The Carretera Austral is an unpaved road stretching south from Puerto Montt to Caleta Yungay. It's possible to travel this road by car, but be careful while driving because the road is often narrow. The Carretera Austral will take you through Chile's small villages, lush rainforests, staggering mountain peaks, and past countless cascading waterfalls. This road trip shows the less travelled sights of Chile and displays many of the country's hidden gems.
