Lago Colbún & the Andes

Travelling throughout Chile doesn’t always lead you to historically important cities, big monuments or institutions. It is stunning because of the landscape, the fantastic lakes, the mountain ranges and the possibility of switching fastly between the shore and the mountains. When you are in Santiago de Chile you can go skiing and swimming at the beach on the same day.

One of those very beautiful landscapes can be found close to Talca. The road leading to Argentina (and there named 145) takes you around the Lago Colbún which is artificially enlarged for producing electricity and receives its water from the Río Maule. You can follow this road and the river in the direction of Argentina and you’ll continuously be in the need for a place to park your car – to capture the wonderful Andes mountains in many pictures.
