Carretera Austral

The Carretera Austral is an adventure of superlatives. This legendary road stretches over 1,240 kilometers through Chilean Patagonia – a region so wild and untouched that you feel like a real explorer. From Puerto Montt, you start your journey into the deep south of Chile. The road, mostly unpaved, snakes through dense rainforests, past roaring waterfalls, and along turquoise glacier lakes. Small ferries take you across fjords, while snow-capped volcanoes tower over the horizon. The special thing about this route: You are often alone for hours, surrounded only by overwhelming nature. In Futaleufú, world-class white water rafting awaits you, while Coyhaique serves as a charming supply point. The final in Villa O'Higgins is unforgettable – at the end of the world, where only glaciers and ice rule.
