Remote wooden cabins in Chile's wildest region, where turquoise rivers flow from hanging glaciers, the Marble Caves glow blue, and the world's most spectacular road ends at the edge of the ice fields.
The Aysén Region is Patagonia at its most untamed. Here, the Carretera Austral - 770 miles of mostly unpaved road - winds between fjords, glaciers, and temperate rainforest, ending at the doorstep of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, the world's third largest after Antarctica and Greenland.
Scattered along this legendary route are simple but comfortable cabins, often family-run, perched on the shores of impossibly blue lakes or beside rivers running milky with glacial flour. From here you can kayak to the Marble Caves - surreal rock cathedrals sculpted by centuries of waves - or hike to the Ventisquero Colgante, a hanging glacier that seems to defy gravity.
This is adventure travel distilled: fly-fishing for trout in pristine rivers, rafting the Baker - Chile's most powerful river - or simply sitting on your cabin deck watching condors ride thermals above peaks that few have ever climbed. The remoteness is real. Some cabins are only accessible by boat. But that's precisely the point.
