El Valle del Rio Cochamo el secreto mejor guardado de la Patagonia Chilena. Considerado el "Yosemite del hemisferio sur" pero como en el 1800s: pristino, salvaje, rodeado de bosques centenarios y multiples montañas con paredes verticales de granito de mas de 1.000 mts.
Sin caminos, solo senderos penetrando, el Valle del Rio Cochamó se convirtió en el paraíso de los entusiastas del trekking, la meca de los escaladores, un favorito de los amantes de la naturaleza. Sin tarifas de entrada, el sendero del valle es el inicio de un viaje a un área de enorme belleza natural lleno de actividades: trekking, escalada en roca, caving, tobogánes naturales de agua, natación, caminatas, tubing o simplemente relax en la playa.
La principal atraccion del valle es la escalada en roca desnuda en mas de una decena de montañas de granito que hay en el area, solo para expertos pero tambien hay varios trekking de dificultad media o alta, las permanentes lluvias deterioran los senderos agregando dificultad extra al cruce de numerosos rios, trampas de barro y pantanos. "La Junta" es el punto de llegada y principal centro de actividades, hay dos camping muy limpios y con servicios basicos, desde alli se puede dar un corto paseo a la Cascada del Rio La Junta, un tobogan de agua natural o bien tomar alguno de los tres senderos hasta los miradores en la base de los macizos de granito (Arcoiris, Trinidad y Anfiteatro). Otra opcion que adquiere creciente popularidad es el "Cochamo Round Trail" un mega circuito de 6 a 10 días que parte desde Cochamó pasando por "La Junta", "El Arco" una increible formacion de roca sobre una cascada, el Lago Vidal Gormaz, Lago Tagua Tagua, Puelo y regreso a Cochamo, recorriendo algunos de los paisajes mas sobrecogedores del norte de la Patagonia, sin dudas el nivel de los atractivos lo hacen compárable solo con el "Gran Circuito" de Torres del Paine.
Cabe señalar que para todas estas opciones existe la posibilidad de contratar caballos, cargadores y guias o bien paquetes grupales completos en modalidad turismo aventura por varios dias.

Cochamo River Valley's best kept secret of Chilean Patagonia. Considered the "Yosemite of the southern hemisphere" but as in the 1800s: pristine, wild, surrounded by mature woodland and mountains with multiple vertical granite walls of over 1,000 meters.
With no roads, only trails penetrating, Cochamó River Valley became a paradise for trekking enthusiasts, the mecca for climbers, a favorite with nature lovers. No entry fees, the path of the valley is the start of a trip to an area of great natural beauty full of activities: trekking, rock climbing, caving, water natural slides, swimming, hiking, tubing or just relaxing on the beach .
The main attraction of the valley is the naked rock climbing in over a dozen granite mountains that are in the area, only for experts but also several medium difficulty trekking or high, the constant rains the trails deteriorate adding extra difficulty crossing many rivers, swamps and mud traps. "La Junta" is the main arrival point and activity center, two camping very clean with basic services, from there you can take a short walk to the "La Junta" river waterfall, a natural water slide or take any of the three trails to the lookout at the base of the granite massifs (Rainbow, Trinidad and Amphitheatre). Another increasingly popular option is the "Cochamo Round Trail" a mega circuit 6-10 days from Cochamó part through "La Junta", "El Arco" an amazing rock formation under a waterfall, Lake Vidal Gormaz, Lake Tagua Tagua, and return to Cochamo by Puelo, touring some of the most breathtaking landscapes of northern Patagonia, undoubtedly the attraction level only comparing with Torres del Paine Big Circuit.
Note that for all these options is possible to hire horses, porters and guides or group packages complete in adventure travel mode for several days.

