We woke up two teenagers who were guarding a stop sign on the Argentina Chile border. It took them half an hour to fill out our forms and then they waved us into Chile

Decided to cross to Chile on a mountain 4×4 pass. To get there we saw a faint trail on the map ,which the owner of the campground said was passable ( probably , we couldn’t understand a lot of what he said ) . Ended up driving 4 hours thru a desert with salt lakes, flamingos, and rock walls.

Almost ran out of fuel on Ruta 40, so we decided to push our luck and sleep in the high desert of Argentina. Started driving along a lake and saw a couple of huts on a beach.

We drove 100 km offroad to see One of the most inaccessible parks in Argentina. Opened the doors to 80 km winds and freezing temperature (with sun). Stayed the night (yael spent the night in the Toyota) in the tent with all the covers we brought and wearing all our clothes. Beautiful place, couldn’t do one trek …
