Some help in route planning
Hi Pedro:
Here are a blog from a guy that made the “Carretera Austral” some years ago… I think it will help you to get some ideas and to encourage you to do the trip.
El Cantar de la Lluvia: Carretera Austral Parte 1: Introducción y Parque Conguillio
I suppose you speak Spanish, so I pasted the Spanish version.
My girlfriend and I want to go there next summer, maybe in November or December or January, I’m not sure yet.
You can get some others ideas of Chile in mi blog:
Voy y Vuelvo en Moto
suerte!
PD: may be we can go together to the “Carretera Austral”, but I will have only 3 weeks.

Hey Pedro,
i have gone in march this year from Ushuaia to the end of ruta 40 and back to Valparaiso on the chile side.
I had driven with a garmin gps and have had 2 cards on my garmin 60 csx:
Mapear project garmin maps Argentina,Chile Uruguay V7.5+ V8.0 mapsource 14-5-09
and:
GPS de Argentina y del ConoSur
they are both for free and very good maps.
the best peace of the ruta 40 for me, was nearly "my end" from Cafayate to Cachci and on to the corner to the 51. Most of the time gravelled road and two passes (gravelled) with 4800 m and 4600 m - fantastic. one of my absolutely favorite spots on the ruta 40 was the Parque Nacional Los Alerces - just a dream!
Have lots of fun
Blitz

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
