DORMÍ SOLO FRENTE a un VOLCÁN y el VIENTO ZONDA casi me ARRANCA la CARPA (y el alma) ☠️
Hi family, how are you? It’s almost 2:30 in the afternoon, and I just passed Confluencia. Look at the beautiful view behind me. And here’s my adventure companion, now a little more equipped. Those who saw the previous video with Yago will know that I didn’t have this little water bottle or the tent like that. And that’s because I went back home to edit last Sunday’s video, because otherwise there wouldn’t be a video on the channel, and I wanted to keep my promise. Now I’m carrying the tent out here because I’m carrying a larger bag, which I absolutely refused to bring because it’s too big. With that sleeping bag, I’ve camped at -25g and it’s been perfect. But when I was so cold the last night we camped with Yago, I said, “No, I have to take her. It can’t be. I’m going to be camping in places where it can get really cold. It’s still winter, so better to be safe than sorry. And now the mission is to get as close to Mendoza as possible. The idea was to get to Rincón de los Sauces today and sleep today, but it’s 2:30, I haven’t even made it to Piedra del Águila yet, so I think I’ll be staying earlier, I’ll leave and drive a bit through the night. We’ll see, but there are a lot of kilometers to cover today, so let’s hurry, let’s get going, because we’re already a little late. Luckily, the day is on our side now because I left Villa La Angostura in the rain, but now, well, it looks pretty clear. In some places, right up ahead, you can see that there’s sun. Ah, look how beautiful this part of the route is. I love it. It has a pretty significant cliff here. The only thing that sometimes A light breeze is picking up here. It’s a bit windy now, but it’s good. Look how the bus is passing me, using half my lane. My God, what sons of bitches. Welcome, family, once again to our beloved Patagonian Steppe. This landscape will be with us for a few kilometers. It’s already 3:00 p.m., and I have less than 100 km left to Piedra del Águila. I doubt I’ll be able to make it to Rincón de los Sauces, there on the border with Mendoza, today. For now, let’s keep going, keep going, keep going, because we still have many kilometers ahead of us. At 4:00 p.m., family, we arrived at Piedra del Águila. The name says it all; it’s surrounded by rocks, and well, there must be a lot of black-backed eagles, which are the eagles that are native to this area. Anyway, let’s go refuel because I’m on reserve. I had a strong headwind , and I’m going to show you on the map a little bit of the route I’m planning to take, but we’re going to replan everything because I have two and a half hours of daylight left. And the truth is, I’m not going to make it to Rincón de los Sauces during the day. I’d like to see where the furthest I can go in daylight is and see if I can camp around there. Hey, how are you doing? Everything okay? What’s going on around the corner? Heading north. That route, friend? Good, it was a little good, but pretty good, luckily . Where is it? From Villa La Angostura. What’s recording? I’m recording, yes. Later you can watch it here on the channel. Okay, brother, thanks a million. Have a great time. We’ll see you anyway. Okay, family, now yes. And let’s look at the map. We’re now here in Piedra del Águila. We came here doing everything on Highway 237. We came from Villa La Angostura. Everything this way, everything this way. And my idea now is to go to Picú Leufu. Here, spend the night in Picún. I have an hour and a bit of travel time, and tomorrow morning very early, very early I’ll leave everything this way around 5:00 PM until Añelo. And from Añelo, I’m leaving around 7:00, and then it gets to 5:00, and then I’m heading to Rincón de los Haus, and that’s where the good adventure begins, because we’re going to be entering Mendoza. So that’s sort of the plan for now: arrive in Picú in daylight, find a place to camp, relax, and then tomorrow leave early in the cool air. Maybe at night, so that after Rincón de los Sauces, the good adventure begins, because we’re going to be entering Mendoza on a gravel road I’ve never taken: Highway 180, which later becomes Highway 186 and Highway 183, and well, we’re going to be there among volcanoes. We already have a new plan, so let’s continue on, but not before eating some good nuts, otherwise I’ll be the one who runs out of fuel. Let’s go for it, because I was just about to get some sparks. It clouded over. All of a sudden, so, oh well. Oh, how that dog runs at me. God. Look how beautiful the clouds look there with the sun. I imagine it’s a really nice sunset over there today, huh? I’m already on the outskirts of Picú Leufú, family, and now I’m on a little road that ‘s taking me to the shore of the Picú Leufú River. Let’s see if we can find a place to camp next to the river. That would be nice. The good thing is that we’re