Crossing Stories
Real experiences, lessons, and hard-won wisdom from travelers who have crossed borders around the world.

The End of the Road
At the southern end of the Carretera Austral, the road stops at Villa O'Higgins. From there, a rugged 32km hike and ferry ride across Laguna del Desierto leads to El Chaltén — one of Patagonia’s most remote border crossings.
