15-Day Southern Road Adventure

The Southern Road is not just a route, it is the journey of a lifetime. It is more than 1,200 kilometers of ripio and asphalt that cross the untamed heart of Chilean Patagonia, where nature still dictates the rules. To book this experience is to choose a setting where glaciers hang from the mountains, rivers have an electric blue that seems unrealistic and millennial forests engulf you in deep silence. From the towering Hanging Blizzard of Queulat to the endless peace of Marble Cathedrals, every mile reveals a landscape that looks like something out of a painting. The Southern Road is a limited-seat destination. Sailings to San Rafael and the best lodging in Puerto Rio Tranquilo sell out months before the season. Don’t let them tell you – get ready to cross ferries, discover hidden lakes and feel the Patagonian wind in your face.
