Villa Santa Lucia was hit hard by a flood in December 2017. It has now returned to being an important connection centre: from here, in fact, it is possible to reach Argentina, passing through Futaleufú. At Villa Santa Lucia it is possible to find, albeit to a limited extent, spartan places to eat and sleep.
Villa Santa Lucía is a small village with a minimarket and cafe. It is the exit point from the Carretera Austral in the direction of Argentina (Futaleufú) through Route 235.
For us, coming from the south, St. Lucia is the last stage on the Carretera Austral. From here we go through the Andes across the border to Argentina towards Bariloche. It's still raining. We are still a group of cyclists who found each other on the road. So it's worth renting a cabana together.
