Ushuaia, located at the south end of the American continent, was the ultimate objective of my trip. The last 2000 kilometres were not always easy, nice or even interesting, but I finally reached my goal on February 4, 2016!

Day 111 to 115 – Argentina – Routa 40 and my First Steps into Patagonia
The Carretera Austral was a real challenge, but the famous Road 40, leading the Terra del Fuego in Argentina, might just well be even more difficult as it’s very isolated, but also, because some of the road portions are hit by strong winds and in very bad condition.
Day 108 to 110 – Chile – The Carretera Austral
The Carretera Austal is one the most mystical route of the planet. I suffered driving it, but it proved to be some of the nicest moments of my adventure!
Day 101 to 107 – Chile – The Gateway to Patagonia
Patagonia unofficially starts around the region of Chaiten, located 1500 km south of Santiago. It is perfect this way as this allowed me to get used again to my life on a motorcycle and restart the routine of my trip.
Day 99 and 100 – Chile – Back to South America!
I am back in Santiago. It was nice to spend time with loved ones, but I must now make an effort to get back into the dynamics of my adventure!
Day 91 to 98 – Argentina – One Last Country, Lots of Wine and a Well Deserved Pause!
After my rear suspension repair, several options were presenting themselves to me. I had the possibility of returning north to visit the places I had missed, having to go as directly as possible to Santiago (Cusco, Bolivia, northern Argentina), but my heart was just not there and going back several thousand of kilometres was not something I was enthusiastically considering.
Day 84 to 90 – Chile – Finally, I made it to Spain! Wait a minute, I’m in Chile?!
I had to cross Peru and Northern Chile fast to get my suspension fixed. I was nevertheless hit by major cultural differences and modern infrastructure.
