Depart this morning to head back to the Punta Arenas Airport and fly to Puerto Montt, where you will pick up your hire car for the next two weeks! Drive less than an hour to your hotel on the shores of Lake Llanquihue.

Head out to explore the Lake District in your hire car — we recommend going to the Osorno Volcano and the Petrohué Falls and there are several interesting towns nearby.

Today, you will need to set off very early as you start your journey south along the Carretera Austral from Puerto Montt to Caleta Gonzalo. This journey involves three ferry crossings and sections of tarmac and gravel road. If you're not too tired when you arrive at Caleta Gonzalo, there are a couple of short hikes nearby that you could try.

Today you will continue south along the Carretera Austral, past Chaitén, then turn off toward the small mountain village of Futaleufú near the Argentine border.

The hotel can advise you on hiking routes in the area. You can head into the village in your car, and allow some time to relax and enjoy the spectacular views from the hotel.

Today you will retrace your steps to the Carretera Austral and continue south to your lodge near Puyuhuapi.

Today, we recommend driving to the Queulat National Park, where there is a great hike up to a viewpoint of a hanging glacier. You could also go kayaking at the lake by the hotel.

Continue your drive south through more spectacular scenery to Coyhaique, the main town in the area.

Start along the road toward Balmaceda and then rejoin the Carretera Austral which winds its way toward Lake General Carrera — the views as you approach are stunning, and you will then continue along the edge of the lake to your hotel just outside Puerto Guadal.

Enjoy activities from your lodge. Choose to visit the famous Marble Caves, take a boat onto the beautiful lake, undertake some fly-fishing on the Baker River or walk or horse ride in some untouched corners of Patagonia.

Today, you will need to drive around the lake to Puerto Marmol, where you can go by boat or kayak to the beautiful marble caves.

Continue on the Carretera Austral south to the road-free Tortel. You will have some time in the afternoon to explore the boardwalks of the town, which has only been connected to the world by road since 2000.

Complete the journey south by road and ferry to Villa O'Higgins, truly at the end of the road.

Today, you will take a shared boat trip to the Great (or O'Higgins) Glacier. Please note that this trip is subject to weather conditions.

Start the drive back north. Your destination is Estancia Chacabuco, a unique project in Patagonia National Park.

Relax or go hiking in Patagonia National Park.

Today, drive back to Balmaceda, returning the hire car in time for the flight to Santiago. You will be met and taken to your hotel. Enjoy your last evening in the bustling capital.
