Hola, yo y mi esposa estamos planiando un viaje a chile en marzo. Yo soy nasido en chile pero criado en los estados unidos. Vamos a pasar 4 días in Santiago con familia, y de a y a Puerto Montt donde queremos arquilar una camionetta y explorar la carretera austral. Emos estado buscando en el internet donde quedarnos pero lo que encuentro esta locamente caro, so estamos explorado la idea de alquilar una casa rodante. Queremos pasar 5-6 días. El ano pasado exploramos Fruitillar, Osorno, Huilo Huilo, Termas geometricas, Puerto Montt, Chiloe, y Castro. Si tienes recomendaciones estaríamos muy agradecidos

Hi, me and my wife are planing a trip to chile in march. I was born in chile but raised in the USA. We will spending 4 days in Santiago with family and the flying to Puerto Montt where we want to rent a 4x4 truck and explore the Carretera Austral. We have done some research on the Internet but everything is crazy expensive so we have been exploring renting a motorhome. We want to spend 5-6 dais in this area. last year we explored Fruitillar, Osorno, Huilo Huilo, Geometric thermals, Puerto Montt, Chiloe, and Castro. If you have any recommendations we would be very grateful.
Thanks

Not a ton of information here, and its been 10 years since I was down there, but if you can get to chiloe and puerto montt I really enjoyed those places.

Check the trip planning section, I recall a recent post about one of the ferry's being out of order? I am hoping to do a trip down there again soon and I think having some sort of vehicle is the way to go.

JP gone on any adventures recently? :)

Hey, well we were again in Patagonia this last January (high summer) , and then (February) my wife drove with the 2 kids to Atacama desert area to visit relatives there, nothing that much exciting. We are into MTB so almost all pics are MTB related. More exercise and less fuel consumption.

Chile is wild and beautiful. The Lake District is gorgeous! Volcanoes, glaciers, ferries to Bariloche in Argentina are very popular ways to travel.

You can drive into southern Andes from Pto. Montt, then it's various ferries over the lakes. Fantastic place to visit.

Great! Until I saw these pictures, I had mostly decided not to bring my bike if I do a trip. Now you have me re-thinking the idea. Looks like some fabulous trails to ride!

Oh man, we do a LOT of MTB down here , close to Santiago we have some nice places to go (even 2 bikeparks) , down in the south (lake disctrict to Patagonia) there are LOTS of places to drop a bike and just enjoy, and in the north, in the Atacama desert, especially San Pedro de Atacama, there are huge crowds biking into the desert and into the high altitudes (if your hearth permits it).
