I LEAVE to CHILE Before I’m Trapped in ARGENTINA!

I LEAVE to CHILE Before I’m Trapped in ARGENTINA!

The border is open 24 hours so just going to  get across today rather than potentially being   stuck several days I’m traveling the length of  the Americas in a tuk tuk with a dog and after   three long weeks of waiting for documentation  we’ve finally been cleared to cross the chili  

Together weather reports are saying to wait a few  more days but we’re itching to get back out on the   road what a day what a day we got Patti Torii the  Tuk Tuk behind us we’re just getting in this bad  

Boy because we’re going to go to Mendoza to  sort the vaccinations the Visas and I don’t   have to drive so I’m going passenger princess  with Patti cuz we’re going to stay the night

So these guys are saving me from a 9h hour round  trip in the Tuk Tuk by us going with them in the   car the Visa I received the last time I was  at the Chilean Embassy in Mendoza was for a  

72-hour entrance so I’m headed back to the city  to finalize mine and Patti’s documents along   with withdrawing cash and getting it swapped  to Chile and pesos which is the currency of   our next country I also want to treat them  to dinner to say thanks for everything yeah  

Attempt one at a Western Union Bank I thought  tell me you’re in a City without telling me   you’re in a city there’s money well there isn’t  it’s Argentina we’re going to try in another

Place we just left the bank and we’ve just paid  for our Visa so more or less I guess we’ve got   the Visa I’m going back to the Consulate of  Chile organizing that um then going to take  

Patti the vet and then we’re on our way to  Chile which is really cool yep it’s kind of   like the time I’ve had an Argentina is kind of  coming to an end and it’s been like incredible  

Um it’s been an amazing experience I can’t can’t  wait to come back but I also can’t wait to get on   to the next adventure there’s a lot of mystery  in a new country and Chile’s going to present  

That so I’m looking forward to that as well  um it’s just really cool to enjoy all like   elements of the of the travel lifestyle so yeah  it’s a good time but yeah just so appreciative   for everything I’ve learned all the growth  I’ve had all the Epic like people I’ve met  

The the flavors I’ve tasted yeah it’s been  a really good time thank you Argentina we’re   about to hit up Chile you guys also wanted to  see like more of the cities where I’m at so   we’re without the Tuk tuk indefinitely well  it’s back at the hostel so couple hundred  

Kilometers away from where I am currently at  was really really nice of them to to drive me   and Patti to get all our errands done here  so yeah this is come kind of where we’re at like a Taxi this is like a huge Hotel um  yeah the streets are nice I just realized  

Like I’m passing where I need to be so that’s  the consulate across the road um we’re in like   quite a well-off area of Mendoza capital I don’t  know why I say it with an accent it’s like I kind  

Of can’t not um so the capital of mendoza  and because we’re still in Mendoza Province   so there like a bit of a difference as well  Mendoza Capital Mendoza Province so yeah it’s chill all right back here again I guess a couple  videos ago you would have seen I would have just  

Here at the Consulate of Chile but now we’re  back again fingers crossed we get onto this that’s it that’s the poor man’s lunch so while  the the Visa was just being processed the last   few things we went to the supermarket in Argentina  um it’s similar to to Europe if you’re familiar  

With Carefour but we just got the woolworths back  in Australia anyway I got some bread and in my   back pocket I got the ham and cheese so we’re  going to absolutely go hard on that um all up  

N bucks plus a couple kitkats cuz I haven’t  had Kit Kats in so long so I was like let’s   celebrate getting the Chilean Visa there’s an  absolute benefit to having the direct personal   phone number of the the chief um administrator  over there in in the consulate so that’s like  

One of the perks of having a Tuk Tuk he was like  he came out personally and he was the one that put   through my Visa personally and I was calling him  on the weekend actually he called me up and was  

Like yo when you coming I was like I’m actually  going to come to the the capital I’ve already   put the Visa through so he processed that a bit  faster it was just a real positive experience so  

Now we’re we’re off to Chile it’s getting real  um yeah going to be a good time my chauffeurs thanks for looking after her she’s happy the  Tuk tuk’s behind us it feels like it’s more   than it feels like it’s very Sunday um is the  direct translation but what we got going is a  

Good little flame it’s kind of like a celebration  lunch that we’re doing to kind of send me off the   plan was to leave tomorrow but potentially I’m  leaving today because there’s apparently huge   snow storms rolling in that are going to happen  tomorrow and I’d hate to like think I’m leaving  

Tomorrow to Chile but then for the border  to close so I’m kind of under the pump um   we probably just going to have a big lunch and  then um I reckon I’m going to send it with Patti   the border is open 24 hours so just going  to get across today rather than potentially  

