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.

Puerto Piedra – Parque Nacional Queulat
16 October 2017
We drove from Puerto Piedra along the Rio Fataleufú and the Yelcho Lake to Villa Santa Lucia. There we turned left on the famous Carretera Austral. The Carretera Austral runs about 1,240 kilometers (770 mi) from Puerto Montt to Villa O'Higgins through rural Patagonia. We did not choose for the north part of the Carretera Austral because we wanted to drive the 7 lakes tour from San Martin de los Andes to Bariloche in Argentina and we wanted to visit los Alerces National Park. We will follow the Carretera Austral till the General Carrera Lake. There we will turn to Argentina again. Going to Villa O’Higgins leads to a dead end. If you want to the end of the world you have to go via Argentina or by boat.
In La Junta we found a garage to fix our flat tire. Unfortunately the tire had too much damage. We have to buy a new one in the city of Coyhaique. We hope to reach Coyhaique tomorrow.
This part of the Carretera Austral was very nice to drive. The road was mostly paved without huge holes. Just out Puyuhuapi the road was destroyed by an avalanche. A ferry brought us 14 km further on the Carretera Austral.
It was almost dark when we reached the Queulat National Park. The Queulat National Park is well known by the Ventisquero Colgante (Hanging Glacier). Because of the expected rain for the next day we hiked to hanging glacier before dinner. We did not have time enough to come close to the glacier. However, we had an excellent view on the Ventisquero Colgante over the Laguna Tempanos.
