List of highways in Chile

The national routes of Chile are formed by the set of roads that connect a regional or provincial capital with a longitudinal or variant road to it, which are named by the President of the Republic, according to the road legislation of Chile. The characteristics that are considered to be catalogued as such are:

  • They connect cities with more than 30,000 inhabitants and that are the head of the region.
  • They are an important international corridor with neighboring countries for South American integration.
  • They connect or access ports where the ships of the State Maritime Company regularly arrive with a longitudinal route or regional heading.
  • They connect or access airports that are of regular scale of LAN Chile with the respective city.

A clear example is the Pan American Route 5, which is the main land communication route in Chile, which runs from Arica to the Chiloé archipelago, integrating the Chilean inhabitants from north to south. It also highlights the Austral highway, which extends from Puerto Montt to Villa O'Higgins, for tourism and commercial purposes.
