Visiting a variety of landscapes, with different kind of colors, along the Carretera Austral, in Chilean Patagonia, is one of the surprises that you will find during your stay in Aysen. Kayaking inside the caverns, sailing on Lagoon San Rafael, and rafting on Baker River will be a fascinating adventure. Throughout the trip, and with the giant Northern Ice Fields in the background, the color white over the top of the hills will amaze you along the Carretera Austral.