already on a dirt road. And we arrived with daylight, just in time. The road is a little wet. It looks like it’s rained here these past few days. Quite a lot of water, huh? Pretty big puddles, I’d say. Look at this puddle. Tremendous. A lot of water. Hey, we ended the day with a bit of mud and adventure, I think, huh? Here it looks like there’s salt. There are some little ducks. Look how cute they are, che. And here, mmm, I don’t like this at all, huh? I think I’m going to turn around. There’s a huge puddle there and there’s some kind of strange mud. Mmm, it’s kind of mushy, I tell you, huh? What do you say, ducks? I better turn around, right? Uh, yeah. This is a mess. It’s really muddy. End of the day. We don’t want any trouble, right? Because this is like a very [ __ ] mud, huh? I just tried a little bit on the side and the truth is that this mud didn’t look good at all. Well, let’s go back. It’s Picun Leufu. This is like the main avenue. Look, a casino all broken down. It looks very peaceful in the town. Uh, a recreational sports and cultural complex. City Hall. Ah, this is where they do dressage that I saw on the map. They must have some really great parties here, huh? There’s a man there. Let’s ask the man and see what he says. Hello, how’s it going? All right. I have a question. Am I looking for a place to camp by the river or something? There’s camping down there. I’ll go in that way. Yes, yes, right there, where that yellow and black thing is. Thank you very much. A great man who was able to guide me there, next to the yellow thing. He told me, “There’s some sand here. What did I do? Oh, yeah, I got something. Good thing I didn’t get a flat. Now it is, over here. Ah, look. It’s really good. But yes, a lot of people come here, right? That’s the [ __ ] It’s still quiet, they’ve told me. We chose to believe, we chose to believe that this is a good place. Look at the sunset over there in the background. How beautiful. Beautiful it is. And I’m here next to the Picú Leufu River. Picun means north and leufu means stream, northern stream. This town wasn’t here before, it was somewhere else, but it was flooded by an overflow from the Chocón dam and it was relocated here. And now it has more or less 2,600, 3,000 inhabitants. And this is the municipal campground, everything you’re seeing here, the truth is that it’s very, very well equipped. Uh, it seems that they must have parties here because the Dressage. Well, there are a lot of traditional events, right? From Neuquén culture. And here we have, look, to support. We have lanterns that I don’t know if they’ll light up, a little grill, and also, look, I don’t know if it’s working, but I suppose it is, we have outlets, which this one does n’t seem to because I can’t see the plug, but hey, there are plenty of blue poles to plug in and surely one of those should work. Now, well, I’m going to relax a little here and then eat, because my plan is to leave really early tomorrow, take advantage of the full morning, go out in the dark taking advantage of the fact that now it’s light, family, I still can’t believe it. Look at these South LED headlights. You know that in the video description I’ll always leave the store there in case anyone wants to get it. Tomorrow we’re going to be trying them out for the first time on a trip because at 7 in the morning, which is when I want to leave to take advantage because we have many kilometers to cover tomorrow, it’s still dark, so well, the headlights are going to save me tomorrow. I’m already Here eating a lentil stew, two cars just arrived with people who are kind of drunk, I think. I hope there are no problems tonight, but anyway, I’ll eat the stew and go to bed because I’m already sleepy. Good morning. Good morning, family. In the end, I was able to sleep perfectly. They stayed up a bit noisy, but I think until 12. Pretty good. The people of Picón Leufu are respectful. Thank you very much for letting me sleep. I wasn’t cold at all, although it is Cold, but no. The bag is impeccable. How lucky I decided to bring the one that holds up the best because otherwise I would have had a terrible time. And well, I’ve already got everything loaded in Andes. It’s around 6:30, 7 in the morning, now I’m following the road we entered Mendoza today. There on my left is the gas station, and here in front of me is the route that goes where I want to go, to Plaza Huincul. So I’m going to keep going, I’m going to keep going because, well, here I can’t charge because it’s not recommended to charge, and in Plaza Huincul there’s an IPF (Independent Protection Agency). Look how these headlights are shining. Crazy. Look how beautiful the sun is rising back there, right? It’s amazing how it looks from here, huh? Look, family, I’m here with Andes, and whoever rises at dawn is rewarded. I have the moon here, and look at what this is. Amazing sunrise. It’s being