This section is about 50 km south of Coyhaique going down into the Valle del Rio Ibáñez - you can see the river in the background.
The next settlement on the Carretera Austral would be Villa Cerro Castillo where the tarmac ends.
The section 100 km north of Coyhaique or 45 north of Mañihuales is probably the pass road over the Cordillera Queulat, which is still quite challenging to ride.
From the junction of Ruta 7 and SN 25 (to Puerto Cisnes/Piedra El Gato) the Carretera is almost completely paved now until Coyhaique. There is only a small stretch (22 km) of Ripio left, starting roughly 12 km after the Mirador Lago Las Torres.
Did you ride the Carretera Austral till the end?
