At Lago Yehuín we ate lunch outside an abandoned At Lago Yehuín we ate lunch outside an abandoned hotel on the lake shore. There were no other people around and the day was cold. After a while three juvenile foxes and their mother emerged, drawn by the scent of our food. We watched their antics for a while, as they chased each other and played like little kids. It was very entertaining and a good distraction from the slightly depressing derelict buildings and the chill. We might have flicked them a few treats too... #fox #zorrito #zorroculpeo #tierradelfuego #lagoyehuin #patagonia

I don't think it got much above 5°C that day. #americancordillera #tierradelfuego #landoffire #lenga #bikepacking #alaskatopatagonia #alaskatoushuaia #argentina🇦🇷
And finally, Tierra del Fuego - the land of fire. And finally, Tierra del Fuego - the land of fire. We said goodbye to the South American mainland at Punta Arenas and caught a ferry across the Strait of Magellan to Porvenir, spending the last few days of our journey crossing this largely barren landscape towards Ushuaia, on the south coast. There are very few towns, but large estancias use the land to graze cattle and small fishing settlements dot the coastline. #tierradelfuego #landoffire #porvenir #straitofmagellan #alaskatopatagonia #alaskatoargentina #bikepacking #cycletouring #cycletraveller
Here's a few scenes from the road and our camps fr Here's a few scenes from the road and our camps from the two and a half day ride between Puerto Natales and Punta Arenas, in the deep south of Patagonia. It was late April and by then we were used to the daily highs of little over 10°C, the almost incessant westerlies and the showery weather. Most of the forest was lost long ago, so there's no much to slow the wind as it tears across the pampa from the sea. . . . #patagonia #puertonatales #chile #alaskatopatagonia #alaskatoushuaia #senootway #southernpatagonia #villaponsomby

It was late April and we were nearly at the end of mainland South America after a total of two years and 8 months cycling time there - just a few days left, most of which would be on Tierra del Fuego and then we'd be finished! #puertonatales #patagonia #instachile #alaskatopatagonia #alaskatoushuaia #southerncone #senoultimaesperanza
