In Patagonia, we borrowed many tracks over hundreds of kilometers, most of the site access "tourist" is not paved ... Here it's called the "Ripio" and said tracks for us, "said huge shock, dust that gets everywhere (and therefore a thorough cleaning every time), a speed between 20 and 30 mph (and a lot of time driving) and risk of puncture or other mechanical problems for the camper ... After allowing Jean-Claude and Thomas, so we prefer to avoid certain parts of the famous Ruta Quaranta and make a detour through the quiet road 3 along the Atlantic coast ... which we will visit one last time with our friends the penguins and nonpups (Monte Leon National Park). We return again and Argentina, returning to Chile a few days later (it will end up not counting our border crossings between Argentina and Chile ...)
We planned to take a boat to reach our next destination the island of Chiloé (peninsula) in Chile from a small port south lost Chile ... but this boat has been successively reserved only Chilean (!), Always full, and whose way of booking is complex enough to
European simple: it requires both book but reservation is not possible .... In short we are therefore "forced" to borrow a portion of 300 km of the Carretera Austral, a road (or rather path) whose construction began in 1976 and is still not completed and deemed difficult ... After were reassured by other travelers on the state of the road and its feasibility with our Citroen, we are launching under a beautiful sun. ... And we're not disappointed with this new route. The trail passes through the middle of the Andes, and in this region where it rains a lot, the vegetation is lush. A feeling of being in a tropical forest in the middle of the eternal snows of the Andes. Of "Lagos", glaciers, fjords, small remote villages and omnipresent sunshine during those few days ... this road will undoubtedly be a highlight of our trip.
