The Carretera Austral is a 1,200 km road that runs to the end of mainland Chile. Starting in Puerto Montt, My day started fairly well. After leaving Puerto >, I Started my adventure down the Carretera Austral. The first section is not much to mention. You get you first ferry there. 30 minutes later, I was on the next bit. Just as the ferry was coming to harbor, the rain started to come down. Construction met me on the other side. Mud, deep ruts from the trucks for the next 20 kms.

After an amazing ride through Bolivia I arrived in San Pedro Atacama, Chile. The first town across the border from Bolivia. I met up with some other riders that I have crossed paths with along the way, and we celebrated our riding by drinking beer and enjoying the town. San Pedro Atacama is a big tourist spot. You can’t throw a rock without hitting a tour company taking people to Bolivia and the other attractions around the area. We went on a star gazing tour And enjoyed the town And had some more beer My friend Kristyn was having trouble with her bike so we went to Antofagasta to find a mechanic And enjoyed the sunset After Kristyn got her bike fixed we headed back to San Pedro for one more night before heading in to Argentina to ride the famous Ruta 40. The road leading to Argentina was awesome and took you over a beautiful mountain pass I rode with Kristyn for a couple of days. When we arrived in Argentina the road turned to dirt.
