This hike follows the Avillas river upstream to a suspension bridge and returns on the other side. There are pretty steep inclines on this trail and the narrow trail follows a couple of ledges on very steep hills, so definitely not for people with fear of heights. This route can also be extended into a point-to-point but continuing north to the Jeinemeni Trail.Show more

This follows the road up to the viewpoint. The road is not passable without a high clearance vehicle. You won't need 4x4 though, at least not for the first 3km. If you have a regular car, park at the campsite and hike up. The view at the end is incredible. Please note that Patagonia Park is only open October - April annually.Show more
