Also, Lakes Llanquihue and Todos los Santos are some of the many in the region which are surrounded by forests and beautiful cities. Immigrants during the 19th century, mostly from Germany, developed this area; one can still find a certain Germanic flavour in the southern cities, not only in their architectural style, but also in their excellent pastries like Strudel, Kuchen and many others delicacies, which can be found not only here but all over Chile.
Languid Lake Llanquihue Untouched Chiloe Island :
Because of subsidence of the earth's crust, the Coast Ranges and the central lowlands have been partially submerged, forming the extensive archipelago of South Chile, an area of craggy islands (notably Chiloé), numerous channels, and deep fjords. The Chilean Lake District is a noted resort area for thousands of visitors every year.
The busy port of Valdivia :
Although all of Southern Chile is forested, only the drier northern part has exploitable timber resources, Puerto Montt and Temuco are major timber-handling centers. The rest of the region is a wilderness of mid-latitude rain forest, which has been extensively logged. Because of the climate, agriculture is limited but livestock raising (cattle and pigs) is an important activity. A portion of extreme Southern Chile lies in the rain shadow of the Andes and is covered by natural grasslands. Here, extensive sheep grazing is found, with wool, mutton, and skins, being the chief products. Interestingly, this area also yields petroleum. Valdivia, a port on the Pacific Ocean, is the fourth largest industrial center of Chile. And the world's southernmost city, Punta Arenas, is found here, on the Strait of Magellan.
Patagonia’s Incredible Torres del Paine :
From Campo de Hielo Sur (the southern ice-cap) to the Chilean Antarctic Territory, is one of the most spectacular areas of the planet. Among all the attractions, the Torres del Paine peaks are, undoubtedly, one of the most popular, and deservedly so, due to their incredible scenery and wealth of possible activities for the visitor, such as climbing, hiking and photography. This is a land of lagoons, lakes, glaciers and snowcaps, as well as a great variety of species endemic to Chile. Reaching up from the massif stand the Torres y Cuernos (towers and horns) which give the park its name and pose challenges for climbers from all over the world.
