This is as far south as we will be driving on the Chilean mainland - the first ferry on the Carretera Austral. After this it becomes a mostly dirt road with a few campsites and a lot more ferries. Alternatively you have to cross over the Andes into Argentina to find roads going south, and it would have been at least another 10 days of driving to loop further south into Patagonia proper, and it would have just been too much to fit in before heading back to Santiago and Rapa Nui.
We may technically get slightly further south on Thursday when we head over to Isla Chiloe on the ferry to see the penguins with Kevin, and it's possible we could still fly down to Southern Argentina after Kevin goes back and we have sold the car at Iguazu, but this is the end of the main road south.
