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. 🤫