painted there with these reddish, orange, blazing colors, and it’s not cold at all. It’s crazy. I left Picú Leufu and they were doing about 3 gr. And now in this area they’re doing about 10, 12 gr. It’s wonderful for riding a motorcycle. Look at the moon. Seeing all this when you enter Plaza Huincul, it’s really, really sad, honestly, because this is a small example of how we affect the world, right? And the earth. Luckily, there are more and more people who care, right? Who realize that thanks to the earth we’re standing here. Every time I come here and see this, it never fails to impact you, right? And so are the oceans and many other places. The important thing is to always set an example and do everything possible every day to change this. It’s not easy, nor is it impossible. Now yes, we’re arriving at Plaza Huincul. Let’s go have that coffee; we deserve it. I’m already having my coffee, sorting through the files. I’ll finish and continue. We’re ready to continue our journey, and I just checked the rear mast. Well, I had a fall on this side a few days ago with Yago. I fell on the very, very soft sand and I didn’t see that I touched it, but somewhere along the way it did touch the ground and it was damaged, but it’s very strange, anyway , where I see it’s broken. Look, see? There, right there at the base, the pipe cracked, but we put the anchors in place; they’re still holding up very well. So, well, I’m going to see if I can get it out and tie it back here, so later when I find someone who can weld it for me. We knew these things could happen because the masts aren’t made for falls; they’re made to withstand the jolting of the road. I’m now leaving Plaza Huincul heading for Ice, and that’s selling fire there. I don’t know if you’re coming to a chimney with fire; this whole area is very oil-producing, and where we’re going is even more so. And we continue on the pavement. I think we have about two hours left and some pavement. And then comes the gravel. Let’s go. I miss the land. Now, let’s continue. Look, there are the storks. I think they’re called storks. With that extra oil. Over there you can see the local reservoir, family. That whole body of water is the local reservoir, and that means we’re already getting there to see if I can get someone to weld the mast for me here in Añelo. It would be, wow, great. A luxury. I think we all love the rear mast shots, right? I need to give the GoPro 7 a bit of a workout; I want it retired, but it still has a little more left. I just heard that over there, like on a corner, there’s a tire shop, and that that tire shop supposedly has welding equipment. El Kolo Tire Shop. Look, just like over there, but over there it’s with C Colo, my mechanic. Great. Let’s see. Hello, how’s it going? Good day. Everything okay? I have a question. Hey, do you have some welding equipment here? Welding equipment. Yeah. Because I asked at the IPF, they told me, “No, maybe they have welding equipment over there at the tire shop.” He said, “Don’t ask me, it seems like…” Hello, good day, Kolo Gastón, nice to meet you. How’s it going? Come on, I’m traveling and the rear mast I use to take the shots from behind broke right there at the base. The guy can weld it for you, no problem. Great. Marcelo is going to be the hero of the day today, so he’s going to be crowned. The people. They’re going to thank you. Marcelo. We have homemade screws. Look how much we make them here. Everything has a solution except death. It’s exactly here, Marcelo, what he’s doing is filing it so it fits properly in the pipe, because it fits very tightly. So, he’s Giving it a good little file so it fits and makes it as firm as possible, so it can withstand my falls. The moment of truth arrived. It was time to weld it. I didn’t burn myself. Look what this looks like, family. No, a luxury in the repair Marcelo just did. Since he polished it, he left it impeccable. Now we’re going to give it a few brush strokes to prevent it from rusting. And that’s it. This is impeccable, firmer than ever. So, well, here we have today’s savior , Marcelo Añelo. You know, if you ever come here, where do you have to come? Kolo’s Tire Shop. To Kolo’s Tire Shop. There it is. Everything is done here. Everything is done here at Kolo’s Tire Shop, and it even rhymes, look. So, well, ready to continue our journey. Now, with rear shots. Now, we’ll see each other. See you, we’re leaving here, from Kolo’s Tire Shop. A great one. Bye. We did it pretty fast , huh? It’s one o’clock. I’m taking with me a very nice memory of Añelo, really. A place you pass by, you pass by and say, “Well, there are only people who work in oil, and no, there’s a school here.” Look, there are people who come from many places. For example, Marcelo is from Regina and he likes it here better. Then we have Jime, I think it was Jime, if I remember correctly, who just told me, out of pure