The Austral Garden Route was created by a group of friends who live along the Carretera Austral, the only highway in Chilean Patagonia, in order to offer a new interactive experience for tourists by opening up farms and gardens to people who love nature and the beautiful surroundings of Patagonia and wish to have an encounter with the people of the region.

 

Some of us are were born and grew up in this region. We are the descendants of pioneers, many of whom are still alive, who came here on horse back sixty years ago to carve a life out of the wilderness. Some of us came from outside and chose this place to live.

 

All of us love living here for many reasons. Fresh, sweet, water. Clean air. Vast forests, numerous lakes, rivers, waterfalls and glaciers. We are close to Andes yet we are close to Pacific ocean. This natural environment gave us abundance.

 

We plant trees, grow food, protect forests, preserve traditional ways of living, consume local produce, recycle, reuse, reduce. We love everything we do to preserve our beautiful environment, and we would like to share a piece of our life with you.

​

Come visit us. Experience, explore, discover, learn and bring back home the unforgettable gifts of your time spent in our beautiful part of the world.
