Best Experiences in El Calafate

Journey through southern Chile’s Carretera Austral on a breathtaking honeymoon adventure. Prepare yourself for this remote highway’s curves and edges that carve through more than 770 miles of pristine Patagonian wilderness.

Through remote villages once cut off from the rest of the country, past glaciers and volcanoes, deepwater lakes, fjords and rivers, the Carretera Austral displays a full array of natural forces that left their mark on the region. As driving becomes impossible at night, travelers overnight in cozy mountain lodges dotted along the Carretera Austral that range from luxury boutiques to traditional bare bones rustic, but all of which are understated in their magnificence.

On the ultimate honeymoon road trip, wild-swim in pristine mountain rivers, picnic on electric-blue deepwater lakes, hike active volcanoes, raft white-water rapids, cast a line in remote creeks and ice-trek on glistening glaciers in the southern wilderness.

The Carretera Austral can take you many places; starting at its northern tip which touches Los Lagos and making way down through the region of Aysen to finally reach O’Higgins, the options are overwhelming and the ideal trip begins at 5 nights but is recommended to start at 8 nights.
