Guayacan

A slightly less tourist destination, but very relevant to the history of the bay and the region is Guayacán, an old neighborhood south of the peninsula that in 2005 was declared a Typical Zone for its particular architecture and urban landmarks full of history.

Caleta Condor

One beach area that you don't want to miss in the south of Chile is the protected area of Mapu Lahual. Located just 60km from the regional city of Osorno lies Mansa Bay and a number of smaller bays and coves with beautiful blue waters and white sand. The most isolated - but possibly most beautiful - of these is Caleta Condor, a bone-white sandy beach that lies in the indigenous Huilliche Reserve, surrounded by forests.

Pichilemu

Surf paradise at the end of the world. Your board and rubber suit will be the best company to enjoy its epic waves of almost 9 meters high and adrenaline water pipes that are a delight for athletes from around the world.

Featured

Cochrane, Patagonia National Park

Cochrane is a Chilean town in the Patagonia Aisén Region. The 2002 census gives its population as 2,867. It had no access by road access to the rest of Chile until 1988 when the Carretera Austral was opened. Cochrane is still the southernmost town along the Austral highway, with only a few villages south of it. We did not pass through Cochrane, but passed close to it, as our route from Argentina dropped us down onto the Carretera Austral just north of the town.

Caburgua Lake

Caburgua's eyes are two natural blue water pools with waterfalls that exceed 15 meters high. It is one of the most tourist places in the Araucanía Region and stands out for its natural beauty.

Desert Hand

This remarkable sculpture by Mario Irarrázabal is located in the Atacama Desert, next to the Pan-American Highway, 75 kilometers south of the city of Antofagasta. It was inaugurated on March 28, 1992 and consists of an eleven-meter reinforced concrete sculpture, which represents a left hand.

Atacama Giant

Illustrated on a Chilean hillside known as Cerro Unitas and surrounded by thousands of smaller geoglyphs, the Atacama Giant, a massive image of a deity used to calculate the movements of the moon, stands as one of the largest geoglyphs ever discovered.

Featured

Frutillar

Puerto Varas and Frutillar are in fact located at the feet of two of the most active volcanos in South America. The last eruption in the area happened in April 2015 when Calbuco sent a huge column of ashes in the atmosphere without much warning.

Featured

General Carrera Lake

The General Carrera Lake or "Chelenko" as the Tehuelches called it, whose meaning is "Lake of the Tempests", recognized as the largest in Chile and second in South America with an area of 978.12 km 2.

Featured

Temuco

Temuco is located 670 kilometers south of Santiago, the capital of Chile. It has about 300,000 inhabitants. Its name in Mapuche language (mapudungun) means "temu water". Temu is a medicinal plant used by the Mapuche natives for their diseases.

Featured

Villa OHiggins

Right at the end of the Carretera Austral is one of the remotest towns in Chile. Surrounded by mountains on one side and a vast lake on the other, Villa O`Higgins' isolation has made its residents warm, welcoming and friendly to all those who arrive here, and you can spend days taking advantage of the beautiful untouched scenery. Base yourself here for day hikes, boat trips and even overflights of the southern ice field.
