Federico Arcidiaco, sculptor in Mendoza. Federico is an incredibly special person. From wood from Mendoza, he makes the most beautiful sculptures. I photographed him in his studio. What a magical place. The madness of the art(ist) 😉 is in the air.
We drive to Lago Potrerillos on Saturday 4 January and 4 days later we are still here. It is getting better by the day. We are getting into a real rhythm. Every day I swim from one side of the lake to the other. About 800 meters. Vincent and I are
When we arrive in Mendoza, we are all a bit disappointed. It is nice to be in a house for a while. A real bed, a real toilet, a shower. A bit more space. But we don’t like the city of Mendoza much. It is also terribly hot. It turns out to be
We leave Buta Ranquil. It is the first time in Argentina that we leave a place, with a little pain in our hearts. We felt genuinely connected here. We leave for Malargüe. While driving through the mountains, the car gets hot again and Vincent
Sunday we drove away from Zapala. It was a nice trip but it was also very hot. Major Tom was hot too. Occasionally turn on the heating, windows open, so that it could cool down a bit. Along the way, Vincent removed the protective cover from the win
From San Martin de los Andes we continue via the Ruta 40 to the north. Again beautiful views and a fascinating landscape. And the road is also completely fine 👌. Also nice for a change. In Zapala we first drive to a municipal campsite. Free, beca
From Villa Traful we drive through the NP65 and the NP63 towards San Martín de los Andes. What a beautiful route. Major Tom had to work hard, but he had a great time. So many beautiful views. Another one after every curve. What a joy 😍. We
Today we crossed the border back to Argentina. Still quite exciting. But everything went smoothly. We have a new TIP. The import document for Major Tom. Then he may drive in Argentina again. We drive back into Argentina via a beautiful route over t

We drive further north on the Carretera Austral. The Rio Baker river is beautiful. We stop for a nice walk to the water and lie down in the sun. Lovely! ☀️ Just before Puerto Río Tranquilo we dive to the right. Steep down! We can stay there fo
A little before the border with Chile we come across three gauchos and a herd of cows. They are on their way to another place. The cows are driven in the desired direction by the dogs and the gauchos on horseback. We walk and ride with them for an ho
Weer een verhaaltje, ditmaal uit El Chaltén, Argentinië.
Voor het eerst rijden we over de beroemde Ruta40. Halverwege deze route kwamen we een geweldig plekje tegen: Los Tamariscos. Een eettentje/koffietentje/winkeltje in de middle of nowhere. Het winkeltje was al 4 generaties in de familie. Oorspronkelijk
