A few shots from our trip, it’s been an experience of a lifetime for sure! We took around 6 weeks to get to El Chalten, doing some hiking and maximising riding in good weather. The south of Chile is just amazing, it’s beautiful, the people are kind and life is simple. I’d turn around and do it again in a heartbeat, definitely a little sad that it’s over!
I guess my advice to anyone looking to do a similar trip is just go for it, prepare as best you can but don’t weigh yourself down trying to be ready for everything – there are so many opinions on the internet you could spend a lifetime planning and not going! And use the bike you have if possible, don’t let it be the reason you don’t go – my partner didn’t have any issues with a full carbon 1x gravel bike which we very nearly didn’t take.
Any questions hit me up!

Unbelievably beautiful. I’ll need to pedal down there one of these days
Where is picture 13 from?

This is incredible, thanks for sharing this
That’s such an amazing adventure!!! Great job guys!!! I bet it took a lot of planning and managing on the spot unforeseen circumstances!
Was there a lot of climbing? What’s the cassette ratio on your 1x bike?
