Taitao Peninsula
The Taitao Peninsula is a westward projection of the mainland of Chile, with which it is connected by the narrow Isthmus of Ofqui, over which the natives and early missionaries were accustomed to carry their boats between the Moraleda Channel and Gulf of Penas. It is situated in the Aisen Region and a part of this peninsula is located inside the boundaries of Laguna San Rafael National Park. The Presidente Rios Lake, with a surface area of 352 km, lies in the middle of the peninsula. A southern incurving projection of the outer shore-line of this peninsula is known as Tres Montes peninsula, the most southern point of which is a cape of the same name.
