Listado de cosas para llevar a la Carretera Austral
IMPRESCINDIBLES Y ESENCIALES:
Esa debería ser tu principal preocupación.
Cicloturismo por la Carretera Austral, un viaje gratificante y desafiante, ofrece paisajes increíbles y una emocionante sensación de estar en medio de la nada. Si quieres descubrir nuevos lugares, hacer senderismo, hacer kayak, pescar y conocer gente maravillosa, este es tu viaje ideal.
NUESTRA PRINCIPAL RECOMENDACIÓN:
Viaja ligero, el camino rara vez es plano o recto, ya que la topografía solo permite subir o bajar mientras se gira a la izquierda o a la derecha.
El peso puede ser una gran desventaja en terrenos montañosos y suelos de ripio. Aprende sobre el clima, ya que es muy importante, el tiempo patagónico es muy impredecible:
En primavera y otoño, las temperaturas pueden descender entre -5°C y 15°C, con abundantes lluvias y viento. En verano, se pueden esperar temperaturas que oscilan entre los 10°C y los 24°C.
Here are 8 must-haves for your self-supported adventure.
✅ Waterproof Layers: A high-quality rain jacket and waterproof pants — you’ll need them often in Patagonia’s unpredictable weather.
✅ Warm Clothing: Thermal base layers, fleece or down jacket, gloves, and a warm hat for chilly mornings.
✅ Camping Gear: Lightweight tent, sleeping bag (-5°C comfort), and sleeping pad — even if you mix cabins and campsites.
✅ Bug spray to kill the “annoying tábanos” a chilean fly if January.
✅ Personal Essentials: Quick-dry towel, biodegradable soap, toothbrush, toilet paper, sunscreen.
✅ Food & Cooking Kit: Portable stove, lighter, pot, spork, and compact meals — especially for remote stretches.
✅ Hydration & Filtration: 2–3 water bottles, plus a filter or purification tablets for rivers and lakes.
✅ Austral Bikes includes tools, spare tubes, pump, and patches — but it’s smart to know how to fix a flat.
