unmade roads


Explanation:
the Carretera Austral is made of gravel...

The Austral Road (Carretera Austral), which begins in Puerto Montt and ends in Caleta Yungay began construction in 1979, the last stretch inaugurated in 1996. It is an ***entirely gravel road*** that makes it necessary to require the use of ferryboats along the route.

agree  Gilla Evans: agree with "unmade" without the up. More poetically it would be "off the beaten track" but that is not appropriate here.
