Andean Sunset
Laguna Verde
by Jiri Hajek

Lenticular clouds (slightly irregular, I guess) created amazing show during sunset at Laguna Verde.

Dawn at Laguna Verge brough amazing colors, what a lovely location to spend a night at!

Photography tips: Sunrise and sunset are obviously great times to photograph any landscape, but in this case daylight is also a great time to consider, since full sunlight makes the beautiful color of the lake shine.

Getting there: It's just of the Ch31 road, close to the San Francisco pass. Note that there aren't any services for hundreds kilometers around, so bring enough gas and everything you might need to be self-sufficient.

Sweet Evening
Mirador Pan de Azucar
by Jiri Hajek

This is a lovely location to watch Sunset a take some photographs of the beautiful coast of the Pan de Azucar.

Photo Tips: This is definitely an afternoon/sunset location, as it's oriented towards the West and the setting Sun lits the coast.

Getting there: Drive towards the parking and then walk about 2km slightly uphill.
