Villa Mañihuales
Lovely morning ride with a few hills and plenty of downhill. Incredible mountain views with Condors gliding on the air currents high above the rock walls. Will be taking a 1/2 day rest here to catch up on my school work.

Puyuhuapi
Cool start to the morning meant that packs were lighter as all of my clothing was keeping me warm.

Villa Santa Lucia
Smooth ride out of Chaiten to lunch in El Amarillo, followed by a climb over the pass to Villa Santa Lucia. Very happy with 80 km after a ferry boat overnight. Rain turned to sunshine that burned off the clouds hiding the alpine glaciers.
-
Puerto Montt
A day of final prep errands like CO2 cartridges for tire repair which I hope not to use. Ferry to Chatien departs at 11 pm.

Puerto Varas
After setting up bike it was time to eat, explore and head south with a beautiful ride to Fentrepu Refugio. A great night of rest after the long but smooth trip south from Toronto.
-
Santiago
Very happy to be on the overnight bus with my bike to Puerto Varas. The flight to Santiago went well and Turbus was a brilliant way to get downtown. Enjoyed walking through the university grounds, to the Museum of Memory and Human Rights and back. I will unbox, build and ride a short distance tomorrow…
