Overlanding for the first time (Patagonia, Chile's Carretera Austral) - EP 96

An enormous Hilux, the southernmost road in Chile, a family reuniting, paradise campspots and river crossings! Will we manage to convert new people to overlanding?

Come on-board this week as we drive down the famous Carretera Austral. From Chilean town Puerto Montt to some of the southernmost settlements connected by road to Chile, we have Nicolas’ family with us discovering what the everyday overlanding in south America is made off!

What a gift to be reunited with family! and it is not over. Next week we all go to Argentinia to discover the heart of Patagonia, make sure you subscribe to the channel for this!

Until next week, take care!

The landscapes are so beautiful. I wanted to smell the lupines so much! How wonderful Nick's mom and brother are overlanding with you! What fun that must be to go together! The drone shots were so good!

I can see where Nick gets his adventurous spirit. Those marble formations were striking. How cool that your mom and brother are joining you on your epic trip.

I like the statement made by your brother, Nick, that he prefers to ride a bicycle than in a car, l have been following his ethos for most of my life 😊

Wow Pantagonia is breathtakingly beautiful ❤

[Joni.b.]

What a treat to be able to overland through Patagonia with your mother and brother, Nick, and, as the mother of an adult son myself, what a treat in particular for your mother to be able to do this with her sons! Absolutely gorgeous country (and loved the national park music.😊)

[forestshomer]

Love the lupines...The yellow lupine is probably an introduced species from much further north, that hitchhiked on muddy vehicle tires during or since the construction of the Carretera. The Scotch broom plague you encountered earlier, was also distributed in the same way, displacing the native vegetation and altering the balance in the landscape of native plants that the guanaco feed on.
These 'trade-offs' happen unconsciously and leave muddy footprints on the environment for endless time to come.

Still one of my favourite YouTube channels to follow! So amazing to see your mom, and your brother, fit in so seamlessly!!!! Kudos to your mom! And the colour of the lakes were breathtaking!

So glad to see that you decided to take Paso Roballos instead of the bigger border crossing in Chile Chico. I‘m sure you will love the remote adventure! Brings back great memories from our own trip in February 2023 🤩 I‘m really excited to see your next adventures!
