Most beautiful trip to the chilean Patagonia

The experience: Virgen Aysen - self drive tour

The progam

Welcome to the south of Chile! Here´s where your Patagonia trip starts. 

After receiving Europcar rental car from the airport Balmaceda, you will start heading south on the famous Carretera Austral.

Past the majestic Cerro Castillo mountain through the Simpson Valley, which is characterized by the eruption of the Hudson volcano in 1981, it goes further into the wilderness.

In Puerto Tranquilo, where the marble caves of Lago General Carrera are located, you keep going towards the Pacific Ocean into Exploradores Valley and the glacier park.
Accommodation in Exploradores Valley: Campo Alacalufe

In the morning after breakfast, you will enjoy a chat with the owners of Campo Alacaluf located in this area of the Chilean Patagonia. They will tell you about their experiences in the wilderness, and then you continue with a visit to the Exploradores Glacier. We continue on the Carretera Austral passing Puerto Guadal to Puerto Bertrand on the same name lake where the mightiest river, Baker River rises. Approximately 20 km further south, the two rivers Baker and Neff merge in a natural spectacle.
Accommodation in Puerto Bertrand: Hostería Puerto Bertrand

Puerto Bertrand is only 48 km from Cochrane, in the area of Patagonia, where the entrance to the Reserva Tamango is located. It is one of the few places where you can still observe the South American red deer Huemul.

After a boat trip on the crystal-clear Cochrane river, you walk through a narrow valley where you can observe almost certainly, the shy Huemules.
Accommodation in Puerto Bertrand: Hostería Puerto Bertrand

Along the Carretera Austral, you will head north to Puerto Guadal, where you will find the Fossil Mountain and an impressive waterfall. From here, it goes on the south shore of Lake General Carrera or Chelenko as the aborigines called it, to Chile Chico, the city of the sun.
Accommodation: Posada del Rio

From Chile Chico in Patagonia,  take the ferry across to Puerto Ibañez. From here you can visit the waterfalls of Rio Ibañez and the Cerro Castillo National Reserve.
Accommodation: Patagonia Bordelago

From Puerto Ibañez it goes via Cerro Castillo with great views over the “serpentines of the devil” to the airport.