Being stuck several days oh my good mate Guido  we’re doing some Chorizo and like some beef it’s all happening I can’t lie I’m like  really nervous I didn’t even eat much of   the the barbecue lunch we just had like I  feel a bit sick so my mate’s taking me out

Yeah so we’ve just had Patti literally jump  in I don’t know how she got in but she did   she managed it um we’ve got a lot more stuff than  before because we’re traveling to Chile which has  

A cost of living 60% higher than currently it  is in Argentina so we’ve stocked up on nearly   10 kilos rice 20 kilos of dog food um and of  course like a bunch of canned food as well so  

We probably got two weeks of food in the in the  Tuk Tuk um we might be able to send some camping   adventures with that that’ll be a good time but  um nonetheless it’s just a lot cheaper here so  

Even Chileans do it it’s kind of crazy but they  do cross the border to go to the shops and then   they cross back with like month’s worth of  food we’re like 5 minutes off leaving um   the the guys are just having a siesta so  we’re going to go unfortunately wake him

Oh my goodness we’re on the road Patti who would  have thought big Vibes man it’s been a minute   it’s been a it’s been a quality 21 days waiting  for all the vaccines to become in in effect but  

Yeah finally we’re ready to go and I’m just so  grateful for all the help from like that family   back at the hostel they just looking after Patti  and helping me with everything getting all the   documents ready and and taking me in giving me a  little discounted price at the hostel just to to  

Help me out cuz they know what we’re trying to do  and just help my Adventures just like yeah they   they was saying like by the end of it I’m always  family like they they feel like I’m their cousin  

That type of thing so that’s really special it  means a lot and they were just letting me know   like I was in happy tears like back there like  I’m just so appreciative but they were letting   me know like if anything happens like you’ve  always got a space and uh place to come back  

To if things go south um just come back home  so it’s really nice of them it’s really nice   I appreciate the world man [ __ ] why am  I upset I think it’s just so many emotions

All right well I’m going to put the camera down  and Vibe out enjoy it put some music on we’re   about 3 hours to the Border cuz it’s just mad  uphills and the Tuk tuk’s already telling me  

Like apparently 40 km on the on the flats is our  Max Speed um yeah it’s been a minute since we’re   going to be driving long distances like usually  it’s just to the the corner store and back yeah  

That big cloud looming over those mountains up  there looks like it it could be snow I don’t   know um that’s kind of the reason we’re going  cuz apparently that’s just going to accumulate   more and more and we definitely want to get over  this this hump of mountains of these Patagonia’s  

To get into Chile sooner rather than later with  that looking like it is look at that yo it’s   kind of a good thing we’re getting out of this  country man cuz I just went to the fuel station  

And there is no fuel so that’s good we got big  blue back there um he’s full so we got 20 L and   we only need about probably seven or eight to  to get to the border so should be a good time

When I’m recording right I’ve got the GoPro  right up against the glass so you can’t get any   interference with the wind but if I put it here I  don’t know how that sounds but I got some hectic  

Wind blasting through this left door I even feel  like there’s more drag if I was to close the door   like you think I’m a yellow bullet but I’m far  from it I’m more like a I don’t know like this  

Setup with the back doors down it looks like I’m  a parachute but um for some reason I feel like   there’s less drag less wind interference so you  can definitely feel like yeah that afternoon is  

What they call Sonda which is like the the wind of  this region it even has a name it’s so Infamous as   much as I’m glad I’m leaving this afternoon it’s  also like oh tomorrow morning could have been  

The way to go usually there’s a lot less wind in  the mornings than the afternoon but it is what it   is yeah oh we’re hitting 30 so that’s about 20  mph just to give a a perspective on it as well

She’s a bit weirded out I think she’s in in a  fun little Zone in her mind where it’s like Hmm   we’re we’re driving quite a long time Ryan  we’re not usually doing this so yeah we’re   both just getting used to that travel lifestyle  again it’s been a minute since I packed the Tuk  

Tuk as well so just stopped off Sun’s almost gone  down it’s probably like 6:30 Patti’s hooking into   a bit of food and so am I we got the best road  trip snack the asado beef that we cooked up and  

Some bread buns so it’s a it’s a good time had a  bit of bit of Netflix on the front as well this   is some good stuff hey I’m loving it I was lowkey  wondering why she was still over there having the  

Kibble and what do I got I got a bit of meat  here you go good sit good girl yes good girl there’s a bit there’s a bit more  fat I can give you soon okay hey come here eat the military stops that we’ve passed through  haven’t turned us away meaning that the the  

