Nature, history, and culture come together on this unforgettable journey along the Scenic Route Las Ardillas, one of Patagonia’s best-kept secrets. This route connects Villa Cerro Castillo with Puerto Ibáñez, crossing landscapes where nature reveals its most pristine beauty. Travel through an old road surrounded by native forests, lakes, crystal-clear rivers, and hidden lagoons, while enjoying impressive views of the Cerro Castillo Mountain Range. Along the way, you’ll admire Lake Tamango, the Claro and Ibáñez Rivers, and the breathtaking Ibáñez River Waterfall, natural highlights that make this journey truly special. You’ll also have the chance to see ancient rock paintings, silent witnesses of the Indigenous peoples who once inhabited these lands, and learn about the rural life that defines the heart of Aysén. The route ends in Puerto Ibáñez, where you’ll stroll along its waterfront and pier, overlooking the stunning General Carrera Lake, the largest in Chile. The entire tour is done in a comfortable and safe 4x4 vehicle, accompanied by a trilingual guide (Spanish, English, and French) who shares knowledge about the region’s history, geography, and culture. A perfect experience for travelers seeking scenic adventure, cultural connection, and natural beauty — in one of the most authentic and less-traveled routes of Chilean Patagonia.
