Puyuhuapi to Villa Amengual

If you want to visit the hanging glacier, take the signed side-road for 2.5 km to the trailhead, where there are multiple hikes (of varying difficulties) to various viewing points. For the nearest view of the glacier, take the ~3 km (one-way) hike.

Upon departing from the Carretera Austral, be prepared to pay the park entrance fee of $5,000 CLP (foreigner rate). As of January 2017, a park entrance fee is not required if you are merely navigating through the park on the Carretera Austral.

After passing the hanging glacier, the route reconnects with an inlet of the Puyuhuapi fjord. Wildlife is plentiful here: look for seals, dolphins and marine birds.

From the fjordal inlet, the route follows Río Queulat inland before tackling the  largest ascent on the entire Carretera Austral: Queulat Pass. The pass involves 21 switch-back turns and a climb of over 500 meters (in less than 10 kilometers).  Just beyond the first switch-back turn, there is a hidden waterfall which is easily accessible from the road.

From the top of the pass, it's a fast descent to the X-25 intersection, where the pavement recommences. On the way down, consider dismounting your steed and exploring Bosque Encantando (the Enchanted Forest) where there is a short hike featuring many colibríes (hummingbirds) to a glacially-fed lake. The hike costs $3,000 CLP (plus an additional $1,000 CLP to leave your bicycle at the entrance) and is not included in your park entrance fee.

Back on the Carretera Austral, continue descending to the X-25 intersection at the bottom of the hill. Take a right here to visit the small port town of Puerto Cisnes or continue straight (slight left) for Villa Amengual.
