Patagonia

Patagonia is a vast and rugged region located in the southernmost part of Chile, known for its stunning natural beauty and diverse wildlife. This remote area is a paradise for photographers, offering a wealth of breathtaking landscapes and unique wildlife encounters. From the towering peaks of the Andes to the pristine glaciers and turquoise lakes, Patagonia is a photographer's dream destination. Some of the most popular photography locations in Patagonia include Torres del Paine National Park, the Perito Moreno Glacier, and the Tierra del Fuego National Park.

Patagonia Calm
Cuernos

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.

Cerro Castillo, Chile
by StarCitizen

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.

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.

Carretera Austral, Chile
Carretera Austral, Chile
by StarCitizen

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

Sunset in Región de los Lagos, Chile
Región de los Lagos
by Juan Carlos Ruiz San Millán

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.

HDR taken using 5 differently exposed shots.

Lago Lonconao
by Juan Carlos Ruiz San Millán

I took this photo in Chile, in the road to Futaleufú. This area is famous by its amazing landscapes and especially by the acuatic activities on its rivers such as rafting and others. Rivers, lakes and mountains are perfectly combined to create amazing landscapes as you can see in this photo.
