Distance and timing basis

The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.

Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.

Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.

Waypoint introductions and full write-ups

  1. 1. Queulat

    Queulat is one of the great set pieces of the Carretera Austral, a national park where a glacier hangs from a high ridge and spills a waterfall from its edge, and where the road climbs and twists through deep forest on the way to Puyuhuapi and the south. The park lies on the Pacific side of the Andes, in the rainy zone, and the nearest settlement of any size is Puerto Cisnes on the coast, with Puyuhuapi a little north on the fjord. Fuel is available in Puyuhuapi and along the main road, but not in the park.

    Recorded stop-planning note

    May refer to an earlier itinerary; verify against your selected route before riding.

    Planning note

    Queulat sits at 0 km, early in the day. Next is Coyhaique.

  2. 2. Coyhaique

    Coyhaique is the biggest town in Chile's Aysén region, and where the Carretera Austral really starts to feel like a frontier. It sits in a green valley at the meeting of two rivers, the Coyhaique and the Simpson, with steep forested ridges all around and a distinctive pentagonal main square. People here are used to long distances and bad weather, and the town has the practical feel of a place that serves the farms, fishing villages and mountain lodges strung out along the highway.
