Why Carretera Austral?
The Carretera Austral, or Chile’s Route 7, weaves its way through the southern Lakes and Aysen regions of Chile’s Northern Patagonia. Described as one of the world’s best road trips by National Geographic, the scenery is diverse, exotic and dramatic with sleepy villages, lofty waterfalls, dense forests, hanging glaciers, mist and snow topped mountains and a fantastic network of hiking trails all nestled among a labrynth of rivers and fjords in this almost other worldly landscape. This remote and rugged environment can be explored in a rental vehicle or we can arrange a guide and driver for company and support with daytime explorations and nights in comfortable lodges and cabins.
For a dose of luxury and pampering at the journey’s end we highly recommend a stay at the Hotel Explora located in the Patagonia National Park offering a wealth of explorations and a chance to learn about the important conservation legacies of Doug and Kris Tompkins.
