A photo update of the last few days through the Lakes Region of Chile, between Pucon and the Termas Geometricas (thermal pools) near Lican Ray. We’re now in Puerto Montt after a long stint on the Panamerican Ruta 5 highway. The scenery changed from arid land and pines to rolling yellow and green fields and forest covered hills, with views of the Andes peaks to the east. We’re here for two nights preparing for the next leg of the adventure: Patagonia via the legendary Carretera Austral! 1000km of dirt roads!

Wow ! You’ve done it again Elisa . Beautiful photos of your challenging travels, with attention to the places you pass and the people’s soul . Did you taste baked dishes from the baked mud oven? Travel safely.
Thanks, Anne! Unfortunately everything in the oven had meat in it, but I recommended my friends try the empanadas, which they thought were great.
‘Bug, your pics are great. The village foto with the snowy mountain looks like you were still in Oregon, very north woodsy USA feel to it. Then the hand lettered Spanish signs snapped me back to your reality. Beauty.
Whenever I ride around I can’t help being reminded of places I’ve been before, and I’ve definitely felt like Patagonia could be in the PNW!
wow looks super. im in santiago to buy my bike now and will follow the trail of dust left by your bikes. See you guys soon!
