Cerro Castillo is a border crossing point in Patagonia, between Argentina and Chile, on the road between Calafate on the Argentine side and Torres del Paine national park on the Chile side.

My suggestion

Check the opening and closing hours of the border crossing which vary according to the season. It's not open 24/7 and it would be a pity to have to go backwards!

My suggestion

Once you get to Villa Cerro Castillo you have two options: continue south on the Carretera Austral or go to Puerto General Ibáñez to cross Lake General Carerra and carry on in Argentina.
