Road Travel
We try and keep road travel to a minimum but also make
sure that the road trips we do are enjoyable and comfortable. Depending
on the number of clients in a group we will use different minibuses
or vans, all with comfortable, reclining seats and good visibility.
Journeys on the Southern Highway (Carretera Austral) are typically made
with an accompanying pick-up truck which hauls gear and provides some
extra seating if required. All drivers are experienced on these roads
and appropriately licensed. Our vehicles are excellently maintained
and equipped.
Driving times are never longer than 3 hours at a time and as there are
endless opportunities for photo stops and dramatic rest breaks we seldom
get more than an hour or so before we pull over for another round of
photography or introductions. The reality of road travel here is that
punctures, mud, snow and fallen trees do alter plans so we always try
to cater for those eventualities and when they do happen treat them
as opportunities to see a little more of an area or get some unique
photos like horses hauling the Land Rover through the river for example!
