Reserva de la Biósfera Bosques Templados Lluviosos de los Andes Australes

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 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

Valle de Cochamó, Región de los Lagos, Chile.

I took this photo in Chile in the Región de Los Lagos, near the Llanquihue Lake. The house was really impressive and the light in the late afternoon contributed to increase the beauty of the house and the garden. In this area of Chile there was an important immigration of german people at the end of the nineteenth century and it can be easily found signs of them, such as arquitecture, gastronomy, names and others. Hope you enjoy.
