1,200 km of Patagonia. One road.

One compass built for the adventure.

The Carretera Austral takes you through some of the most remote and spectacular landscapes in Patagonia. And sometimes, that means no signal, long distances between towns and very little information when you need it most.

That’s why we created Austral Compass.

A digital companion developed by Austral Bikes from years of experience helping cyclists travel the Carretera Austral — from Puerto Varas all the way to Villa O’Higgins.

Patagonia doesn’t always go according to plan. Maybe today you want to ride 40 km. Tomorrow, 70.

Maybe you discover somewhere incredible and decide to stay another night.

With Austral Compass, you can plan your journey day by day and adapt your adventure as you travel.

Check distances, elevation profiles, places to stay and points of interest before deciding where your next day will take you.

Your trip. Your rhythm. Your Patagonia.
