Chiloe Island (some days with guide)

The Emerald Archipelago features over 40 islands and has repeatedly been featured as one of Lonely Planet’s and National Geographics most interesting places to visit.  From 16 UNESCO World Heritage Site to penguin colonies, dolphins, coastal hikes and uninhabited beaches and fishing villages the island is like a step back in time where Mother Nature is ever present in human endeavors.  

Suggested time: 3-4 nights min

Torres del Paine (with how-to maps)

South America’s most majestic park and one that consistently comes in as the “must visit” place to experience the wonder of Patagonia.  Normally visited on all-inclusive group tours, this self-drive option allows you to have the freedom and flexibility to explore on your own- with an itinerary catered to your interests- from doing some of the iconic hikes, photography options, lookouts and wildlife viewing.  (This option is not only about freedom- but also a more economical way to visit an expensive “out there” place)

Suggested time: 4-6 nights

Patagonia – Chiloe Loop
(Fjords, Islands & much More)

This route offers one-of-a-kind variety as it starts in Chile’s modern, German settled Lake District and then enters the awesome nature of the Patagonian Fjords (Pumalin National Park) and crosses to the charming beauty of Chiloé Island.   Austral Adventures has explored for the past 25 years in these areas and based on this experience we can help you experience its diversity and beauty as well.

Suggested time: 7-9 nights 

This region of majestic glacier topped volcanoes with prehistoric monkey puzzle (Araucaria) trees, hot springs and lakes is home to the ancient world of the Mapuche- the only native group in the world that successfully defended themselves from European conquest for 300 years.   With a local guide you’ll be able to meet an learn from Mapuche communities by visiting local homes where traditional gardens, crafts and foods are made.  The stunning beauty of the region also offers hikes in stunning 1000 yr old forests and hot springs galore.

San Pedro de Atacama (All-inclusive or “on a shoe string”)
