O'Higgins

Set amid the Patagonian Andes near O’Higgins Lake, Villa O’Higgins is a settlement whose character is shaped by its isolation at the southern end of the Carretera Austral. In Chile’s Aysén Region, forests, rivers and icefields define the surrounding country, while long road journeys and fast-changing weather shape everyday rhythms. O’Higgins Lake, known as Lago San Martín in Argentina, receives the O’Higgins Glacier and drains west through the Pascua River towards the Pacific. The settlement is named for Bernardo O’Higgins, a leading figure in Chile’s independence struggle.
