Reached North shore

The boat was a speedy one and we made good progress. There were glaciers on both the sides feeding the lake. Halfway through the boat ride, the wind became extremely strong and the boat started splashing a lot of water in front and on the sides. It was too windy, cold amd wet to stay outside for too long. Eventually, around 11 am, we reached the North shore of the lake.
From the Chile side the last village on the Carretera Austral is Villa O'Higgins and if one wants to cross over into Argentina, there are no roads or ferrys. A passenger ferry starts at Bahia Bahamondez near Villa O'Higgins and can take people across the O'Higgins lake to the Candellario Manilla port. From here, its a 21 km trek across the border into Argentina, then past the Laguna Larga and then to the North shore of Lago del Desierto.
It was here, that we were now. The boat stops for about 15 min here.Read more
