Thanks 4 your words, seems like you are a Chile "conossieur" :Wow1: , that broken avalanche retaining wall is exactly there, close to Chile Chico on the road that boarders the General Carrera Lake , an astonishing road.

We rated that road as one of the top 10 days in what was nearly a 2 year trip
(the road from San Pedro de Atacama to Uyuni Bolvia via Lagunas verde and colorado was probably number 1 or 2)

Incredible photos! :Wow1: :drool: I just looked through all the pages of the thread. I started saving money a while back in hopes of shipping the landcruiser to northern chile/southern peru and traveling around for 6 months. Those pictures just make me want to go that much more!
This picture is great; with the boat on top of your truck in the middle of the desert. :smiley_drive:

Great !! Hope you travel plans materialize !
Yes that's a cool sight , I had expectations to paddle the Kajak in those flat high altitude salt lakes (this here is the Salar de Pedernales) at 12,200 ft asl but it was quite windy, low temp (even at high summer) and open water was not to be reached easily ... I remember that day we only saw only one other traveller (a Toyota Tundra with mining contractors)... pretty lonely places I love.

Haha my comment was directed at the previous post, where they posted more (fabulous) pictures of chile. However, that thread you posted is just great and I love looking at all the pics and deciphering bits of Spanish. A wonderful area indeed! I still hope to make it down there on a road trip sometime. Thanks for posting!
