This National Parks located about 2.5 hours north of Punta Arenas and is accessible by day trip. Pali Aike literally means Devil's Country, which is due to the numerous volcanoes in the area. Here you walk in the lava fields directly on the Argentine border.

Die Vulkan von Pali Aike

The youngest volcano is "only" to 15 million years and 9 by its red color.

The special feature of the volcanoes is that they are unlike other not so high, and many even sunken crater like this have a diameter of 2 kilometers has.

The crater Morada del Diablo is reached via a rocky road, the view of the colored stone masses very impressed.

Ana Laguna Die

near the crater there is a beautiful lagoon, which is also home to a couple of flamingos.

Pali Aike Tierwelt im Nationalpark

Like almost everywhere in Patagonia guanacos are ubiquitous and running on the run from the car either along the roadside or browse if you are traveling on foot peacefully in front of him.

Very well camouflaged, these lizards who like to hide under del lava and are difficult to photograph.

The park is also frequently encountered is the Camacho or Caracara, a very graceful Greifvoglel.

On the way back we stopped briefly in a ghost town where a disused ship, the first steamboat of the region is stored on the beach.

Even though this is a geologically interesting park is, compared to other volcanoes which I visited during my trip around the world that are in the Pali Aike Parque Nacional very little spectacular and the long drive through the region of Magallanes probably not worth it.
