"This is my Father's world, The birds their carols raise, The morning light, the lily white, Declare their maker's praise. This is my Father's world. He shines in all that's fair. in the rustling grass I hear Him pass, He speaks to me everywhere. - (Hymn- "This is My Father's World" - by Maltbie Babcock).
Puerto Montt, Chile - Feb. 25, 2013
We arrived in a small city called Puerto Montt. It is well known for its powerful natural beauty. This area is comprised of the towering Andes mountains, glacially carved lakes, snow-capped volcanoes, and many flowing, glacially fed rivers. The beauty of Puerto Montt, Osorno Volcano, and the Petrohue was an unforgettable memory.
HOLA FROM PUERTO MONTT, CHILE!
LUCKILY, WE CLEARLY SAW THIS MAGNIFICENT OSORNO VOLCANO. THIS VOLCANO IS RARELY SEEN BECAUSE OF THE LOW HANGING CLOUD COVER. THE VIEW WAS BREATHTAKING. IT IS NOTED FOR ITS SIMILAR APPEARANCE TO MT. FUJI IN JAPAN.
LEISURELY CRUISING ON SCENIC CATAMARAN RIDE THOUGH LAKE ESMERALDA (LAGO TODOS LOS SANTOS). THE MAGNIFICENT SNOW-CAPPED OSORNO VOLCANO AS A BACKDROP.
LAKE ESMERALDA IS KNOWN FOR IT'S BRILLIANT EMERALD COLOR. IS IT REALLY GREEN? IT'S BELIEVED THAT WEATHER CONDITIONS & CLOUD COVERED SKY CREATED THIS VISUALLY STUNNING OPTICAL ILLUSION.
VISITED THE PETROHUE RIVER. AT THIS RUSHING STREAM, WE WALKED ACROSS CATWALKS UNTIL WE GOT TO THE MAGNIFICENT PETROHIE FALLS, WHERE WE SAW A CRASHING WATERFALL SET AGAINST A BACKDROP OF THE NEARBY OSORNO VOLCANO.
RHOD AT PETROHUE RIVER, PERCHED AT THE FOOT OF OSORNO VOLCANO. FALLS FEATURE BEAUTIFUL TURQUOISE COLOR.
RHOD & EBB W/ THE MAGICAL ORSONO VOLCANO. THIS SPOT IS CLOSE TO THE ANDES AND AT THE FOOT MT. OSORNO
VIEW OF OSORNO VOLCANO W/ FLOWING RIVER
WE STOPPED AT A LOCAL RESTAURANT HERE, FOR A DELICIOUS LUNCH OF CHILEAN FAVORITES. ON THE MENU ARE CHEESE EMPANADAS, VEGETABLE SOUP, GRILLED SALMON AND KUTCHEN FOR DESSERT (A GERMAN CAKE).
A SCENIC RESTAURANT TO SIT ON THE SWING AND MARVEL AT THE GLORIOUS PICTUREQUES OSORNO VOLCANO.
ON THE SHORE OF LAKE LLANQUEHUE AND LOOKS ACROSS TO THE STUNNING MT. OSORNO.
RHOD AT LAKE LLANQUEHUE WITH MT. OSORNO IN THE BACKGROUND.
CHARMING TOWN OF PUERTO VARAS, WHICH RESTS ON THE SHORES OF SHIMMERING LAKE LLANQUEHUE.
PUERTO VARAS IS FOUNDED BY GERMAN IMMIGRANTS OVER 150 YRS. AGO. THE TOWN IS WELL KNOWN FOR IT'S GERMAN TRADITIONS, FOOD AND ARCHITECTURE.
PLAZA DE ARMAS AT PUERTO VARAS. ALSO ON THE LAKE IS KNOWN AS THE CITY OF ROSES.
"The true star of a visit to Puerto Montt, however, is its amazing natural landscape. What a wonderful day to be very close to nature, truly immersed in my Father's World. The Great Creator of the universe, SPEAKS everywhere. So grateful to have this privileged."
