The natural setting of Terra Luna and all of Patagonian Chile is so strikingly beautiful and dramatic, you don't have to walk far to enjoy it. A combination of attractively-sited lodges, wonderful picnic lunches, enthusiastic interpretation and varied opportunities for nature observation created a seamless potpourri of enjoyment opportunities. Some people commented on the serenity induced by being completely beyond range of all media, email, phones and commercial services. Weather is always a dramatic force in southern Chile. High winds are typical on most days.
Dense clouds can form and dissipate at any time.
Rain or snow always seem possible, but never seem to really produce accumulations of moisture. We had to be flexible, changing plans for a boat ride and optional glacier over flight and hike due to weather, but substituting other explorations. Paula was always ready with alternative ideas. Our final day included another thrilling scenic drive along the Lago General, almost completing a circumnavigation at Chile-Chico. From here, after visiting a small museum, we took a chartered flight in a nine-passenger Beechcraft Excalibur back to Balmaceda.
