Overview
Queulat National Park is a remote Patagonian wilderness where hanging glaciers cascade into temperate rainforest and deep fjords cut through coastal mountains. The park's signature sight is the Ventisquero Colgante (Hanging Glacier), a dramatic mass of ice that appears to float above the valley floor.
