Latin America by Bike

and we decided to cycle through. Crazy, nor? 1500km later we drink Pisco Sour in San Pedro de Atacama and write this post (well actually only the German one). We started in La Serena. From there we mostly cycled along...

Finally, my programming skills made a new page for our blog: “my plantmap”. The page represents work in progress and I hope to get the layout more convinient soon as well as to implement more planr information. The page shows...

After we got to Puerto Montt we had 6 days time to do everything, we needed to do before Moritz mum arrived. We washed our cloth, cleaned our tent, updated our blog (unfortunately only the german part) and did nothing....

Now we are sitting here in Puerto Montt, drinking beer, and try to remember all things that happened the last four weeks on the Carretera Austral. That road goes from Villa O’Higgins far in the south 1247km northwards, until Puerto...

From El Chalten, there are two options for cyclists. Either you go back to the dry east of Patagonia on the Ruta 40 or you take an adventurous border crossing between the Lago del Desierte and the Lago o’Higgins. We...

Many people go for a three day hike to the the two main sights of El Chalten. Climbers even wait weeks and months for good weather to go on a trip. We only did a day trek and enjoyed a...

Surely, we talked already a lot about the wind. But recently, it became really windy. 80km/h and more seem to be common around here. It’s christmas, become a child again Immediately after we left the best hostel on our journey,...

Eventually, the year ends. Many things happened, and we gained many new experiences. We both got a certificate with a new title and started a great journey. At the same time, the year brought a lot of right wing and...

The tent was set up, often there was not much space. As we liked Hospedaje Independencia, we decided to stay a few days and wait for Moritz’ new credit card. What we did not knew in the beginning: 48h hours...

After a rainy cycling day to Ushuaia, we heard that it would rain constantly the following week. Hence we were pleasantly surprised waking up the next day to nice sunshine. After packing our bags, we decided for not leaving the...

About two weeks ago we started cycling in the direction of Tierra del Fuego. The first kilometer were slighly more exhausting - we had had a two week rest before. Because a strike was anounced for the next day, we...

Only 200 km of cycling in the last 14 days. It is even more surprising since we only used the wheels to go to school. By doing so, we regained a small amount of practically stored energy - others would...

The Ruta Nacional 3 (RN3) goes from Buenos Aires to Tierra del Fuego. We have been on RN3 now for many, many of our cycling kilometers. The quality of the road is good to very good, even perfect, views and...

Eventually it became necessary to visit a bicycle shop, after always noticing them without entering. Some of the few remaining original parts of my bike caused some trouble - the pedals. From time to time, they did not spin as...

After learning many things about equipment and our bike, last week was our second opportunity to spent a couple of days in Buenos Aires. We planned to top up supplies and arrange things. We learned again something about our way...

Our blog becomes a blog: you can post comments now. Either you use one of these standard online communication sites to log in, or you comment as guest. Therefore, you need to enter a name which will be displayed online...

We added some new (old) Posts, where you can see our cycling tracks. You will find the places we went, where we got lost and how fast we have been pedalling. All as good as GPS works. All entries are...

Now we dealt with the first days of bad weather. After a nice 70 km ride through Uruguay, some uphill and downhill, we arrived at the place of Virginia and Magnus. Both and their kids recently moved from Scandinavia to...

It took a couple of days longer than expected, but our blog is online now. Happy reading! There are already some posts, even before this entry. Several things have happened. Until now, there is no commentary funtion, but we happily...

Surprisingly, we have a very well equipped kitchen. Of course, there is salt and pepper, but we also bring masala curry, pizza spices, cinemmon, mixed herbes, dry green pesto (never seen before, but very practical!) and arrabiata sauce mix. Until...

Argentinia is a great place to start our cycling tour. Mostly the car and truck drivers are friendly and change the lane to keep space to our bikes. Sometimes they even prefer to force one another to brake instead of...