memory, that she’s from Chile and came to stay here and likes it too. She has some very good people. We continue advancing, and this is a bit of the panorama that surrounds us. We’re starting to see some undulations there that I don’t know if they’re volcanoes, but I know we’re getting close to volcanic territory. Look at the little ditch here, huh? How the water is coming. Tremendous. Everything seems so dry, dry, dry. And here the water is running. I think we’re already reaching the Rincón de los Sauces, family. Down there, you can see a whole town, and up ahead, you can already see some volcanoes, I think. That cone over there is a volcano from here to China and back. It could be the Payun, I don’t know. In this area we’re going to be traveling, there are more than 600 volcanoes. Now, let’s fill up the fuel because I’m almost out. We’re going to fill up the can because we have to be really close. We don’t know exactly how many kilometers we’ll cover without anything or anyone showing up. So we have to be very cautious. Look how the storks are here, working hard. And that one over there, the one we’re seeing, that cone, I just confirmed that it’s Cerro Payun, because Yaguito just sent me some photos of a camp he made around the place I’m going to go now, and it’s that one, it’s exactly like that, and my idea is to camp, I don’t know if in the same place he camped, but in the area, let’s say, right? So, well, I’ve got the route there. Let’s hope it doesn’t get lost when I run out of data. If not, I still took screenshots. The crossings along the way look pretty simple, so I think everything’s going to be pretty good. Well, it’s right here. Hey, I was about to miss it. There’s absolutely no sign that this is Route 180. In fact, it’s a route that leads to an oil field, but once you cross the Colorado River, it’s there, you see? Pata Mora. Here it says Pata Mora, it’s Mendoza. So, well, we’re doing well. I found the entrance, which was the most complicated part. And over there is the payun. We’re going to camp there, or somewhere close by. So, well, let the adventure begin, let the gravel begin. Now, family, now we’re crossing the Colorado River. Wow! Look how beautiful it is. How lovely. I love it. Look at the color of the rock there, the earth. All red. Okay, now I understand why the river is named, I guess, right? Now then, welcome to Mendoza. We’re crossing into the river. We’re in Mendoza. What a beautiful way to cross into another province. I’ve always taken Highway 40, eating up those damn 80s of gravel, and this is an option. Look, welcome to Mendoza. It’s a totally different option that I love. This is Pata Mora. Everything we’re seeing here is Pata Mora. First provincial crossing of Season 3. A stop to hydrate is always good. The gravel is really divine. There are some little rocks like this, but for now it’s very nice. I’m managing to get a rhythm between 80 and 90. I imagine it’s because trucks must use it a lot. All this is traveled by oil trucks. So, they’ve got it right. See? Here they come. If I name them first, they’ll appear sooner. But anyway, We’ll have to see further ahead when we’re much deeper in, and the road is still so good, because those trucks no longer travel there. Wow. And this, family, look at the road there, how it’s blocked. Tremendous. What’s up? Could it be the old Route 40 that came this way or something? Well, it definitely was an old route, right? But I don’t know which old route it was. How crazy. Okay, let’s keep going. I didn’t expect to find that. Wow. Look, here you can see, uh, the red rock we had up ahead. It looks like, I don’t know if it’s Mars, a reddish but kind of burgundy brown, I don’t know. But look, even the road turns red here. I don’t know if you can tell I’m giving it a go because of the dust I’m leaving behind, but we’re going full speed ahead with the Andes. It just so happens that I have an hour of daylight left. I want to go as fast as possible, so I can find a place to camp with the view of the payun I want there. The payún is too impressive to camp right in front of it. Well, I don’t know if you can see any family, but I went to the [ __ ]. I’m really far from where I had to go. Well, here I met up with Dani and Sebastián, the guys who are working, and well, they already showed me more or less where to go. So, thanks a million, guys. Yeah, you guys take care of yourselves. He told me that now I’m going to turn left in 4 km. What’s going on? I lost the route on Maps, I don’t know why it disappeared. So I was like, “Oh, I’m really fed up. If this Maps is messing with me, I’m screwed.” But no, now it reappeared, and at the next one, I have to take a left, and I’ll get my bearings. There are some ravines I have to cross, and then it’s going to come up like a plain. On that plain, they told me there’s a Movistar signal. Watch out, and then it’s a little further and we’ll have the volcano in front of us, the payún. So, well, I’ll camp. I have an hour and a half of light left. I think I’ll make it just in time. I have incredible lights, so I have a lot of faith. Come on, come on, family. Come on, we’ve got it. I’m here, family. I think it’s here. Let’s hope so. Let’s check our map. Let’s see if the route is still there, please. Okay, I’m here. Perfect, beautiful. Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go. Oh, the sawtooth over here. Uh, we’re entering the sawtooth path, it seems. Here it is. Uh, the path is much more broken, huh? You can tell it’s not. Uh, uy, you can tell this isn’t very busy. Come on, we can do it. We’re on the right path, which is something we didn’t have a few minutes ago. Now for the mountain range, Dad. Come on. There we have it in front of us. The Andes Mountains. Over there you can see the tip of Payun. We’re doing well, we’re doing well. We’re already climbing. We’re on a small esplanade, but it still seems like we have to climb a little further. But we’re doing well, family, we’re doing well. The amount of sawing this has isn’t even half normal, eh? I’m telling you, I’ve never had, ugh, I’ve never had so much sawing on a road. I’m telling you, the Royal guys are going to have a good job in Mendoza, eh, because I’m going to give them a hard time. Imagine the sawing there, I lost the rear mast, I mean, freshly welded, and so everything blew away. I suppose it was recently because I remember I had it a little while ago and it was put in here too, so maybe I lost it over here. Oh, God. On top of that, it has the proposed Go Pro too. It can’t have jumped too much. It has to be in the road. Oh, no, no, no. I’m really scared even for myself with this sawing. I’ve never had one so rough, I mean, so much sawing and so long. Oh, I hope it turns up. It has to be . Well, I think I’m going to give up on the flagpole, family, because I haven’t been backtracking much. I’ve been back for about 10 minutes now and I can’t find it. No, it’s not there. It should be in the middle of the road, but no, you can’t see anything. Here on this straight road I remember crossing paths with a guy who was coming in a… Yes, in a pickup truck, I think. So in the end it must have fallen further back. Maybe he grabbed it, I don’t know. I don’t know what use a camera could be to him, but he doesn’t want to appear, family. And the sun is going to want to go away. It’s 6:25. I still haven’t arrived at the place I want to go. The truth is that a [ __ ] I liked being able to give you those shots. My friend Julio took a [ __ ]’s work because those anchors are still there, except that well, the mast was left leaning a little to the right and then when I fell it cracked and it seems that with the welding they did today for this saw which is, I’ll tell you now, not even half normal. The saw here has never touched me. It’s too much, really too much. Even for the vehicle itself. How sad, how sad to have lost it. Uh, luckily I have some clips that I made that I downloaded to the computer from the first part of the video. What can you do? It’s part of the journey, I guess, right? But it still leaves you with a bitter taste, honestly, because it’s like you don’t know where to go. I would keep coming back to see in the hope of finding it, but at the same time I know that I have to come back to continue because I’ve already done enough, but at the same time I don’t want to leave it. The possibility that it’s there. I don’t know if anyone understands me, but I feel pulled at this moment. But anyway, I guess it’s over, right? We’ll give up on it . Ah, what a shame, family, really. But I’m going to have to keep going because even though I have headlights and I know they illuminate at night, it’s not nice to camp at night. I’d like to get a good view of the volcano. The project has to continue with or without a rearview camera these days. It got lost for a reason too, right? I don’t know. I always try to look on the bright side of things, although sometimes it’s hard in these situations, but maybe they protected me from a fall. Maybe because I turned around, this is what’s going to lose me, family. I don’t know how much gas I have left. Uh, I lost quite a bit of gas. Hmm, I don’t like it at all, uh, having lost so much gas. Let’s think, let’s recalculate. I’m almost out of gas. 178 to Route 40 because here I had gas up to here and it was losing, and I didn’t think it lost that much. It lost, it lost quite a bit. It’s just that everything is a sum of things that mess with your head. I’m supposedly three-quarters of the way there. Oh, no, no, no. I think I have to reach the route, and with this too. Let’s see if we can tie it down a little more. So I don’t keep losing. How crazy, I’ve never been so lost. I choose to believe. Let’s keep going. By the way, the sun has almost set, and psychologically and