Sunken Forest

In 1965 there was a huge earthquake in Chile - one of the largest ever recorded - and a large amount of land sunk a couple of metres. You can see this by the trees that are growing underwater.

The whole area started to grow reeds and it became a magnet for waterbirds - so much that it is one of the RAMSAR areas (designated bird reserves of international importance) of the world. Here there are many birds, including black and white swans, black faced gulls, herons and cormorants.

It is a beautiful area.

With gardens.

And sea lions

There is also the only Oberon class submarine that is still floating used as a museum.

We then went to a concert.
