The Region in Detail

Your comprehensive travel guide for camping Aysén.

North vs. South: Your Aysén

Aysén can be roughly divided into two zones. In the north, the Baker River and General Carrera Lake beckon with turquoise waters and opportunities for rafting and kayaking. The south is characterized by fjords, glaciers, and the mystical Carretera Austral. 🧭 Plan your route based on your focus!

Mobility in Aysén

The Carretera Austral is legendary. Many sections are gravel roads. Consider leaving your motorhome at a campsite for a few days and exploring the region with smaller vehicles or buses. Some highlights are only accessible by boat. Note: Tolls apply on some roads!

Psst! The hidden Lago Atravesado

Off the beaten track, hidden in the hinterland, lies Lago Atravesado. The hike there is challenging, but the view of the lake and the surrounding mountains is breathtaking. A real insider tip for those looking for something special. 🤫