Border is still open which is positive and and  the sky is absolutely clear day so it’s kind   of nice um it’s not too dark yet and hopefully  we can still see a bit of the the scenery after  

Crossing into Chile see there’s some things that  I do that later I then realize that I’m doing   them and I really question myself right this  is one of those times I think check out what   we got going we got the last bit of sunlight  going over the the mountains there it is very  

Cold we’re at 3,000 M and there’s snow on these  mountains I don’t know why I heard the weather   report that there was going to be an amber  alert is what they kind of call it um saying  

Heavy snowfall tonight and I thought hey let’s  not get stuck on this side of the Border when   we’re trying to get there tomorrow let’s just  go today and my plan simply was also I’m not   going to book any anything cuz I’m just going  to cross the border and find somewhere to Wild  

Camp not at all thinking about the weather  and I’ve been like oh yeah 5:00 is a good   time to decide to leave Drive the three four 5  hours to get to this border me saying I’d love  

To see some of the scenery in Chile meanwhile  me know I won’t get to to the border before 8   and that’s whether there’s a line or not and  how long we take to get through that with it  

Being like quite a strict border and then have me  come out the other side uh knowing what it looked   like a month ago full snow on these mountains  and chili 3,000 M and me thinking yeah I’m just  

Going to whip out my kids sleeping bag and some  tent that was cheap as chips um and and call it   a day so we’re nearly there but yeah this is one  of those times where I’m like what are we doing with the blanket Patti’s got the blanket too

We’re about to cross border 3 into country  3 of 23 what a day what a day oh cutie goodbye Argentina hello chile anyway if you guys have followed my last vid  where I had to leave Patti behind that means  

I’m officially in Chile but my vehicle and myself  officially aren’t and Patti as well we’ve got to   go through the Customs clearance and then we’re  we’re free to travel uh 90 days myself in Chile   Patty 60 days for some reason we’ve got to get  back out of the country before then and then  

The vehicle probably 90 days as well we’ll  see how that goes So the plan is that we’re   going to try to be in Chile less than 60 days  and get to Argentina again because we’re on a   tight schedule to get to Ushuaia during the  summertime because the wind’s going to pick  

Up in in Winter and it’s going to have we’re  going to have like 5 hour days of sunlight in   Winter as well if we’re still there so we got  to make the use of our time um and and kind  

Of send Chile and send South Argentina through  the Patagonia and when I say send it’s still a   Tuk Tuk it’s still going to be in high altitude  mountains and it’s also my favorite like kind of  

Uh I would say biome but environment to travel  through so we’re going to take our time but um   yeah I can’t tell myself to take my time because  and we end up spending 5 months like we did in   Bolivia traveling so yeah officially we’re  in Chile we’re about to hit up Customs wish  

Us luck that’s the promised land ladies and  gentlemen that’s the spot where we’re going   to find out if we’re going back or we’re  staying fingers crossed we get the all good yeah didn’t see many cars on the road but  here we are anyway that’s how we’re looking  

I was coming up this hill right into the  tunnel and I could already see cars I’m   like this doesn’t look good this wasn’t how  it was last time I think cuz like with it   being night there’s a lot less like stations  going I’m also going to take the flag down cuz  

Last time we crossed through they were like  what do you what do you got the flag up for   you’re kind of you’re in chile you know so it  is a is all good looking pretty an hour and a  

Half we’ll see how we go all right till next  time hey till next time we’re in Argentina well we’re still here waiting um getting there  eventually just chatting with a bunch of chilenos   the Spanish is so much more difficult than  Spanish in Argentina I’m not ready for it I  

Can already tell like yeah some things that  go way over my head but we’re getting there   nonetheless though he was telling me just like  well how beautiful this route is during the the   day how dangerous it is especially that I’m  driving it at night to be careful and to not  

Drive through chile at night just because  of robbing and like um yeah like thief’s um   it’s apparently becoming really dangerous  so it’s like something to watch out for let’s go baby we’re in country number three Chile  we’ve arrived Patti’s third country Torii the Tuk  

Tuk’s Third Country Patti’s desperate for the  bathroom as we’re heading down trying to find a   camping spot they’ve recommended me to to lower  in altitude where it’s a lot not so cold a lot  

Warmer and yeah that was like the most chill it  took a while there was just a lot of people but   because there was a lot of people that were just  kind of in a rush and it was the chillest revision  

Of my Tuk Tuk uh I just had the paperwork ready  um they just done a check check check and they’ve   just sent me right through so once we got to the  front of the line it took all of 10 minutes which  

Is really cool um until the very end my Zip’s  broken right see that um the Zip’s both broken and   we had just packed everything away I’m literally  about to drive off and some like pedestrian dude  

