チリの峠・トップ6

峠の寝床は快適ではありません。アルゼンチンの国境警備隊まで下った方が良いでしょう。

Hello Life in Travel :) I am travelling with my friend next week to north of Chile and will be passing close by...we will stay on a main road basically from Arica to bolivian border. I was wondering if you could share where exactly are those colourful sand dunes located on picture 1?

Very rocky climb up to the pass and up there it is very windy. But whenever you are up on the pass you will reward yourself with an incredible view on the side of the Grey glacier.

This exceptional panorama offers you a view of the Cerro Castillo mountain, recognizable by its sharp peaks. The view also overlooks the serpentine road that faces you and leads to the valley and Villa Cerro Castillo.

You have a nice climb here that is straight for a few miles, then turns into a series of switchbacks. If the weather is good, the views of the mountains of Queulat National Park are breathtaking.

Coming from Cerro Castillo, the Carretera Austral is smooth and tarred up a few serpentines up a pass. We're coming from the south, so there's a strong headwind again. But fantastically beautiful views back.

From this panoramic point it is possible to admire Cerro Castillo and the long descent, full of hairpin bends, which leads to Villa Cerro Castillo.

This climb passes through Queulat National Park. The panorama leaves you speechless with its beauty: the climb could be tiring in cycle mode.
