a journey by bike

Our 8431km cycle tour through the Andes from Lima to Ushuaia, the southernmost tip of Argentina & the world. Our bikes took us accross mountain passes to over 4900m, over the Peruvian Puna & Bolivian Salt flats. We crossed 2500km of hot desert before crossing the Andes to the volcanic lake district. We then followed the Careterra Austral to Patagonia & into an autumnal Tierra del Fuego. Our blog is a photographic journal of a very beautiful journey through an incredible continent.

Iquique & the beach

We've enjoyed our time in the waves at Iquique.

We arrived just as Chile was on it's national holiday for independence. The beach was packed, it seemed almost everyone was flying a kite.

Feeling well rested we're now desperate to get back on the road, it feels like we've been here too long!
