By foot from puerto blest

These photos are from a supposed 28k treck to the north of Puerto blest through spectacular tempereet rainforest in glacially sculpted valleys. Notice the bamboo in one picture. This bamboo is one of the dominent understory plants-- very wierd for such a glacial terrian it made the place feel like a cross between Hawaii Rainforest and Norway. The trail followed an old logging road which had been used to acces Fitzroya (Alerce) trees (like the one pictured; these trees can be 3000 years old! ). The road has long detereorated into the rainforeset and much of the trail was really just a path throgh knee deep mud. Also in some places we had (got) to cross detereorating bridges over interesting small ravines... those were exciting.
