Transworld, The North Face, and PowderQuest Guides Conquer Volcano Puyehue

In September 2010, Transworld Snowboarding and North Face riders, DCP, Lucas Debari, and Xavier De Le Rue travelled to Northern Patagonia, Chile to conquer Volcano Puyehue. Accompanied by PowderQuest specialty guides Shin Campos (Whistler Creek Productions) and Jorge Kozulj (Andes Cross), the crew ventured on horses, donkeys and split boards through mud, snow, rain, epic patagonian winds, and finally a window of bluebird. The results? This rad video by Joe Carlino.

Lonely Planet has included Patagonia, Chile as one of their top destination choices for travel in 2011.

"This is the great outdoors- complete with wildly fluctuating weather, massive glaciers, active volcanoes, and herds of graceful guanaco hightailing it across jaw-dropping mountain vistas."

We have spent over a decade in Chile, and there is always a debate on where Chile's Patagonia actually begins. Some say everything South of Puerto Montt, others debate that Patagonia extends as far north as the Bio-Bio (as in the above picture). What have you heard?
