The complete Carretera Austral experience — 10 days driving Chile's Route 7 from Puerto Montt to Cochrane (or Villa O'Higgins for the adventurous), stopping at all the essential highlights. This self-guided itinerary includes vehicle rental, accommodation bookings at the best lodges along the route, and a detailed day-by-day route guide. The Carretera is best driven independently — the freedom to stop at viewpoints, trailheads, and fishing rivers without a group schedule is fundamental to the experience. Highlights include the Queulat hanging glacier, the marble cathedrals of Puerto Río Tranquilo, the Río Baker canyon, and the wilderness town of Cochrane.
