Chepu Adventures Ecolodge

Chiloé Island in southern Chile has a tourist attraction that many consider surreal: a sunken forest of dead trees. In 1960, a strong earthquake caused a tsunami that flooded the valley Chepu, leaving behind hundreds of dead trees.

Today you can tour the Chepu River wetlands in a kayak. This photograph from Chepu Adventures Ecolodge shows a dawn excursion amid the the famous dead trunks.
