Hello, I'd like to make a stop between Villa O'Higgins and Puerto Chacabuco. What place on the Ruta Austral do you recommend for some relaxation while also having things to do (since I'm traveling with someone, our tastes are varied)? We've considered Puerto Rio Tranquilo. Any other suggestions? I'd also like to know how easy it is to hitchhike on the Ruta Austral.

Thank you very much in advance.

También quisiera saber cómo de facil es hacer autostop en la ruta austral.

Muchas gracias de antemano.

  • Consider the distance between Chacabuco and Villa Ohiggins is 633 km, and you want to move by autostop. I suggest making more stops to rest and hike, such as Cerro Castillo, Tranquilo (the unmissable), Bertrand, Cochrane, and Tortel. CA attracts many hitchhikers, so the competence will be hard; better be pragmatic and mix autostop with buses. For the bus schedule, see https://carretera-austral.cl/buses-y-transporte-publico/. As this is the high season, try to reserve a seat the previous day, as on the spot they can be sold out
