After my bike was serviced, I decided I wanted to go to Valparaíso, Chile to check it out to make sure everything was working fine, Chris had joined me in Santiago, but his bike was still in service and mine wasn’t, so off I go! Chris had also decided to spend a few nights there later in the week, so it would have been useless him coming along.
Finally, I arrived in Santiago, Chile. This was always going to be a milestone on my journey to Ushuaia Patagonia and one where I needed to relax a few days, get some things in order for my final assault south. After just one night in La Serena, I was keen to get my KTM Super Adventure serviced
La Serena, another port town on the West Coast of Chile was my next stop on my determined way to Santiago. As I discussed in my previous post to Antofagasta, I was going to put in some big miles to get to Santiago as I would need to get my KTM Super Adventure serviced, new tires and also replace parts in my helmet, which was causing me issues.
Antofagasta, Chile, is a port city in northern Chile and just a two day stop for me as I made my way south to Santiago. Everything I could think about now was getting to Santiago to plan my final and toughest assignment to get to Patagonia and hopefully Ushuaia.
Onwards to Chile! I will miss Bolivia, the country provided me with some of the biggest highlights of my trip. I will not miss the gas station scamming that goes on in this country though.
