Back to dry land
2024年3月11日, チリ ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

On da boat

Long and fairly uncomfortable night. Breakfast (and all subsequent meals) is not very tasty or nutritious but we have snacks. Spend the day staring at the horizon, waterfalls and towering peaksもっと詳しく
The bike is not the only means of travel
2024年3月9日, チリ ⋅ 🌧 10 °C
Early morning to catch 7:30 bus. Still dark as we walk ourselves to the bus stop. Very bumpy 3 hour journey over the road that it took us 2 + days to ride. After crossing on the small ferry, hang outもっと詳しく
Villa O’Higgins
2024年3月8日, チリ ⋅ 🌧 8 °C
Rainy night but stayed warm and dry in our pod. Wandered around in the cold rain in the little town looking for a bike repair store as my bike took some abuse on the ripio. No luck. Did our best toもっと詳しく
We made it!
2024年3月7日, チリ ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

The final stretch
2024年3月5日, チリ ⋅ 🌧 6 °C
Day starts with a very steep and long climb. Waterfalls and rushing rivers surround us as we climb. A long descent leads to the ferry terminal at Puerto Yungay. And a 2 1/2 hour wait until the nextもっと詳しく
A return to craggy peaks
2024年3月4日, チリ ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
Cold morning gave way to a beautiful sunny day. Though the ripio was much better for the most part, the washboards and loose gravel presented challenges. Found ourselves surrounded by trees - bothもっと詳しく
Fall is in the air
2024年3月3日, チリ ⋅ 🌫 9 °C
We had a nice surprise to start our day - asphalt for 4 miles including a hill. Though the morning clouds parted, there remained a fall-like chill in the air. Continue along rivers and lakes. A longもっと詳しく

Short and sweet
2024年3月1日, チリ ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

The fun continues
2024年2月29日, チリ ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
Start with a big up that takes forever as the ripio is loose and washboard. Make it to Puerto Bertrand for lunch and then pass La Confluencia - joining of two rivers. Find a sheltered wild camp andもっと詳しく
Lakes and peaks

@&$)!? Ripio
2024年2月25日, チリ ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
Within a few minutes of leaving our campground we hit the ripio - gravel roads would be our future for over 300 miles. It was a rough start - very rocky and loose and hilly. Tough to enjoy scenery asもっと詳しく
DOWN to Rio Ibanez
2024年2月24日, チリ ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
A very chilly start to our day. The frost on the tent and icicles in the water bottles suggested we were close to 0 C. Sun makes an appearance allowing us to get moving. A very gradual and long uphillもっと詳しく
Cerro Castillo
2024年2月23日, チリ ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
Left our cozy hostel, heading south and into a cross wind. Busy road, weaving amongst brown mesas. Wind shifts to a tailwind but still chilly. Long climb into Cerro Castillo park. Stop at campgroundもっと詳しく

Our first gravel challenge
2024年2月18日, チリ ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
We were dreading today as we had been warned about how hard it was to - 2000 ft up and on unpaved road. All that was true but it wasn’t that bad. Especially as down was paved and scenery was mindもっと詳しく
