road is Coyhaique with a population of 44,850

Chilean Patagonia

Cerro Castillo is a jagged rocky peak located in the Aysén del General Carlos Ibáñez del Campo Region of Chile, within the Cerro Castillo National Reserve. Castillo means castle in Spanish, and the steep basalt walls of the mountain indeed make it look like one. On its sides are a few small glaciers and lakes fed by them.

I recently had the opportunity to spend 3 weeks driving through the south of Chile in the Chilean Patagonia. The travel started in Puerto Montt (Región de los Lagos) and finished in Villa O'higgins (Aysen) the south most point of the famous and amazing Carretera Austral. This photo is the first one of the series I will publish from this travel. I hope you like them.

I took this photo near Puerto Montt, about 70 km south and after crossing the fiord from Caleta La Arena to Caleta Puelche in the boat (barcaza). The day was finishing and we had the opportunity to stop in this beach and take some photos of the sunset. This was the first day and it promised good opportunities for nice landscapes and photos.

The base of the mountain can be approached from the road in one day along Estero Parada river.

The route followed an 800-meter-high, snow-and-ice couloir which had an angle of 55° in the upper part of the west face of Cerro Castillo.

Chaitén is a volcanic caldera 3 kilometres in diameter, 17 kilometres west of the elongated ice-capped Michinmahuida volcano and 10 kilometres northeast of the town of Chaitén, near the Gulf of Corcovado in southern Chile. The most recent eruptive phase of the volcano erupted on 2008
