Last June, my friend Daniel asked me to accompany him because he was moving to Coyhaique, a southern city in Chile.
We leave from Santiago in a 1999 Toyota Hilux 2.8 (3L diesel engine) that he recently bought and is restoring and equipping. The trip took us 3 days, traveling 1.000 km (622 miles) along the Pan-American Highway or "Ruta 5", plus 600 km (373 miles) along "Ruta 7", better known as the *Carretera Austral*, with paved sections, others not, crossing canals and lakes on a ferry, and marveled at the incredible landscapes of the south of the country: Forests, volcanoes, glaciers, rivers, lakes, rain, snow, in short...a dream.
This is a video summary of the trip and some places we visited while in Coyhaique.
Greetings to all!
