First day of the tour and the 7 Lakes Road awaits us. Like the rest of this trip, this day will be accompanied by lakes and roads that make up the postcard images of the south. It's 190 kilometers to enjoy: keep your eyes peeled for all the landscapes that come our way. We'll arrive early in Bariloche so we can enjoy the city and its cuisine.

On this second day, we begin to venture into the deep green of southern Argentina and start to glimpse what will be the entrance to Chile's Valdivian Forest. Los Alerces National Park, past El Bolsón, will be one of the most beautiful stretches of the entire journey, and one of the few with dirt roads. Nothing beats a good Patagonian lamb dinner on Lake Rivadavia to get us started on our way to Esquel.

We're crossing into Chile! Very early in the morning, we'll leave Esquel and head to Trevelín, home to the tulip fields. After passing through customs (which is why we're leaving so early that day), we'll start driving along Chile's R-231. The jungle begins to reveal itself in all its glory, and Route 7 awaits us as we make our way to Chaitén.

All aboard!
The alarm bells ring, and as soon as we get out of bed, we have to be on our motorcycles. A day to enjoy riding, a day to rest on the ferries.
Leaving Chaitén, we will arrive at Caleta Gonzalo for our first ferry, which will take us to Pichicolo, and from there, 40 km on paved road to Caleta Puelche for our second ferry to Caleta Arena.
We will have lunch on that second ferry to save time and cover our last 64 km to arrive in Puerto Varas in the mid-afternoon.

Relaxing morning in Puerto Varas. We will spend this morning resting and strolling around Varas or Puerto Montt. It is a pleasant day for traveling, and we will take it as such. Lake Llanquihue, Rupanco, Peyehue, and Ranco will be the highlights of the afternoon, ending in Futrono at a boutique hotel reserved for the group. The green of the roads and the peace of driving without time constraints is what we seek on this day of sightseeing and lakes.

It's our last full day in Chile, and we want to make the most of it in Pucón, one of the most beautiful and touristy cities in the south of our neighboring country. We'll leave Futrono very early to arrive in time for lunch at our last Chilean destination: Pucón. Pucón is a wonderful place to walk around with the Villarrica volcano in the background, which is currently in controlled activity.

We return to Argentina via the Trómen Pass, skirting the Lanin Volcano, a postcard reminder that we are still in volcanic territory. This will be our last day on our motorcycles, a day to remember. With every kilometer, Argentine and Chilean Patagonia will make us feel the immensity and grandeur of its landscape, bringing to a close a trip that will remain in our memories forever.
