Rio Baker

Rio Baker flows along the edge of the snow-covered mountains of the Northern Patagonia Icefields near Green Baker Lodge on the Carretera Austral, Patagonia, Chile. Rio Baker is the largest river in Chile and one of the largest free flowing undammed rivers in the world. In 2014, environmentalists won a long, acrimonious fight to prevent the building of 5 dams on it and its tributaries. It has a characteristic turquoise-green colour due to its glacial origins and is popular with kayakers and fly fishermen.

The mountains of Parque Nacional Laguna San Rafael on the horizon are reflected in the lake, Aysen, Patagonia.  This is a ranching area, well known for fly fishing and water sports.

    A beautiful landscape and capture. I can almost smell the crisp fresh air and hear the water rippling as it flows over the rocks. Looks so peaceful.
