Stellar morning ride with incredible views and animal sightings; Rhea, Guanaco, Culpeo and lots of birds. No Puma yet. Ride continues this afternoon to Cochrane.

Spectacular day that took me high into the Argentinian Andes. Grinding uphills rewarded with some rolling descents. Final descent to Paso Roballos was a surprise as I had expected the pass to be the highest point. Smooth border crossing and wild camp just inside Chile.

Morning ride with some uphill but mostly stunning descents. Decided to turn left and head for Chico Chile for a noon ferry and planning for crossing back onto Chile via Paso Robales.

Villa Ortega had some nice cement roads that end in all directions. The ride to Coyhaique was beautiful in spite of a dusty last hour in what seemed like a rush hour of traffic after having virtually none. I ended my day at a campsite by the riverside with a swim.

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.

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

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.

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.