emotionally, I’m not at a 10. I’m at, I don’t know, but not at a 10, I’ll be at a six. Now all I want is to get a good grip on the route, to be able to set up the tent, at least with a little view of the volcano. So, oh God, I swear, please never come here again. I beg you. Just come if you’re up for some fun and adventure. I don’t know, I’ll say this now, and when I’m with the tent on the volcano, it’ll all make sense. But if you tell me now, I’ll tell you not to come. Oh my God. Please, I want to rest. I feel exhausted. The rest has already happened. Now the job is to find a place to camp, spend a good night, get settled tomorrow, and continue to Mendoza. That’s the only thing that matters. Now I’m motivating myself. Yes, because this road is a [ __ ] Sorry, but it is. Okay, now yes, family, I’ve reached the point where I left off before, it’s 7 in the evening. Oh, my God. No, no, no, family, I’ve never suffered so much from a saw. My hands and arms are already hurting. It feels like I’m using one of those cement drilling machines on the street. I’m going very calmly to save the fuel from before. The sun has already set, and look at those beautiful clouds. I’m trying to connect positively. Now I understand why Colo told me, “It’s probably going to be on Highway 180.” No, that route. No, now I understand Colo. I don’t think he said that because he couldn’t do it, but because he knew the flagpole wasn’t going to last at all. So terrible. Look up there. Oh, God. Give me a break, please. I’m begging you, please. Wow, I can’t believe it, family. Look at the payun. Look at the colors of the sunset there, all reddish. Oh, how beautiful, how beautiful to be up there now. And now all I have to do is find where the road veers to the right and I can continue straight ahead. At any detour, it’s better to be safe than sorry. I’m going to check my phone. But anyway, I’m a little calmer now, family. I hope tonight is a very peaceful, very beautiful night and that it allows me to rest well so I can cover several kilometers tomorrow. Well, I’ve reached the road. At the fork. This is the path I have to take to camp in front of the payun, which I don’t know if you’ll see its shadow; it’s all black. And from here, to the right, you continue as if you were heading for Nihuil. How wonderful to have found this detour, huh? Now all that’s left is to continue along this path a little further, a stretch until we more or less like the view. We can’t see much, but we’ll be able to see the shadow of the payun, or that one over there. I don’t know if you’ll see it. I see it because of the light behind us . It’s all pretty cloudy. If there were stars and maybe the moon came out, since it was a full moon, you’d be able to see everything, I think. I still have faith because it might clear up and you might be able to see something, I don’t know. That would be great. Okay, family, I’ve arrived, I’ve arrived in front of the payun. The payun is over here on the right. Now we won’t see it, obviously, because it’s nighttime, but it’s there. Now the challenge is to camp over here. The challenge is to find a hole drinkable enough that isn’t full of rocks. That’s going to be a real challenge because I’m very tired. It’s already 9 p.m. I’ve been on the road for a while now. I left at 7 a.m. and it’s 9 a.m., so, figure, 14 hours. Here it looks good. Here it looks flat, so we can’t afford to fall. Now we all know it’s going to be a real struggle to get it up, and I don’t even think I can get it up. Look, I like this esplanade here. Let’s put up some Andes. Ah, up front. Got it. Now, put up the tent. Okay, family, the first thing I’m going to do— I should have done it a long time ago—is put gas in beforehand, but, well, on the road I had a lot of things to think about, a lot of stimuli, a lot of unknowns, and it just didn’t occur to me. But hey, it’s better to put it on now than tomorrow because who knows who’s telling you I’ll drop the jerry can and lose the little gas I have. I’ll leave the Andes full for tomorrow and set up camp. Now, family, I’m already at my little house across from Payun Volcano, transferring files from the GoPro 11 here to the computer, because, well, you know, we left it on the road at 7. It was a very emotional day, a day where I was pretty much at the limit, you’ll have noticed. I was close to tears, I swear, there was a moment when I couldn’t take it anymore, I didn’t know what to do, but anyway, I think I made the right decision. We achieved the objective and mission for today, which was to get here. So, well, let’s hope for a calm night. Uh, it was hard for me to set up the tent because, as you can see, it’s windy and sometimes there are stronger gusts. But anyway, we’re here freeing up memory to continue documenting tomorrow. And in these moments, sometimes it’s necessary to feel that warm embrace of home, of a mother. So, well, I’m