Aysen Patagonia Chile
This practical app by the Chilean National Tourism Service offers spectacular images of the south of Chile, and useful GPS maps that offer all practical tips a tourist could need for lodging, food and general services.
Aysn Patagonia divides its services into four zones so that you can discover each of these incredible areas: Northern Carretera Austral, Southern Carretera Austral, Coyhaique-Aysn, and the Patagonian Fjords and Channels.
In addition to offering content in different languages, it also has a text to voice program that makes it accessible for people with reduced vision, which will make you fall even more in love with this destination where the warmth of its people offsets its cold glacier landscapes.

A true gem for extreme adventure enthusiasts. Here you can get a taste of what's waiting for you, for example, in the magical island of Rapa Nui (Easter Island), with a tour of the Moai and volcanoes in the island known as the navel of the earth.
An added bonus is that you can download your favorite content on your mobile device and enjoy it offline, to take a little bit of Chile with you wherever you go.
