Route Y-85 is a road located in the Magallanes Region in southern Chile, specifically in the south-central part of the Isla Grande of Tierra del Fuego, the largest island of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, at the southern tip of South America. The northern stretch runs through arid steppe plains covered with coirón grass, while to the south the terrain becomes mountainous and covered with dense Magellanic forests. The southern section of this road, known as the Vicuña–Yendegaia penetration path, is currently under construction and aims to reach Yendegaia Bay on the Beagle Channel.
