  • 900km on the Carretera Austral, suddenly we’re passing multiple other tourers a day and there are campgrounds in every town full of bikes. It reminded me a bit like riding on Highway 1 on the west coast of the US, easy and beautiful riding but there were times where I was asking myself if it was worth the hype.

    The last 400km totally changed my mind, traffic dropped off and we could finally ride without being served a face full of dust every 10 minutes. The scenery got bigger, waterfalls around every corner, more great wild camps and I settled into a good headspace again, I wish the last week of riding would have gone on longer but before long we’d arrived at the end of the road in Villa O’Higgins ready for the notoriously unpredictable boat across the lake to Argentina.

    That always happens with places associated with great expectations, plus you have been through and seen some amazing landscapes, so everything is relative and up against some tough comparisons. Glad to hear you can still find beauty in different places though!

    Hope the wind wasn't too bad!

    Are you going to El Chalten through Lago del Desierto?
