Yes , its called "Carretera Austral", it starts in Puerto Montt southbounds, but then have to take a 4 hour ferry and the continue driving south , its a great place to visit for nature lovers and crowds haters :elkgrin:

some pics of this road....

And now I want to go there even more! What an adventure that would be. :Wow1:

Although another story, but this review of the '11 Dakar shows mostly Chilean terrain and what you'll see in northern Chile ... worth the look : :bike_rider:

Chile is not so far!

:Wow1::Wow1::Wow1:, oh yes, looking it this way, you are 100% right.

PS: this summer vacation we drove 6.000 kmts , INSIDE Chile ... so for me looks like something feasible.

6000 km is a lot. Very well that traveling as a family.
This year we are going to Mongolia. When we return we will think about Chile. Important. Is there a ferry from Europe or Asia?
Help me with the route? Do I need to learn Spanish?:ylsmoke:

Normally what I've seen from Germans touring to Southamerica y to ship their 4x4s in a contianer from Hamrburg or Antwerpen to Buenos Aires Argentina, and from there drive around Southamerica.

With English you can survive in Southamerica , in large cities , but there are the most locations where only Spanish is spoken , so the ancient language of signs will help you out ... :bike_rider::bike_rider:

Oh, we know the ancient language of signs...:victory: The translator is not needed ...w,ll come with an open heart....
