Chile’s Carretera Austral extends from the lush valleys and glacier-studded fjords of the Lakes region, through Puerto Aysen, Coyhaique, and Cochrane, as far as Villa O’Higgins.
One way to explore this remote corner of Patagonia is by 4×4, but be prepared for long drives along bumpy roads. The scenery in this part of Chile is always remarkable. We also arrange three to five-night Aysen expeditions by helicopter and light aircraft, guided by pilots who have been exploring the region for years.
There are opportunities to kayak with dolphins, sea lions and pelicans on the fjord-riven Pacific coastline, and to discover breathtaking flora and fauna of Patagonia Park.
Properties in Aysen tend to be cosy and comfortable, catering to a relatively small number of travellers. Opportunities for hiking, riding, climbing and fishing in near-solitude are boundless.
Unveil a realm of unparalleled natural beauty and rugged wilderness in the heart of Patagonia. This region invites adventurers and nature lovers, where the majesty of untamed landscapes meets the serene beauty of secluded paths.
