PAST AND FUTURE

Puerto Guadal is situated on the southwest shore of Lago Carrera, connected to Coyhaique the capital of the 11th Region, or Aysén, by the Carretera Austral, or Southern Highway, an incredibly scenic road. Puerto Guadal is also accessible from Argentina, on Rout 265 from the border crossing between Antiguos and Chile Chico.

The approximately 300 kilometers of road between Coyhaique and Puerto Guadal offers an abundance of scenic beauty — this is perhaps the most impressive stretch out of the entire 100 kilometers of the Carretera Austral, a road that many savvy travelers consider the most beautiful scenic road on the planet.
