         		 In the morning, we all piled in the truck with dogs and fishing gear and drove down to the river. Brad and Jess taught us the basics of casting, as the dogs ran along the banks sniffing for wildlife. By mid-afternoon, Rex and I each caught our first fish. Here, Brad holds Rex’s trout. It is these spontaneous invitations that make some of the most memorable travel experiences and the best ‘short rides up the road.’: by martystano, Views[1206]
     
    After we pitched our tent outside, Jess invited us in for dinner. She poured Chilean wine while the dogs stretched out across the floor. Brad played his banjo until the sun went down. We told travel stories and laughed while waiting for the chicken to cook on the wood stove. They shared advice for hikes we would encounter on our journey further south. Before the night was over, they invited us out on the river for our first fly fishing experience. : by martystano, Views[1671]
         		 15 years ago, Brad came to Patagonia for his first season as a fly fishing guide and has been back ever since. He invited Rex and I to stay the night on their farm where he and Jess live in a simple home, one of several structures built hastily along the grid of the Rio Simpson Valley when the pioneering electrical company first arrived for construction. There is no running water inside, but it is of no importance. The running of trout in the clear crisp rivers of the Patagonia outside is what matters. The farm is quiet, except for the occasional roar of the Patagonian wind that rips across the tin roof. Luckily for us, and our tent, there was no wind that night.: by martystano, Views[941]
         		 We accepted what was supposed to be a ‘short ride up the road.’ Rex jumped in back with a woman and two dogs reluctant to move over. The driver mistook us for Argentines as I started the small talk in Spanish. Eventually, he asked where we were from. “Estados Unidos,” I replied as his jaw dropped, along with the veil of confusion and polite attempts to speak a foreign language. We laughed with our new friends Brad and Jessica as we realized we found fellow gringos so far from home.: by martystano, Views[766]
         		 I’ve learned patience in many forms while pursuing my dream to travel through Patagonia. Research, work, save money, buy plane ticket. Teach English in Chile for 6 months, live with host family, learn Spanish. Wait for best friend to accept invitation to quit everything within a month to backpack with you for the next three. And here: Hitchhike Chile’s adventurous Carretera Austral road, sometimes waiting up to 12 hours a day, in hope for a ride to the next adventure.

         		 Cattle ranching in some of the most remote regions of Chile comes with its challenges. While pastures are plentiful and grass is green for the cattle, getting to an estancia - or ranch - accessible only by water becomes increasingly difficult in winter as temperatures drop below freezing. These workers prepare the small outboard motorboat for the two hour trip navigating the fjords of Last Hope Sound (Sena Ultima Esperanza) and then the large Serrano River before arriving back at the estancia.: by ahowdy, Views[850]
     
    As the brand is applied and the hair is singed, this worried mother cow looks on with an angry stare. Unlike in many places where ranching has become mechanized, in Southern Chile cattle are typically handled using traditional methods. This includes working cattle from horseback, using dogs to move the animals, and lassoing cattle during brandings and other ranch jobs. Modern operations have lost many of these arts, instead using squeeze chutes for restraint and 4-wheelers to move herds.: by ahowdy, Views[992]
         		 Cattle are gathered and brought to the corral early in the morning before the hoar frost has melted and as the first orange rays start to illuminate the mountains. The youngest calves will be branded and older yearling steers will be separated out for sale. : by ahowdy, Views[588]

         		 Maria Quispe and Manuel Caima, close the latest twist to the chapel located in the village center of Coska, both have danced between Easter and New Year to Coska Andacollo virgin, have given wine and coca leaves to the fire that gives heat the ceremony, waiting to jump a new incarnation for the year came. After four days of unremitting contact the symbolic world that feeds the soul reasons, will return home with their friends and routine of the city life, yet again next year with a new ritual in Coska.: by claudiamachuca, Views[2026]
         		 Traveling at heart, meaning seeker and lover of life mysteries that move. I love the shapes and colors that speak through the image, and the various cultures and idiosyncrasies that bloom in every corner of the planet. With photography I immortalized my way collecting images of each place that I see, being a way of personal fulfillment but not professional so far. Since young, my interest in travel, contact with people and images has been instrumental I live with my heart and my camera immortalized. I want to contribute to the community through language expressing the image invisible aspects of life. I should win because I have the talent, spirit and the desire to learn and develop fantastic project Greenland Travel Photography Scholarship. It would be a dream come true. : by claudiamachuca, Views[959]
     
    Some empty barrels of Texaco fuel found their final spot in a handmade fence. Deserts are described usually as thousand acres of dry, harsh land where the plain stretches right to the horizon, but one thing is undeniable… people have adapted to life in the desert for many, many years. After decades without any rainfall, abandoned towns like Machuca are used to a tough kind of life and if nature is kind they will endure. : by photonomy, Views[522]
         		 About 170 abandoned nitrate mining towns are scattered all over the desert region. Machuca is occupied with silent chairs; pots filled with dehydrated plants; locked front doors; rusty kitchen utensils and a red tropical painted bird in one door… a flamingo of the “Salar de Atacama”, the largest salt flat in Chile. : by photonomy, Views[709]
         		 The mining industry flourished in the region between the 18th and 19th century but water resources were always a conflict. The extraction of gold and sodium nitrate (salt) stopped in the 20th century but today’s copper industry is ranked first place globally and it’s the most valuable industry of Chile. Workers started migrating there and Machuca prospered but when mining activity moved to the northern city of Calama, where the world’s biggest copper mine is located (“Chuquicamata”), and salt extraction became outlawed when Atacama was declared World’s Patrimony, Machuca became desolate. : by photonomy, Views[1207]
         		 The almost abandoned “atacameñan” town of Machuca is located 4000 meters above sea level, near the “Rio Grande” and “El Tatio Geysers”. With only 20 houses and one church it’s only visited by its past habitants in Christmas Day and for the annual party to celebrate Saint Peter. Although this human like figure appears to be the last habitant of Machuca, there still some locals that continue visiting the town along with their lamas. They’re keen on earning some money by selling handmade crafts and native food or maybe they just feel homesick so they keep on returning. : by photonomy, Views[807]
         		 With more than 1000 kilometers of scorching sand, the Atacama Desert, at the west of Los Andes mountains in Chile, is known as the driest place in the world. Sunrays sting the soil like roasting daggers while lamas and vicuñas, the “Chilean camels”, search a bit of dried grass to eat. The amount of rain per year is approximately 1-15 milimiters, there are some regions in Atacama that have never been rinsed at all because rain mostly falls at the sea. The “camanchaca”, the matinal marine fog, may be one of the few water sources for cactus, moss and lichens that grow in the area. : by photonomy, Views[1138]
