from this point ... Contao ... there are two ways to reach HORNOPIREN,,, place of shipment of the first stage of this journey
this road is an alternative to the main ... winding stone path that gives facing the Pacific Ocean,,, many places for free camping .... exposed to the wind but gives driving in rainy weather,,, it is also a reliable way,,,,
some fishing villages on the route,,, are selling their southern seafood,,,,,, caught salmon
mussels shoes etc ...

Magic moment .... up to ferry .....

[video=vimeo;120177153]https://vimeo.com/120177153[/video]


From this point the wonder of the place shows its face ............. ....... virgin route indomita
bimodal ferry system for a time of 6 hrs sail through the fjord of Leptepu .......
between the two points of embarkation there is only one way CONNECTING which should be traveled slowly .... avoid pack of hounds that make motorists more eager to move from one point to another to embark,,,,
after all everyone embarks ...

next arrival in the port town of Chaiten mythical ....
razed by the volcano of the same name that 2008 came into activity causing a disaster of proportions ...

Today the volcano is asleep .... but ..... careful not stop fumasear

a beautiful trail leads him to the gates of the park,,,
our walk was accompanied by a fun rain ... what made the landscape more beautiful ...
the main attraction is its hanging glacier Queulat ...
to reach the did a footpath surrounded by native vegetation,, 3.6 km.., pretty much mud and climb ups ...,, that left us breathless with several opportunities,,,
finally a great adventure and it was worth ...
the glacier is a feast for the eyes
