Carretera Austral

---

The Carretera Austral is a dirt road that extends for more than 500 miles from Chaiten to Coyhaique. The scenery is stunning and the region some of the wildest countryside I´ve ever passed through. I wish I had been able to stop and take better photos. I took most of these while the van I was riding in was moving. Magnificent Miles!

This Mitsubishi van took a beating. I felt sorry for the driver who told me he has to repair the suspension every 2 months.

Hello Coyhaique. Next stop on the trip, the might peaks of the famous Nacional Park Torres del Paine and the mystique of Tierra del Fuego and the (south)end of the world
