RIDING ITINERARY
DAY 1
PUERTO VARAS TO HORNOPIREN - 226km
Day one of the tour includes spending the morning prepping the bikes and having a meeting to cover the route and safety. After we are all set we will take a back road around the Reloncaví Estuary to meet up with the Carretera Austral and ride due south to the small coastal town of Hornopirén. This is a great way to ease into the splendor of Patagonia.
DAY 2
HORNOPIREN TO LAGO YELCHO - 237km
In Hornopirén we will board a ferry for a five hour trip south along the coast. We will sail through a beautiful fjord bordering the northern section of Parque Pumalín and arrive at the port of Caleta Gonzalo.

DAY 3
LAGO YELCHO TO COYHAIQUE - 360km
This day offers diverse and beautiful riding. We will ride to Puyuhuapi and into Parque Nacional Queulat—just south of town—the Queulat Hanging Glacier. The glacier sits atop a rocky cliff with waterfalls flowing down into the lake below. It’s a must-see sight and worth the stop. After this we will continue our ride through a remote and long stretch of the Carretera Austral down to the main city of Coyhaique.

COYHAIQUE TO PUERTO RIO TRANQUILO - 214km
From Coyhaique we will ride into the Reserva Nacional Cerro Castillo. This impressive rock formation will be visible off to the west, high in the mountains above the Carretera Austral.
