I started filming my drives some days with my GoPro, just to give people a sense of what the Carretera Austral is really like. Even though this is the main, the only road through southern Chile, most of it is unpaved, rough, challenging, but often very beautiful (the scenery, not the road!). I have close an hour of footage, and I hope to edit and compile, put together a short video of a ride on the Carretera Austral, someday. I did not film any paved sections, why? What is the fun in that? The video below is pretty typical of many of my many days on the Carretera Austral were like. This video was shot while traveling south of the Ventisquero Colgante in Parque Nacional Queulat, mostly, and while this was not the roughest section of road I traveled, it was pretty typical. Come take a ride with me, on the Carretera Austral. (Note: I had to greatly reduce file size in order to upload the video, so the image quality is not 4k, as shot.)

Looks like you are eating and drinking well and seeing some amazing parts of this world!!!! You may want to stay down there for a few more years given the current "climate" back in the US.
