From the Austral Highway

One of the most intriguing parts of Patagonia, for me, is the Austral Highway, a narrow slice of dirt that cuts 100's of miles from the Valdivian rainforests and steep-sided fjords in the north to the open beech forests, massive lakes and wide glacier-carved valleys in the south. A seldom-traveled route took us from the Laguna del Desierto near Chalten, 31 kilometers north to Lago O' Higgins, across which starts the Austral Highway.

"Big Dream, Caution! One at a time." The imagination only supports one truly big dream at a time, I suppose?
