Photograph the Km 0 marker and signpost framed against the Gulf of Ancud and the distant island-studded horizon—a symbolic start to the Carretera Austral. Best at golden hour (sunrise or sunset) for warm side lighting and reflections on wet pavement. Easily accessible from Puerto Montt with roadside parking; brief walk from Avenida. No entry fee. Weekdays and early mornings minimize tourists. Expect cool, changeable weather—bring wind protection and rain covers.
