The Carretera Austral is a 1200km long road in the south of Chile which connects the most remote areas of the country. The ruta 7 is a paradise for adventure seekers as it is a mostly unpaved road which brings you to the lesser known parts of Patagonia in the stunning Los Lagos and Aysen Region.
Our plan was to get from Puerto Montt till Villa O’Higgins by thumb to get in touch with locals and fellow adventurers along the way. But for the first stretch from Puerto Montt to Chaiten we chose public transport as you need to take 3 ferries to cross through the Fjords. The landscape with its fjords and temperate rainforests around the national parks of pumalin and hornopiren is stunning and reminded me of scandinavia.
Chaitén, once destroyed by a volcano was our first stop. We explored the city and I was surprised how it came back to live after my last visit 3 years ago - a lot of restaurants and shops opened and tourism is increasing with tours to the nearby volcano and to the Pumalin park.
On the next day we got up early, headed out of town and started hitchhiking. After just about 20 minutes we got our first ride which took us to Villa Santa Lucia where we got stuck as there were many like minded adventurers. Shortly before we gave up we got lucky again and got a lift to La Junta where we stayed for the night.
Another day of waiting, only a few cars passed us that day until..after about 6h…a big truck pulled over and offered to take us - we climbed into the back where a party was going on with a bunch of other hitchhikers who got picked up along the way. This ride from La Junta to Puyuhuapi turned out to be one of the most memorable hitchhiking experiences I’ve ever had.
Puyhuapi was our base for 3 days as we wanted to explore the nearby paqrque nacional Queulat with its impressive hanging glacier Queulat. The park is located 20km out of Puyuhuapi. This time Sergio who is the park ranger at Queulat gave us a ride and told us more details about the famous hanging glacier. With this early arrival we were the first to hike up to the viewpoint to get the best view of the glacier - simply overwhelming!
This part of the trip was executed within 1week by using the local buses and altogether 5 rides via hitchhiking - following I list all the places we visited & Things to do along the Carretera Austral:
- Puerto Montt
- Hornopiren
- Pumalin Park
- Chaiten
- Villa Santa Lucia
- La Junta
- Puyuhuapi
- Queulat National Park / Parque Nacional Queulat
- Queulat Glacier / ventisquero queulat (colgante)
I'm excited to share all our experiences in Patagonia over the course of the next 6 weeks with you. In the next episodes we will Hitchhike the central part of the Carretera Austral, trek through the most impressive mountain ranges, ice hike over the glaciers of the southern Patagonian Icefield and meet impressive characters along the way.
The Patagonian Expedition is a 95% self funded video documentary project following my trip in 2012/2013. Our aim is to show you the beauty of the rather unknown parts in Patagonia alongside with the famous spots.
Beside beautiful landscape you can expect loads of information and our personal experiences and struggles along the way.

Beginning Our Road Trip on the Carretera Austral | Ep. 22
We start our drive from Puerto Montt, Chile and take 3 different ferries! We rented a car to begin our 31 day road trip through Patagonia. We took a small ferry at Caleta La Arena, spent our first night camping in Hornopirén, and then took 2 more ferries to arrive at our first campsite on the Carretera Austral. This was the beginning of the South America road trip of a lifetime!

Traveling is embedded into our relationship as we met on a Spring Break cruise in 2016. Since then, we haven't stopped traveling together in the United States and abroad. We left New York in July 2019 to travel the world and we took work with us, including starting a travel vlog. We have made it our mission to slow travel for 16 months throughout South America and Asia and to create travel videos along the way.
Traveling Atlas was created to capture our moments of taking risk, building connections, and seeing the world. We will be staying in each country we visit for about a month in order to experience cultures to our maximum capacity and to inspire others that they can do the same. We are Brandon and Erin, follow the journey and stay tuned.
Crossing the Andes via the lakes route - Chile to Argentia
From Puerto Montt in Southern Chile, we travel by road and 3 lake crossings to Barilochie in Argentina. A most scenic and relaxing way to cross the Andes.
The journey was part of a longer trip through Chile and Argentina in January / February 1996, and organised by Ffestiniog Travel.

The Carretera Austral is a mostly unpaved road that connects the most rural part of Patagonia in the very south of Chile. Tourism in this area is not as pronounced as it is in other parts of the country, as regular bus routes, accommodations and detailed info is hard to find.
But in this seclusion lies the attraction and a special charm. During my last trip I met very few travelers from Europe and North America. The locals welcomed me warmly and most attractions were not crowded.
After traveling this route twice via hitchhiking I thought it is about time that I put together a handy Carretera Austral guide which highlights the main sights along this 1200km long road. The video shows you my favorite places to visit from north to south, starting in Puerto Montt and finishing in Villa O’Higgins.
To do the Ruta 7 properly I recommend about 2 weeks - following I list all the places I visited & Things to do along the Carretera Austral:
- Fjords, Hornopiren, Pumalin Park, Chaiten
- Queulat National Park, Queulat Glacier, Puyuhuapi
- Rio Futaleufu, Futaleufu
- Cerro Castillo, Villa Cerro Castillo
- Marble Caves & Lago General Carrera, Puerto Rio Tranquilo
- Exploradores Glacier, Puerto Rio Tranquilo
- Rio Baker, Cochrane
- Caleta Tortel
- Villa O'Higgins
- O’Higgins Glacier

El Mochilero que viaja por amor...
The Carretera Austral (CH-7), formerly known as Carretera General Augusto Pinochet,[1][2] is the name given to Chile's Route 7. It runs for 1240 km from Puerto Montt in the north to Villa O'Higgins in the south. Some call it the road after the end of the road, because it is not officially part of the Panamerican Highway that ends on the island of Chiloe Island. Construction of the road started in the 1970s and is still going on. It passes through very beautiful and sparsely populated parts of Chile. Landscapes vary from forests and fjords to spectacular mountains, glaciers and volcanoes.

Patagonia y la Carretera Austral
Un film de DW Documentales. La Carretera Austral es un recorrido por la majestuosa naturaleza patagónica chilena, un territorio que expatriados alemanes también eligieron como su nuevo hogar. Desde los años 70 se abre paso por la intransitable geografía del norte al sur de la Patagonia. La gente, que entonces vivía aislada, de pronto se conecta a las modernas urbes, con consecuencias inciertas. Por tierra, solo se podía llegar desde Argentina. En Chile, el camino estaba bloqueado por montañas, bosques primigenios, amplios fiordos, volcanes, el hermoso Parque Pumalín y un enorme campo de hielo
La bióloga marina alemana Vreni Häussermann informa sobre una catástrofe en uno de los fiordos patagónicos. Particularmente este evento deja en evidencia con qué fuerza la expansión económica que trajo consigo la carretera afecta a la naturaleza del sur de Chile. El viaje también conduce hasta los descendientes de expatriados alemanes que encontraron un nuevo hogar en la lejana Patagonia después de la Primera Guerra Mundial. Los relatos de estas y otras personas dan una idea de la historia y el presente de esta región única.

SINOPSIS:
Andrés y Jimena recorren los 1247 kilómetros de la Carretera Austral en bicicleta. Lejos de romper récords o de ser una vuelta al mundo, demuestran que cuando se sale de viaje el verdadero desafío es mucho más grande y simple de lo que parece. Una aventura sin héroes en la Patagonia chilena.
