Futaleufu and the rock of the eagle

Futaleufu (or Futa) is a city of approximately 2000 inhabitants located in northern Patagonia. In Mapudungun (Mapuche language) the name means "big river". It is well known for its water sports. Its name comes from the closest river which is known as one of the top 3 spots for rafting worldwide.

Puyuhuapi

Having completed our Cerro Castillo Trek, we started travelling north from Coyhaique along the Carretera Austral, using one of the local buses that are heading that way. Once leaving behind town, one is quickly surrounded by lush temperate rain forest and an impressive mountain scenery. Our first stop was Puyuhuapi, a tiny village about 140km north for Coyhauique.