Crossing the border as well he’s just going to  try to pet Patti in the back and Patti’s like   tried to have a go him obviously cuz it’s like  a protective spot and I don’t know the guy and  

I’ve I’ve like had like a woah reaction and like  had a had a Rous at Patti cuz that’s just like   my reaction because it’s like could have been a  kid I didn’t even see it and yeah it was right  

In front of the guards and everything and they’ve  looked at me like yeah right bud you good to get   in to Chile yeah and then I’ve just been like all  right let’s just get out of here cuz they’d given  

Us the all clear at that point we were just ready  to to get out of there and then right at the end   that kind of gave me a little bit of a a a heart  racing moment we’re about to drive the Apparently  

Most dangerous Highway at night in Latin America  that’s what I got told I don’t know like how legit   that is that’s maybe a Chilean bias I don’t know I  don’t know how to pronounce it um I saw the photos  

Of the daytime and they are an absolute mess it’s  just huge drop off so we’ll see how we go it’s   time to change this out now that we’re in Chile  it’s really exciting um I think that I would be  

A lot happier if that just thing didn’t happen  right at the end where it just stressed me out   cuz I wasn’t ready for it and I think it was just  a weird Crossing just so much build up and hype of  

Like that it’s a very strict and difficult border  I don’t want to comment too much because it’s like   I’m grateful for it but they were just like show  us your your baggage and they put that through  

The scanner and nothing else he sone a torch from  the doorway into the back but he checked nothing   he didn’t open up the chair didn’t open up the  white boxes or look inside the the the green  

Boxes that we got or like I showed them that I’ve  got some olive oil back here um and that I bought   it from the shops I don’t know they were just  like this is a trustworthy guy enter our country  

So I’m grateful Chile we’re here ready to explore  ready to just bring on the new challenges I think   the video is not done we’ve got to still find  somewhere to sleep um in this freezing climate  

Literally like I don’t know how well you can see  those lights that group of Lights just behind me   that’s how we did the Customs clearance so we  literally didn’t even drive 5 minutes I had a  

Good feeling I hit up this road and I’m in like a  construction ground but I reckon we’re just going   to Wild Camp it’s like a construction ground car  park lot Patti’s off leash I’m about to put the  

Tent in front of Torii the Tuk Tuk cover the  big yellow Beast up a little bit set my alarm   for like before the sunrise so we can get packed  up and it’s like we were never here get a decent  

Like six 7 hours sleep I don’t know how much  we’re going to get um but call it a night now   cuz we kind of had like an early dinner um and  I’m definitely not cooking so Patti’s hey Patti  

Come Patti come mate she gets in a new country  and she’s just like new smells and everything   she’s pretty good usually staying like close  by but Patti come it’s still a stealth Camp so   I’m like I don’t want to yell we literally only  have like a fire truck parked behind us I doubt  

Anyone’s sleeping in that um but at the same time  like I don’t want to be making too much noise um   and attracting too much attention cuz I think  I’m looking over there is like that looks to be  

Yeah she’s the best she’s the best aren’t yeah  I think that we’re going to just call it there   we did get told yo it’s pretty pretty cold um but  I reckon yeah with us with our kids sleeping bag  

I’ll Chuck a few more layers on um we can do it so  yeah had a good chat with one of the guys at the   the border crossing as well and he’s like oh what  you’re 23 oh that’s why you can do all this he’s  

Like you hit 30 no way in heck you’re doing that  so that’s the setup here got the blanket Patti you ready for bed yeah okay well I’ll let get to  sleep so that’s the setup so that’s Patti there  

And here’s me um in the tent got it all got  it going and I don’t know yeah you can’t see   but there’s like a silhouette of this mountain  that’s just out of this world hey I can’t wait  

To see it tomorrow so um yeah that’s us I was  going to sleep with patty just for a bit more   warmth but just from all the I don’t know  man like first of all I need to experience   the country myself before kind of making a  decision but just from the recommendations  

It’s kind of trust the locals until I have time  to figure it out and they’re all saying like   Chile’s hectic right now it’s really dangerous  so it’s like even though we’re like right on the   border and it’s like quite a probably touristic  area up in the snowy mountains it’s just like I  

Got Patti double jacketed and a blanket so  she’ll be warm enough um and I’ll be sweet   in the tent kids sleeping bag beach tent and  I even stole one of Patti’s blankets as well   so with the foam mattress we’ll be sweet we’ll  call it a day um yeah until tomorrow Legends

With a storm quickly approaching and a country wide fuel shortage occurring, we have to cross to Chile TODAY! Can we make it as a team?
