Gudrun's photos with the keyword: Parque Nacional Queulat

Legendary Carretera Austral runs through Queulat National Park. After climbing Altos de Queulat in a series of hairpin bends it drops into Cisnes Valley. This photo was taken in Sector Portezuelo south of the pass.

Ventisquero Colgante is the main attraction of Queulat National Park. Although the park covers 1541 km² only small sections along Ruta 7 (Carretera Austral) are open to the public, the large part is undisturbed rainforest, mountains and glacier. The hanging glacier originates from a small 80 km² icefield and can often be heard and seen calving into the lagoon below it. On our visit a large chunk broke off, sadly we were in the forest at the time and the trees were in the way of a decent photo. The inset photos are from the eastern viewpoint and from Laguna de los Témpanos (the footpath to the western mirador was closed).
