A sunny day with greats views of the Wetterstein Mountain Range! ##wankspitze #wankmalwieder #wettersteingebirge #bayern #alps #alpen #instamountains #mountainlovers #exploremountains #landscapephotography #mountainphotography #bergwelten #alpensucht #bergsüchtig #berge #montagne #landscape_lovers #wondermore #liveoutdoors #outdoorlife #explorers #mountaineering #folkscenery #weroamgermany #bnwphotography #blackwhitephotography #blackandwhite #noiretblanc
La Mucha Buena Excursión: The end... Two weeks a La Mucha Buena Excursión: The end... Two weeks ago took my last pedal strokes in Santiago de Chile, the final destination of this journey. I am now back home in Europe and already the trip feels like a distant dream... Did it really happen? 8 months cycling in 5 countries along the Cordillera de los Andes, the longest mountain range in the world. 240 days of incredible landscapes, fascinating latin cultures, welcoming locals, friendly encounters with fellow cyclists and travelers, delicious food (oh how I miss the food...), remote bikepacking routes and stunning camping spots. I already miss the simplicity of life on the saddle, where the only two things you have to "worry" about on any particular day are what you will eat and where you will sleep. Every other moment is "que du bonus", as we say in French. My only regret is not having had the time (or sometimes the energy) to keep my blog up to date. But fear not, I am set on catching up and writing the missing articles during the coming weeks (or months...). See you soon South America, we have some unfinished business! #ecuador #peru #bolivia #argentina #chile #southamerica #andes #cordilleradelosandes #cordillera #travelsouthamerica #southamericatravel #lapaz #seismiles #flamingoes #startrails #bikepackingargentina #bikepacking #biketouring #bikepackinglife #worldbybike #worldofcycling1 #bikewander #bikepacking_inspiration #adventurecycling #cycletouring #adventurebybike #fahrradtour #cyclotourisme #cyclingphotos
La Mucha Buena Excursión: Paso Vergara (Argentina La Mucha Buena Excursión: Paso Vergara (Argentina -> Chile). Not wanting to cycle on busy Ruta 7 west of Mendoza, I chose to enter Chile via Paso Vergara further to the south. Once again I couldn't have been happier. The route was stunning and so remote that I never believed there would actually be a border post until I finally reached it. What a way to cross the Andes one last time... #pasovergara #argentina #chile #southamerica #andes #cordilleradelosandes #cordillera #travelsouthamerica #southamericatravel #gaucho #bikepackingargentina #bikepacking #biketouring #bikepackinglife #worldbybike #worldofcycling1 #bikewander #bikepacking_inspiration #adventurecycling #cycletouring #adventurebybike #fahrradtour #cyclotourisme #cyclingphotos #landscape #adventure #traveling #travel #travelling
La Mucha Buena Excursión: Ruta de los Reales. I La Mucha Buena Excursión: Ruta de los Reales. I wanted one last adventure before the end of the trip, well my wish was granted! Mark (@highluxphoto) had suggested I take this route to connect Las Leñas and Ruta 226 and I'm glad I did. What a great feeling to be back in the Andes! And the route had it all, incredible landscapes, a tricky cableway passage, yet another awesome solitary wild camp in a beautiful valley, some steep hike-a-bike sections, cows and horses, muddy swamps and deep river crossings. Certainly one of the highlights of the trip. #rutadelosreales #lasleñas #gaucho #argentina #southamerica #andes #cordilleradelosandes #cordillera #travelsouthamerica #southamericatravel #bikepackingargentina #bikepacking #biketouring #bikepackinglife #worldbybike #worldofcycling1 #bikewander #bikepacking_inspiration #adventurecycling #cycletouring #adventurebybike #fahrradtour #cyclotourisme #cyclingphotos #landscape #adventure #traveling #travel #travelling
La Mucha Buena Excursión : Ruta 40 Vieja. The ol La Mucha Buena Excursión : Ruta 40 Vieja. The old track between Pareditas and El Sosneado was a quiet, albeit sandy, alternative to the busy Ruta 40. Apart from the occasional gauchos and a couple of cars, old Volcán Diamante (2354 m) remained my only true companion during the 3 days it took me to complete the route. #ruta40 #ruta40argentina #ruta40viajesyturismo #mendoza #gaucho #argentina #southamerica #andes #cordilleradelosandes #cordillera #travelsouthamerica #southamericatravel #bikepacking #biketouring #bikepackinglife #worldbybike #bikewander #adventurecycling #cycletouring #adventurebybike #fahrradtour #cyclotourisme #cyclingphotos #landscape #adventure #traveling #travel #travelling #travelgram
La Mucha Buena Excursión : Ruta Cerros de Mendoza La Mucha Buena Excursión : Ruta Cerros de Mendoza. From Barreal to Mendoza, the route crossed a "small" pre-Andes mountain range north west of the wine capital of Argentina, offering great views of Mount Aconcagua (at 6961m the highest mountain of the Andes), some of the steepest tracks I've ever encountered (some at 30% 😱) and one last 3000+ pass. #cerrosdemendoza #mendoza #argentina #southamerica #andes #cordilleradelosandes #cordillera #travelsouthamerica #southamericatravel #bikepacking #biketouring #bikepackinglife #worldbybike #bikewander #adventurecycling #cycletouring #adventurebybike #fahrradtour #cyclotourisme #cyclingphotos #landscape #adventure #traveling #travel #travelling #travelgram
