Travel Module Carretera Austral
Dense forests, fjord landscapes and magical seclusion – experience the legendary Carretera Austral Road in northern Patagonia.
Overview
Puerto Montt is the starting point of your journey by rental car along the unique Carretera Austral road. On your ride to Hornopirén you pass through
dense forests with Alerce trees up to 3.600 years old. At Chaitén you can hike through the unspoilt landscape of the Pumalin Park or ascend the active
Chaitén Volcano. The pretty border town of Futaleufú with its clear rivers and lakes attracts water activists and anglers from all over the world. On
the fjord shore near the pleasant Puyuhuapi you can visit the local hot thermal baths or explore the Queulat National Park and marvel at the spectacular
hanging glacier of Ventisquero Colgante. In Coyhaique you enjoy the benefits of urban life after days spent in the secluded nature of the Carretera Austral. From here you may visit the
turquoise colored Lago General Carrera. On the bi-national, seemingly endless lake, you can cruise to the impressive Capillas de Mármol and explore the eroded
marble rock formations.
