Chilean Patagonia see + do
Patagonia is an adventurer's dream. It serves up large doses of outdoor grandeur, most of it unspoiled and unpopulated. Getting around isn't so easy, though (for advice, see the Fact Sheet). In Chilean Patagonia, if you're traveling on land, chances are you'll take the main road, the Carretera Austral—a highway in name only—which passes through innumerable parks, with chances to bike, hike, and explore. We've broken up the options by both region and activities. Go to our Argentina Patagonia guide to view See+Do options across the border.
