Cara del Indio (Face of the Indian)
Do you see his face? He watches all of the crazy gringos rafting and kayaking down this dangerous river.

I couldn´t get enough of this place. Someday I will come back. The winds just howl through the river valley

Camping here was rustic but had all I needed. A view of the sauna and showers to the left and cooking area under the circular hut. The Germans and Swiss tookover the place.

Traveling from Cara del Indio to Ventisquero Colgante
Man, there is just no infrastructure to be found in this region. No buses, no people. Nobody to give me a ride. I waited for almost 2 hours and didn´t mind it a bit. I hope this region of Chile always remains difficult to reach.

Patagonian Horse Fly
You think horse flies are big in Minnesota. I always had 2 or 3 of these buggers keeping me company, especially when fishing by the river.

Finally got a ride
Jose and his son Julian were so friendly to pick me up in Villa Santa Lucia. We stopped here in Puyuhuapi fro lunch. They dropped me off at the front gate to the Parque Nacional Queulat and the Ventisquero Colgante. A very dusty ride.
