Todo sur

After thousands of miles and a year of travel I’ve reached the southern tip of South America and the end of ruta 3. Tierra del Fuego, Argentina

A stormy Torres del Paine

A fierce storm brewing behind the massif that resulted in yours truly getting pummeled by ice from all directions. The Torres is one of my favorite national parks in Latin America. Hiking the “W” Trail is worth the extra time.

Splash!

the still expanding Perito Moreno glacier, it’s quite a sight to witness a massive chunk of ice fracture off and fall into the ocean. Perito Moreno, Argentina

Carretera Austral

Cold and wet on the Austral in southern Chile. Near La Junta, Chile

El Maestro

Thousands of miles of punishing Andean off-road riding through Peru and Bolivia have left the SE’s forks in a state of severe disrepair. I’m very fortunate to meet this gentleman and proprietor of Ajar Suspension in Mendoza. A true artisan, thank you, Juan!

Laguna Verde

Quite possibly my favorite place on earth. Laguna Verde, Parque Avaroa, Potosi, Bolivia

Leaving the Altiplano

After months of climbing some of the highest peaks in the Americas and being in a permanent state of asphyxia I’m exiting southern Bolivia and descending some 8,000 feet to the Atacama desert in Chile. Bolivia/Chile Frontera

Laguna Colorado

Traveling in southern Bolivia during the rainy season means lots of rain and river crossings.

San Vicente

This little guy seeks a reprieve from the sun in the small mining town where Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were allegedly gunned down. I have enormous respect for the people who live atop this 15,000 ft peak. San Vicente, Bolivia

The lost city

It takes some effort to get here today so it’s not surprising the Spanish never found this Incan city. I try to imagine what the journey must have been like for the handful of people who stumbled across this magnificent place. Machu Picchu, Peru
