Well,dear friend, Carretera Austral is a remoted exotic place. It lies in the southern hemisphere and if you insist I am going to be more specific: it is in the Chilean Patagonia. It is build to a high altitude, in the Andes, and offers some unique landscapes.

Carretera Austral is 1200 km long, and mostly unpaved still today, 30 years after the beginning of its construction by the former Chilean dictator Pinochet. To make yourself an idea about the dimensions of this stone desert imagine one simple thing: Carretera Austral facilitates civilization access for 100 000 people! Maybe this makes it finally provocative to you!
