After camping with a view of the smoking volcano in Parque Pumalin we moved to another campsite in the park. This time we had an amazing view of a glacier. In Spanish a glacier is a ventisquero.
Near the campsite we found an old plane in the bushes. We think it was a Douglas DC3 from the 1930s.
A little south we found Lago Yelcho a beautiful lake surrounded by mountains. We camped here and hiked to one of the glaciers. The lake is very popular for trout fishing.
The hike was very muddy but the views of the glacier were amazing. The carretera is a spectacular road with new photo opportunities at every turn. The road swings towards the sea and as you know building sandcastles is one of my favourite activities so we had to stop.
We found an amazing campsite on the south side of Lago General Carrera with some great hammocks to relax in.
