Aysén Region & the Carretera Austral Holidays


south & central america
Aysén Region and the Carretera Austral holidays offer some of the most spectacular and spellbinding scenery in Chile.

The Aysén Region’s natural beauty was long hidden from the outside world due to its remote wilderness location. Stretching from the Lake District down to the small town of Villa O’Higgins, this vast and rugged area of Patagonia is simply stunning.

Completed in the late 1990’s, the Carretera Austral (or Southern Highway) links over 600 miles of pristine scenery and magical landscapes. Encompassing turquoise lakes and fjords, dramatic hanging glaciers and alpine forests, one thing is for sure - the Aysén Region is destined to become one of Chile’s most visited regions.

Trailfinders offers a range of Aysén Region and the Carretera Austral holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information, often with first-hand experience. Whether you want to explore the Aysén Region and Carretera Austral on a private touring holiday, or an adventurous guided group tour – they are the perfect people to ask.
