Dead Tree Valley - Kayak & Birdwatching in wetland area caused by the biggest world earthquake 1960.
The Dead Tree Valley was caused after the biggest world earthquake ever registered at the South of Chile. The terrain lowered for about 2 meters (6 feet) and a big Tsunami entered Chepu River devastating thousands of trees. Today an overwhelming view and nesting place of birds, Flora & Fauna .
Kayaking at Chepu wetlands is a great experience as you go with your kayak alone in an area full of dead trees (Valley of Dead Trees) and Sunken Forest and with high tide you can get into many small channels and this absolutely gives you the idea of being transported in time. Kayak is so quite that you can get real close to amazingly large birds standing in the dead trees and they do not fly away. I was given some tips on how to use low and high tides in my favor to help me move faster with less effort. This way you can be out in the river, wetlands and dead trees for many hours without really feeling tired.
Chepu is a small and quiet community located between a wetland area and the Pacific Ocean alongside a long, quiet river. In 1960, the biggest Tsunami ever registered hit the coast and caused a major flooding. It left sunken forests & thousands of dead trees in the middle of the valley, still flooded with water. It is a peaceful and unique landscape, nesting place of many birds, and you can realize of how nature starts all over again after a great disaster. Great variety of local fauna and flora.
