The best time to visit Coyhaique and the Carretera Austral is during spring and summer (November through March), when the weather is warmer, the roads are accessible, and you can enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, and boating. Fall (April–May) is also a good time to enjoy the colors of the forests, but some roads may begin to close due to rain. In winter, temperatures can be cold, and some roads or activities may be limited by snow.

The most common way to get to Coyhaique is by plane from Santiago or Punta Arenas to Balmaceda Airport. From there, you can take private transportation or a guided tour to explore the Carretera Austral. The road is paved in some sections, but in many areas it is unpaved and can be more challenging, so it’s recommended to travel with an experienced guide or in a 4x4 vehicle during the tour.

Tours to Coyhaique and the Carretera Austral typically include outdoor activities such as hiking in national parks, boating on lakes and rivers, fly-fishing, glacier tours, kayaking, and exploring the beautiful landscapes of the Carretera Austral. They also include stops in picturesque towns such as Puerto Río Tranquilo and Cerro Castillo, where you can enjoy the local culture and regional cuisine.

Advanced experience is not required, as most tours include moderate hiking trails suitable for people with no prior experience. However, some longer or more challenging hikes, such as those in Queulat National Park or to Cerro Castillo, may require a good level of physical fitness. Local guides usually tailor the activities to the participants’ skill levels, so there are options for all levels.

The climate in the region is cold and rainy, with significant variability, even during the summer. Temperatures typically range from 5°C to 20°C in the summer, but rain and strong winds are common. In the winter, temperatures can drop considerably, especially at higher elevations. It is important to be prepared for sudden changes in the weather, so it is recommended that you bring waterproof clothing and clothing suitable for cold weather, regardless of the season.

Yes, traveling along the Carretera Austral is generally safe, but due to the area’s geography and climate, some routes can be challenging, especially in winter or during heavy rains. It’s advisable to travel with a local guide or on an organized tour, as some sections of the road are remote and lack frequent services. In addition, it’s important to keep in mind that some sections of the route are unpaved, so a suitable vehicle is recommended, especially if you’re traveling on your own.

Book in advance, especially during the high season (November through March), as the region can get very crowded. Be prepared for unpredictable weather by packing appropriate clothing for all conditions (rain gear, thermal clothing, and hiking boots). If you’re traveling on your own, make sure your vehicle is in good condition and carry enough gas, as gas stations may be scarce in some areas. Also, keep in mind that medical services are limited in the most remote areas, so it’s advisable to bring a first-aid kit and be prepared for any eventuality.

First, select a date from the calendar on the right and choose your tour options. Click "Book," then fill out your personal and booking information. Once we receive your information, we will process your reservation by requesting payment via secure credit card transaction and send you your vouchers and final instructions.
