Pali Aike

Pali Aike, a cold patagonian step with vulcanic formations in region XII of Chile, in province de Magellanes, 195 km from Punta Arenas... The oldes vulcano errupted 3000000 years ago, the newest erruption is dated for 10000 years. Impressive colours and balzatic lava pipes.

Guanaco baby seems to be very curious while it`s mama - very pissed off...

Lava pipes

Climbing to a Crater Morada del Diablo

The inner layers of crater are peeling off, showing many different shadows of basalt lava


Once you drop into, forget getting away from the Devil´s Throat

Looking into Crater Morada del Diablo

So much live and joy on such a dry and windy place

Lava bubbles

Calafate Enano (Berberis empetrifolia)



Zapatito de la Virgen (Calceoraria uniflora)

Ana Lagoon with salty water, the only source of water in the park.

On the way back to Punta Arenas
