August is (almost) over so high time for our July blog 🙂 On July the first we left Uruguay and crossed into Argentina again. For the last time though, since we were on our way to Paraguay. At the Argentinian border they did look a little suspicious at our passports … Read more

Cycling like a Dutchman

19/07/2024 by Kilian

So, there we were, just north of Concordia, the citrus capital of Argentina. This whole area is quite flat but also completely developed into agricultural land, so my first impression was that it would not be that interesting to cycle around, unless you like to stick to the main asphalt … Read more

Our first entry into Argentina was a bit earlier than planned: a ferry service on the Carretera Austral only sailed once a day which meant that we would have to wit 8 days. That was when we decided to skip that part (sorry Chile!) and to drive an alternative route … Read more

Well, this could be a very short blog. We spend the entire month of March in or around Mendoza, the end. 🙂 But I’ll elaborate a little. We spend about 7 weeks in or around Mendoza because of Finnleys eye treatment. Further down in this blog you can read if … Read more

So the first ten days of February I travelled alone as Kilian was in the Netherlands for his fathers funeral. Kilian had departed from the Bariloche airport and would also be coming back here again. So I decided to stay around Bariloche. We had been in this area before; the … Read more

Biking around Esquel

05/03/202429/02/2024 by Kilian

Esquel, a place where we stayed two times: first on our way south to Ushuaia, and then again on our way up north. It is a really nice area where you can ski in the winter, and have a really good mountain biking experience in the summer. A sign indicated … Read more

Around the Cerro Chacay – Llanquin

14/03/202415/02/2024 by Kilian

This is a very nice but not so technical loop around the Cerro Chacay. I found this suggestion by chance on i-overlander. But this trip I will always remember because I did it twice: the first one was just before I heard that time was running short for my dad, … Read more