REFORD GARDENS | LES JARDINS DE MÉTIS
Visit : www.refordgardens.com/
From Wikipedia:
Elsie Stephen Meighen - born January 22, 1872, Perth, Ontario - and Robert Wilson Reford - born in 1867, Montreal - got married on June 12, 1894.
Elsie Reford was a pioneer of Canadian horticulture, creating one of the largest private gardens in Canada on her estate, Estevan Lodge in eastern Québec. Located in Grand-Métis on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River, her gardens have been open to the public since 1962 and operate under the name Les Jardins de Métis and Reford Gardens.
Born January 22, 1872 at Perth, Ontario, Elsie Reford was the eldest of three children born to Robert Meighen and Elsie Stephen. Coming from modest backgrounds themselves, Elsie’s parents ensured that their children received a good education. After being educated in Montreal, she was sent to finishing school in Dresden and Paris, returning to Montreal fluent in both German and French, and ready to take her place in society.
She married Robert Wilson Reford on June 12, 1894. She gave birth to two sons, Bruce in 1895 and Eric in 1900. Robert and Elsie Reford were, by many accounts, an ideal couple. In 1902, they built a house on Drummond Street in Montreal. They both loved the outdoors and they spend several weeks a year in a log cabin they built at Lac Caribou, south of Rimouski. In the autumn they hunted for caribou, deer, and ducks. They returned in winter to ski and snowshoe. Elsie Reford also liked to ride. She had learned as a girl and spent many hours riding on the slopes of Mount Royal. And of course, there was salmon-fishing – a sport at which she excelled.
In her day, she was known for her civic, social, and political activism. She was engaged in philanthropic activities, particularly for the Montreal Maternity Hospital and she was also the moving force behind the creation of the Women’s Canadian Club of Montreal, the first women club in Canada. She believed it important that the women become involved in debates over the great issues of the day, « something beyond the local gossip of the hour ». Her acquaintance with Lord Grey, the Governor-General of Canada from 1904 to 1911, led to her involvement in organizing, in 1908, Québec City’s tercentennial celebrations. The event was one of many to which she devoted herself in building bridges with French-Canadian community.
During the First World War, she joined her two sons in England and did volunteer work at the War Office, translating documents from German into English. After the war, she was active in the Victorian Order of Nurses, the Montreal Council of Social Agencies, and the National Association of Conservative Women.
In 1925 at the age of 53 years, Elsie Reford was operated for appendicitis and during her convalescence, her doctor counselled against fishing, fearing that she did not have the strength to return to the river.”Why not take up gardening?” he said, thinking this a more suitable pastime for a convalescent woman of a certain age. That is why she began laying out the gardens and supervising their construction. The gardens would take ten years to build, and would extend over more than twenty acres.
Elsie Reford had to overcome many difficulties in bringing her garden to life. First among them were the allergies that sometimes left her bedridden for days on end. The second obstacle was the property itself. Estevan was first and foremost a fishing lodge. The site was chosen because of its proximity to a salmon river and its dramatic views – not for the quality of the soil.
To counter-act nature’s deficiencies, she created soil for each of the plants she had selected, bringing peat and sand from nearby farms. This exchange was fortuitous to the local farmers, suffering through the Great Depression. Then, as now, the gardens provided much-needed work to an area with high unemployment. Elsie Reford’s genius as a gardener was born of the knowledge she developed of the needs of plants. Over the course of her long life, she became an expert plantsman. By the end of her life, Elsie Reford was able to counsel other gardeners, writing in the journals of the Royal Horticultural Society and the North American Lily Society. Elsie Reford was not a landscape architect and had no training of any kind as a garden designer. While she collected and appreciated art, she claimed no talents as an artist.
Elsie Stephen Reford died at her Drummond Street home on November 8, 1967 in her ninety-sixth year.
In 1995, the Reford Gardens ("Jardins de Métis") in Grand-Métis were designated a National Historic Site of Canada, as being an excellent Canadian example of the English-inspired garden.(Wikipedia)

LES JARDINS DE MÉTIS
Créés par Elsie Reford de 1926 à 1958, ces jardins témoignent de façon remarquable de l’art paysager à l’anglaise. Disposés dans un cadre naturel, un ensemble de jardins exhibent fleurs vivaces, arbres et arbustes. Le jardin des pommetiers, les rocailles et l’Allée royale évoquent l’œuvre de cette dame passionnée d’horticulture. Agrémenté d’un ruisseau et de sentiers sinueux, ce site jouit d’un microclimat favorable à la croissance d’espèces uniques au Canada. Les pavots bleus et les lis, privilégiés par Mme Reford, y fleurissent toujours et contribuent , avec d’autres plantes exotiques et indigènes, à l’harmonie de ces lieux.
Created by Elsie Reford between 1926 and 1958, these gardens are an inspired example of the English art of the garden. Woven into a natural setting, a series of gardens display perennials, trees and shrubs. A crab-apple orchard, a rock garden, and the Long Walk are also the legacy of this dedicated horticulturist. A microclimate favours the growth of species found nowhere else in Canada, while the stream and winding paths add to the charm. Elsie Reford’s beloved blue poppies and lilies still bloom and contribute, with other exotic and indigenous plants, to the harmony of the site.

Because of God’s grace to me, I have laid the foundation like an expert builder. Now others are building on it. But whoever is building on this foundation must be very careful. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have—Jesus Christ.
[1 Corinthians 3:10-11 NLT]
5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)
2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)
3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)
4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)
5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)
Read the Bible for yourself. Allow the Lord to speak to you through his Word. YOUR ETERNITY IS AT STAKE!
