The geology of this area is amazing... volanic eruptions, lakes connecting to the ocean then becoming isolated, fossils of river dolphins, plants from the dry zone changing to huge prehistoric looking rhubarb like things, huge mountains, glaciers... one of the prime attractions outside of Rio Tranquilo (very tranquilo or mellow here right now at the beginning of fall... 500 inhabitants or so but they can get 700 tourists through here per day in the summer!) are these cave formations in these marble cliffs down the lake from the town. It's a 15 minute boat ride to the site, and the formations are pretty impressive:
Wow.
After that visit I got to hang around the town for a day waiting for a trip to a remote national park where there is a glacier that calves super blue icebergs and the vegetation is proper coastal chilean wet forest with fijords and all of that... in the next post!
