1. 1
   Puerto Montt — Angelmo Fish Market The starting point of the Carretera Austral. Puerto Montt's fish market sells curanto — a traditional Chilote seafood stew. The Andes and the Reloncavi Fjord frame the journey south.
2. 2
   Parque Nacional Alerce Andino Ancient alerce trees — South America's equivalent of the giant sequoia — grow here. Some specimens are over 3,600 years old, making them among the oldest living organisms on Earth.
3. 3
   Hornopiren — Hot Springs A small town at the edge of the road where a ferry crossing is required. Natural hot springs dot the surrounding forests. Fuel and supplies are available here — stock up for the road ahead.
4. 4
   Chaiten — Volcano Town In 2008, the Chaiten volcano erupted without warning, burying the town under ash and lahars. The partially rebuilt town lives in the shadow of the steaming caldera — a reminder of Patagonia's volcanic violence.
5. 5
   Pumalin Douglas Tompkins National Park Named for the North Face and Esprit founder who bought and preserved 750,000 acres of temperate rainforest. The park's alerce groves, fjords, and volcanic peaks represent private conservation on an epic scale.
6. 6
   Futaleufu River One of the world's premier whitewater rivers — Class IV and V rapids through a turquoise canyon. The river's impossibly blue color comes from glacial rock flour. Kayakers and rafters travel from around the world.
7. 7
   La Junta A tiny crossroads town and reliable fuel stop. The Carretera here passes through dense Valdivian temperate rainforest — a biome found only in southern Chile and New Zealand.
8. 8
   Queulat National Park — Hanging Glacier The Ventisquero Colgante — a hanging glacier suspended between two rock faces — calves chunks of ice into the milky lagoon below. One of the most dramatic sights along the entire Carretera.
9. 9
   Puyuhuapi — Hot Springs Lodge A German-settled village on a remote fjord. The Termas de Puyuhuapi hot springs are accessible only by boat. German-style kuchen pastries are sold alongside Chilean empanadas.
10. 10
    Coyhaique The regional capital of Aysen — the only real city along the Carretera. A crucial resupply point for fuel, cash, and provisions. The Reserva Nacional Coyhaique offers easy trails through lenga beech forest.
11. 11
    Cerro Castillo — Basalt Castle A fortress of basalt spires resembling a medieval castle. The trek to the base of Cerro Castillo reveals a turquoise glacial lake at the foot of the basalt towers.
12. 12
    Puerto Rio Tranquilo — Marble Caves Swirling blue marble caves carved by the turquoise waters of General Carrera Lake — the second-largest lake in South America. Boat tours enter the caves at water level.
13. 13
    General Carrera Lake — Southern Shore The lake straddles the Chile-Argentina border. Its extraordinary turquoise color comes from glacial sediment. The surrounding mountains are reflected in waters so clear the bottom is visible at 30 meters.
14. 14
    科克伦 — 贝克河 一座位于贝克河畔的牧场小镇,贝克河是智利水量最大的河流。碧绿的贝克河是飞钓者的天堂。这里是最后的加油点,往南的路段很长一段距离都没有服务设施。
15. 15
    卡莱塔托尔特尔 — 柏木栈道村 一座完全建在高脚桩上、由柏木栈道连接的村庄,没有街道,没有汽车。房屋紧贴陡峭的峡湾岩壁。冰川从北巴塔哥尼亚冰原崩解入峡湾。
16. 16
    奥伊金斯村 — 公路的尽头 南方公路在智利最偏远的小镇终结。再往前就是南巴塔哥尼亚冰原——地球上第三大冰体。道路在荒野的边缘戛然而止。
17. 17
    奥伊金斯湖 智利最深的湖,深达836米。奥伊金斯冰川崩解出冰山落入湖中乳蓝色的水域。从这里开始,只有船只和小径继续向南通往百内塔。
18. 18
    奇科冰川观景点 俯瞰北巴塔哥尼亚冰原的观景点——4200平方公里的冰川。奇科冰川流入卡雷拉将军湖。过去一个世纪里,冰川已经后退了数公里。
19. 19
    贝克河汇流处 贝克河和内夫河在这里汇合——一条碧绿,一条泥灰——两种颜色并排流淌数百米而不混合。令人惊叹的自然现象。
20. 20
    贝特朗港 卡雷拉将军湖出口处的一个小村庄,贝克河从这里开始向大海奔流。飞钓向导从这里出发,进入南美洲最好的鳟鱼水域之一。
