The final stretch of this supremely-scenic, 1,247 km-long route reveals the enthralling topography Patagonia is known for. There are multiple parks and reserves to explore, where lakes lay like mirrors before you, iconic peaks rise towards the sky and the ice fields shimmer in the distance. Make as many pitstops as you like; kayaking, trekking, biking and scenic flights are all on the cards. Look out for Patagonia's unique wildlife including pumas, huemules and soaring condors, and end your journey at one of the most remote towns in Chile, Villa O'Higgins, where mountains rule the skyline.
It’s incredibly rewarding to spend time in an area where nature is just as it should be: undisturbed, untamed and free.
Lose your guide (for a little while, anyway) and self-drive through Patagonia Park. The 74-kilometre road is beautiful and you’ll pass guanacos, flamingos, pumas, birdlife and huemul deer. Yes, really!
The weather in this region is somewhat patience-testing and unpredictable storms and icy blasts are par for the course. Grit your teeth, take it in your stride and it will all become part of the adventure.
