Tortel Footbridges

 From Silversea Chronicles: "Tortel (Chile) is a commune located in Southern Patagonia, a spectacular wilderness region of rugged mountains, glaciers, rivers and forests of infinite beauty. The uneven geography of Tortel shapes a unique landscape characterized by an archipelagic area with numerous islands and channels. Tortel is known as the 'footbridge city' for the unique beauty of its wooden walkways that connect the piers and houses of this quaint place through bridges and stairs built from cypress wood that run for four and a hlaf miles around the cove, and that respect the rich vegation that grows under them."
