Cascada del glaciar colgante - P. Nacional Queulat (Patagonia Chile)
El Parque Nacional Queulat se ubica 165 kms al norte de la ciudad de Coyhaique en la Region de Aysen a tan solo 6 kms de Puyuhuapi. Con mas de 4000mm de lluvia al año se caracteriza por su abundante vegetacion, una verdadera jungla siempreverde de Bosque Patagonico Valdiviano y tambien por su abrupta geografia que ofrece pristinos e intocados paisajes como fiordos, montañas, multliples lagos y lagunas, ventisqueros, rios y cascadas. Uno de los mayores atractivos es el ventisquero colgante del Glaciar Queulat. A mas de 400 mts de altura las masa de hielo se muestra dejando caer al vacio una gran cascada que origina el Lago Tempanos y el Rio Ventisquero. Considerada entre los saltos de agua mas espectaculares del mundo atrae a miles de visitantes cada año. Esta vista corresponde al mirador ubicado a 1 kms del venstisquero. Por su cercania con la Carretera Austral es uno de los glaciares mas accesibles de la Patagonia Chilena.
La Carretera Austral o Ruta CH-7, nace en la ciudad de Puerto Montt, recorriendo mas de 1.240 kilómetros, en su trayecto cruza varias veces la cordillera de los Andes, junto con bordear el litoral y los fiordos de la Patagonia Occidental, para luego internarse en los bosques australes siempre verdes, acercándose a numerosos glaciares, grandes lagos y los ventisqueros de los Campos de Hielo Norte para finalizar en Villa O’Higgins, a unos cuantos kilómetros del Campo de Hielo Sur.
