Forget about the X3 if going south of Coyhaique, my next trip will be with a
non sexy Nissan Xtrail 4X4 from Gamarent. Good clearance, robust and standard wheel size.
For any tips regarding Carretera Austral you may PM me. Top places to stay are Espacio y Tiempo, Raices, Mallin Colorado Ecolodge. Lodge Borde Baker, Entre Hielos Lodge and Paso Mayer. The roads can be horrific and the Costa de Quelat is a nightmare construction site.
And yes, Patagonia will make you addicted. A good alternative to the overzealous kiwis
