Carretera Austral South Trips & Tours

The bottom half of the famous Carretera Austral highway meanders across one of Patagonia’s most varied landscapes and, at every turn, there’s another vista vying for your attention be it a classic mountain and glacier-studded snowscape, deep blue lakes, rainforest or brooding steppe. Add to that the sparkle of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field – and the ever-encroaching tip of its northern counterpart – and all the elements for a sublime, end-of-the-world escape are in attendance. It’s this variety that allows for world-class outdoor activities, including ice hiking and horseback riding, kayaking through the Marble Caves, and boating and fly-fishing amid the fjords and lagoons. Up the ante with a day of white water rafting or venture out to sea to catch a glimpse of dolphins, marine otters and sea lions.
