3/27 Ventisquero Colgante

While we were at Puyuguapi Lodge we took at hike to a lookout of Ventisquero Colgante in the Parque Nacional Queulat. Our guide, Claudio led the way and Edgardo of the Lodge joined us.
Our first stop was the Laguna on the Rio de las Cascadas where we saw a peekaboo view of the hanging glacier. Next we went over a suspension bridge and continued an upward climb for 3.3 kilometers with an altitude gain of 1000 meters. Unfortunately the cloud level descended as we went up so we could not see more of the glacier but we did see large bits fall and smash on the rocks 1000 feet below and heard the rumble sound of the glacier and the ice hitting the ground.

It was a great experience but now we have sore muscles to help us remember the trip.
