Restday in Puyuhuapi

So now we are on the carreterra austral and we are amazed how beautiful it is. Feels like the mountains and valleys of the European alps. We had one day on paved road from Chaitèn to Puerto Cardenas and in was a smooth ride. We had company with one american biker aswell and stayed in a very nice but expensive campground in Puerto Cardenas. It was worth the money though because we could go inside and snuggle up next to a fireplace wich was very nice when it was a bit rainy.

The next day we continued towards La Junta but it would be to far for us to get there in one day so we prepared to wildcamp. The first 30km was hard on very bad gravelroad and ups and downs. But after Villa Santa Lucia where we got some food the gravel got better and we could start to enjoy the beautiful views. It was cloudy and we got some drops of rain but it was ok. After some searching we saw a nice spot next to a river to camp and we saw a house nearby so we asked the guy there if we could camp and it was no problem. The evening was so nice and we felt asleep fast after 63km on gravel road. When we woke up the next morning it was the best view ever over the river and mountains.

We started biking late, around 10am so we didn't know how far we would come that day. We wanted atleast come to la Junta wich was a bit bigger town (nothing is big around here). Everthing was closed though because it was sunday so we continued biking. The day was beautiful eventhough we got some rain but just very very short showers and we enjoyed the ride. When we stopped for lunch close to a river marco got naked and did a fast shower. The day was long and the last 10km we where tired but close to 7pm we approched Puyuhuapi. A cute and nice little town with mountains all around and a bay where the ocean comes in. We found a nice campsite and had pasta and talked with two dutchpeople with their camper. We where very happy and tired after 77km on gravel road so we celebrated with some beer and had a good night sleep.

Today is restday and the sun is shining. We found a small libary with free internet, yeah!!!

Tomorrow we continue soth but it is getting long distance between the towns so tomorrow we have to wildcamp until we get to the next campsite. We are biking towards Villa Amengual.

We are happy and really really love it here in Patagonia. The people are friendly and the nature is amazing!
