Carretera Austral North Trips & Tours

When you hear chatter about the 'Most Scenic Highway in the World', there should only be two words on your lips: road trip. This superlative title has been given to the Carretera Austral, a rugged, meandering route that spans 1,247 kilometres, and wants for nothing in the views department. The northern portion begins in Puerto Montt, winding through acres of thick forest and sprawling valleys, with ample opportunity to explore Chilean Patagonia's parks and reserves. Find yourself in the magnificent Futaleufu Reserve, famous for its iridescent river and some of the most thrilling rapids in the world, hike into Queulat National Park to see the imposing Hanging Glacier, or search for puma, red fox, pudu and soaring condors.
