Lago Puelo is an easy 30-minute bus ride from El Bolson.
The day I went there were cenizas (aka ashes), but I still enjoyed relaxing on the beach for a while.
I could not see the beautiful view everyone raves about. But I did like the silhouettes of the kids playing in the lake with the mountains in the background.

Great photos. I love the dramatic backdrop out there. It looks pretty serene.

I wish I had more time to hang out there on the beach.

Is that a fog right there? If it is, then it would certainly be difficult for you to see how beautiful it is. I wish you took more pictures of it.

Unfortunately, it is ashes from the Chilean volcano. But I thought it still made a beautiful photo… just a different beauty than on a clear day

You might not have come there to see ash, and it’s still a unique experience most don’t get to have – and it still looks beautiful!

I want to see more photos! Black and white photo seems to work well there at that location =)

Thanks, Annie
I need to do more photos in black and white. I always enjoy that style of photography but often struggle to see when my own photos would be best in black and white.

The silhouettes are really gorgeous! It makes for a really dramatic photo, and the ash cloud just makes it a more unique experience.

Thanks, Emily. I’m starting to embrace the ash cloud

It looks marvelous – like a virgin, not spoiled by tourist place! And the photos are great!

I think I was a little ahead of the tourism season, and it was nice to visit a quiet, relaxing place like this.

Lovely photo, probably the cloud makes it softer.

Beautiful!
Great photo!! All elements work really well together. And those pesky volcanos…better than blowing up when we’re climbing them, ja ja.

Nice one! Can’t believe all the ash clouds lately…

This is just a couple of hours south of Bariloche, so they always get the ashes when Bariloche gets them. The difference is that in Bariloche, the ashes don’t stay up in the sky. They actually fall to the ground and are in the air you breathe.
At least in El Bolson and Lago Puelo, they stay up higher in the atmosphere.

It almost looks misty in the background. Is that the haze from the sun? Great photo!

It’s the ash cloud from that damn Chilean volcano!

Great shot – the haziness gives it a mysterious, other-wordly vibe.

It’s a beautiful place, and I think a lot of people do not bother to take the day trip to Lago Puelo. It also seemed to be a place you could stay for a while to enjoy the hiking around the lake. I passed many hostels, camping, and cabanas on my way there.

It looks so serene … makes me want to head there right now and go for a dip!

It was a bit chilly, but it didn’t seem to stop the kids from enjoying. I think I’m just a wuss about cold water

Thank you
I’ve been working on finding more interesting shots. Light can do so many thing but can often be tricky. I need to do even more experimenting.
