To Chile and the Caraterra Austral
Now just a short 10 km to the Chile crossing.

This was a more substantial operation, but again everything was done old style by hand here and using carbon copies.

Then there was another sometimes-challenging 70 km on the 41 to meet the ruta 7.

We drove along the river and had a few water crossings.

Dan for some fun headed off into a field to chase some Vicuna/Guanaco.

The 7 is a good gravel road along several lakes here to the village of Puerto Tranquillo for a total of 253 km off off road. We were super happy to find a cabin with a kitchen and 2 bedrooms for 20$ each, since we were all just too bagged to “camp”. A hotel room here in this tiny place is 95$ and the camping is a tent on a weed patch.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
