Our route through Chile can be divided into three stages.
In the first stage we visited Punta Arenas, Puerto Natales and the spectacular park of the Torres del Paine.
In the second we dared to drive almost all of the famous Ruta 7 or Carretera Austral.
And in the third we crossed the X region, which was full of lakes, rivers and volcanoes until arriving at Santiago, the capital of this country.
A few days ago we arrived in El Calafate with several mechanical problems and went to a workshop recommended by some traveling friends. When we arrive, the first to greet us was a black puppy with a white spot on the chest, beautiful and very demanding of affection.
Once past El Bolsón we faced one of the longest stages with nothing to visit, and when I say nothing I mean NOTHING, (except Guanacos of course, of these there are many!) From there to El Chaltén (1260km) we found only 3 small villages, Tecka , Río Mayo and Tres Lagos, at least wet could refill fuel…
A couple of days ago we arrive to Piedra del Águila with three backpackers that we brought from Neuquén till here, Conni, Diego and Jona. Really nice to meet you, we wish you all the best!
We stop in the YPF petrol station and we immediately saw a brown Steyr Pinzgauer really well prepared as an expedition vehicle, which looks awesome!
Brazil is green, and it’s rainy. We did a short visit to this country and these 2 adjectives describe very well what we have seen.
Uruguay was not in our initial route but we are lucky that we change it because we liked a lot the coast of that country.
In Montevideo we didn’t make any tourism, we were just running from a place to another organizing the paperwork needed to pick up cactus.
