Almost there
We headed out of the mountains down some steep stretches. And suddenly we were on the great paved road thru lush valleys.

We did however drive thru a Chinchilla sanctuary. It’s not to often you see a sign saying slow down for chinchillas. No cars means no towns, or crappy towns with by the hours motels, so we opted to head back to the Pan Americana at Los Vilos at 310 km to find a place to sleep. |
Cool stuff guys!!!

TMK
Hey you guys thanks. Finally made it 5500 km from Quito to just under 150 km to Santiago in 20 days. Not that impressive actually I guess since the record from Prudhoe Bay to Ushuaia is 21 days. We will be in Vina del Mar for Christmas if your lonely. Also considering the Dakar with Trevor Jan 5. It is a 2000 km detour, but whose counting.
Just got a tip from Nomadic one Route 40 info. [url=http://www.ruta40.gov.ar] |
Limache
Now we were very close to our goal of Santiago with a day to kill. We opted to stay a night in Limache about 130 km from the city. We toured along the coast and found out where all the rich Chileans live in style.

Sarah and Daniel,,,,,,,great pics.....Antonio and I arrived in Santiago on the 9th.
We purchased 2 Chinese Euromots and should have all papers in order by Wednesday. We are holed up in a nice smaller Hotel called Piso 3 at 027 Luis Thayer Ojeda..District of Providencia. It is not far from the tallest building in Santiago in the upscale area of the City.

Moto 1 year on the road overhaul in Santago
After another all night flight we arrived in Santiago at 715 am and we took a taxi to drop off our Christmas gifts from Santa (our parts ordered and shipped to Miami) to Ruben at Johnny Motos and then another taxi ride to BMW to get the bikes. We finally arrived back tired at the Johnny Motos shop at 1030.

Vina del Mar and Valapriso
Now to race to the coast on Christmas Eve before dark and more important before the liquor store closes. We did have to settle for empanadas, a bag of chips, and a coke from the corner store for Dinner, but at least the botteleria was open for some wine.

New tires after 26,000 km
Now it’s time for a day trip to Santiago to get some tires for Sara’s 650. We last put tires on her bike in Huston 26,000 km ago. They do still have some life, but since we are headed to Ushuaia now is the opportune time.

Argentina Country 15

We tried 3 companies in Santiago and none would sell it to foreigners. There is 1 small shack on the way to the border that says “Seguros” or Insurance, but it did not look functional. We were not asked for ours. Others have been recently and turned away. They returned the next day with a photo shopped document, but were not asked for it. We purchased ours online from an agent in La Falda. It is 12$ per month and covers Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, and Uruguay. Next you are directed to the aduana. They want your title and Temporary import papers for Chile. The agent did all the work for us. The entry and exit stamps for us and the new temporary import permits. Unlike our 4 hours to get into Chile with the strike here we were out of Chile and into Argentina with the bikes in 45 minutes. http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3778/1...1b7a537e_c.jpg mendoza 36 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3697/1...8d0e4d93_c.jpg mendoza 37 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr Then we had some great scenery to enjoy on the way to Mendoza. http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5526/1...c2563fb4_c.jpg mendoza 16 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7314/1...db3c6c78_c.jpg mendoza 23 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3699/1...6926089d_c.jpg DSC05268 by Worldwide Ride.ca, on Flickr |
