The following maps are my new route to Futaleufu. Because of the landslide in Villa Santa Lucia, the road is blocked to the south of the small pueblo; also, it is very questionable if the road from Chaiten to Futa is open. I bought a bus ticket from Puerto Varas to Esquel. The trip takes a lot less time, about 8 hours, and is very scenic. I will spend a couple of days in Esquel before crossing the border and getting to Futa. Here are maps of the trip and where the interruption is.
The landslide was a disaster for town. About fifteen people died and about the same are missing, the town was wiped out.
