This lake-filled crater is filled with remnants of the Birdman cult practiced until 1867.

Most interesting history about the Birdman cult where you can view the islands where the swimmers went to acquire the bird eggs and see the structures that the islanders lived in on the island.

This trip to the lagoons at over 4000m altitude was to witness some truly unique and spectacular scenery. The blue lagoons with the backdrop of snow capped peaks and white salt terrain was breathtaking. This was a day trip from San Pedro and the excursion included an outdoor lunch in the sunshine. A great trip with a stop off on the way back at the point where we crossed the Tropic of Capricorn at Lat 23 degrees. A much over used word these days but the vista really was 'amazing'. A special place indeed.

Simply a beautiful place to visit. Was lucky enough to see wild vicuñas grazing by the side of this lake. My iphone camera did not do justice to this perfect place.

This royal blue lake is Chile's largest and South America's fourth largest lake.

We spent almost a day driving around the lake and discovered a stunningly beautiful part of chile. The view is constantly changing: mountains, volcanoes, lake, forests, green meadows, gently rolling hills and charming little towns like german influenced Frutillar or Puerto Octay. A must do when you are in the area.

This vast salt lake is blanketed by a thick crust of salt and attracts some interesting varieties of birds including several different types of flamingos.

Salar de Atacama is the largest salt flat in Chile. It is located 55 km south of San Pedro de Atacama. It is surrounded by mountains and has no drainage outlets. In the east it is enclosed by the main chain of the Andes, while to the west lies a secondary mountain range of the Andes called Cordillera de Domeyko. It is best viewed from a hot air balloon ride especially to appreciate it’s vastness. Certainly would very highly recommend visiting same or viewing it from a hot air balloon ride.

Sometimes called Lago Esmeralda because of its blue-green color, this strikingly beautiful glacial lake is bordered by steep cliffs.
Reviewed By Jrich897 - Paris, France
We arrived at the lake in time to get the ferry to Puella but the trip takes 6 hours (including 3 hours at Puella, a small town with nothing much to do once there). We managed to take a trip on a smaller boat as recommend by the many selling ferry tickets and had one and a half hours on the lake. We went out round the Isla Margarita and back. We were lucky to have fantastic weather with view of all the surrounding volcanoes and mountains and had a wonderful trip. Having saved several hours we then got stuck on the road back out of Petrohue for and hour and a half whilst workman laid a pipe but you can't have everything. A beautiful place in the sunshine...
