Lake connection / Update
Puerto Ibáñez ↔ Chile Chico
According to the MOP Aysén publication shared for this bulletin, the Maritime Authority cleared the vessel to sail on 31 October 2026 at 15:00. The vessel resumed service that day at 19:00, after finishing its maintenance.
This update replaces the earlier alert about the maintenance of La Tehuelche and the replacement operation by Chelenco. The earlier temporary frequencies are no longer in force.
Confirm departures, availability, boarding conditions and possible changes due to weather or operations directly with the operator. Book ahead and coordinate your timing with the road restrictions.
Check schedules and bookings ↗From the MOP Aysén and Seremi of Public Works publication of 21 October 2026 on the major works of the Plan Ruta Austral (Instagram @mopaysen) and, in addition, from the background of the “Uozi bulletin with map” conversation and two shared screenshots: a MOP Aysén publication about La Tehuelche and a notice from MOP Aysén / Capitán Prat Provincial Delegation about Confluencia–Puente Chacabuco, dated 10 August. Direct links to those publications are not available here.
The five Route 7 roadworks sectors (Queulat, Villa Ortega, Foitzick, Laguna Verde and Murta – El Belga) follow the 21 October publication, with the end announced for March 2028, except Murta – El Belga, March 2027. Maitén – Puerto Guadal keeps earlier information, with no new documentary confirmation. No application days are given unless they are backed by the available material.
