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.

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. After making our way down from Puerto Montt to Puyuhuapi in the last episode we are trying to hitchhike down to Coihaique to rest for a few days - as it turns out we have to deal with a lot of rain and we need several rides that day to go down south with the Bosque Encantado being one of the stops.
After a few days we continue hitchhiking and get a lift by Cesar who takes us all the way to Villa Cerro Castillo where he is in the process of building a hostel for adventurous travelers like us as this place is all about the hike to Cerro Castillo which can be done in 4 days or in one day. We chose the day hike option and got rewarded with stunning views and impressive colors.
The next stretch should take us further down to Puerto Rio Tranquilo. We got lucky again as an english couple offered to take us all the way. After our arrival in Puerto Rio Tranquilo we met up with my old friend Pato who owns a tour company (explorasur.cl) and offered to take us to the most popular sight: the marble caves of Puerto Rio Tranquilo.
This part of the trip was executed within 1week by using altogether 5 rides via hitchhiking - following I list all the places we visited & Things to do at the Carretera Austral:
- Puyuhuapi
- Queulat National Park / Parque Nacional Queulat
- Bosque Encanta
- Coyhaique / Coihaique
- Cerro Castillo / Villa Cerro Castillo
- Puerto Rio Tranquilo
- Marble Caves / Capillas de Marmol

--- About the Carretera Austral in Patagonie ---
The Road number 7 connects the most remote areas of Chile and is one of the most beautiful roads in South America. It is an alternative road to the Panamericana which is located on the argentinean side of Patagonia.
Amongst Bikers and Cyclists this route is very popular due to the beautiful landscape even though the construction of the road was not done for tourism purpose.
In the 1970s there was a border conflict between Argentina and Chile in this part of Patagonia - the territories around the lago del desierto have not been clearly defined. Therefore Pinochet decided to build a road and populate the south of chile to claim the region and strengthen the position of Chile.
Nowadays the Carretera is a mostly unpaved road and is located in 2 regions of Chile: Region Los Lagos in the northern part of the road and Region Aysen in the south.

Cavernas de Mármol - Patagonia chilena
Hoy, surcamos las Cavernas de Mármol, en Chile, mostrando la belleza de rocas antiquísimas que erosionadas por el clima y el tiempo, dejan ver su formación mineral. Su oquedad interior, permite recorrerlas y sorprenderse. Otro santuario de la naturaleza.
Capillas de Marmol - Chile, Patagonia
Sobre el Lago General Carrera se encuentran estas formaciones de mármol que fueron utilizadas como cantera hasta que en el año 1994 se las nombró Monumento Nacional. La erosión del agua moldeó extraños contornos en la piedra, creando atractivas formaciones. Se pueden visitar en lanchas que parten desde Puerto Río Tranquilo (ubicado a 223 km de Coyhaique, capital de la Región de Aysén), y desde el pequeño embarcadero de Puerto Mármol, que cuenta también con kayaks para acercarse a las formaciones.