going to eat this granola. I won’t be making dinner because I can’t do any more, but I’m going to eat this granola my mom made. Mmm, it has all the nutrients and makes me feel like I’m snuggled up at home. I swear, I don’t have the strength for anything else. The motorcycle was buried outside; I couldn’t move it, I left it there. Tomorrow is another day. I’ll unload the bones, I’ll get it out. Luckily, I’m close to the road, but oh well, nothing, family, we gave it our all today. Please, it’s already 4:20 in the morning, family. The wind is starting to want to ease. Let’s cross it, fingers crossed. But it started at 2 in the morning, and I’ve been in this position for two hours, playing tent because the tent won’t hold up. Well, let’s hope it dies down soon and I can get some more sleep. It’s 7:20 in the morning, and look at the state of my face. Everything dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty. It’s all full of sand. I came back last night. I also filled the bag with sand. Everything full of And well, I’m trying to wait for it to loosen up a little as much as possible, for the sun to come out a little to revive the spirit or at least a little bit of clarity because it’s cloudy, I think, and take down the whole tent and get out of here sooner because honestly this is being torture. Okay, family, it’s clear now. The wind eased a little, so I’m taking advantage of it to pack everything up quickly. I already packed the bags, everything is ready. Look what’s left of my jacket. It was white. It’s all there. Look at the tent. I have the payunia inside my tent. So okay, family, there I’ll be showing you why I did all this when I unzip The tent, but I’ll tell you right now that for everything I suffered in the conditions we had, it’s not worth it either. Because it wasn’t the best sunrise, it wasn’t the best night, it was all pretty tough, but hey, not all adventures have to be a bed of roses. Or we do know that when we go on an adventure these things can happen. That was one of those adventures where you resist and don’t give up. So, well, I’m going to show you the view I have here at the door of my house. Good morning, Andes. Good morning. Well, welcome to Payunia, family. Well, family, I managed to take everything down without anything blowing away. Look, I have the bags there. The tent is back there. We have Payun there, the volcano, and obviously here, the faithful companion who left everything to get here. With these views, I’m closing this video here. Now I have to focus on moving forward, continuing towards Mendoza City, where they’ll be servicing Andes; she left everything. But we still have several kilometers to go to get out of here. We have to find the way. Hey, we have to fight this wind a bit. We have to get out of here . Look how the wheel was last night. It was completely buried in the volcanic sand, but that’s in the next video. So, thank you so much for joining me on this adventure today . It was very difficult. I’ve never suffered so much from a saw, I’ve never suffered so much during a night in a tent. It was one of the toughest adventures and experiences that I wouldn’t choose to repeat. I’m one of those who enjoy beautiful adventures. I think we all like them, but, well, sometimes things get complicated and happen, but the important thing is to keep going, to remain steadfast , and never get lost in this and everything in life. So, from here, I send you a big hug along with my dearest Payun, and I’ll see you on the good roads. Ciao. Ciao.
Dormí solo frente a un volcán en plena cordillera, sin saber que esa noche iba a ser una de las más intensas de mi vida. El viento Zonda apareció de golpe y casi me vuela la carpa…
No sabía si resistir, salir corriendo o quedarme encerrado esperando que pase la tormenta. Estaba completamente solo, en medio de la nada, y cada minuto se sentía eterno.

Aguante Gasti!! Siempre hay recompensa después de tanto sacrificio!! Admirable trabajo!!
hola gasti a que velocidad estas viajando ?
Qué día tan duro. Siento mucho que hayas perdido la cámara trasera. Pero aun así, no te dejaste vencer. ¡Mucha suerte! Seguiré esta gran aventura.
Te recibió el zondita de Mendoza a toda maquina! Que buena aventura, a pesar de las dificultades!!
Picun Leufu de ahí es el Chori jaajjajaa
Solo para entendidos!!!
Gasti, sufrí 37 min. ese ripio nos hizo parir. Q co….nes tenés!!! Solo espero que la Pacha t acompañe y permita disfrutar de esos lugares maravillosos!!! SI QUE LO DISTE TODOOOOO!!!!
¡Gracias!
que grande!! gracias por compartir <3
Vamos Gasti, lo diste todo hermano. Muy Buen video!! Buenas rutas siempre 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Hola amigo!! Que mala suerte lo de la camara che 😢 pero bueno, a seguir con todo hermano 💪
Qué lindo sería poder encontrarte en Mendoza…
Hola gasti, te recomiendo algo para el mastil, yo tube ese problema hace años y lo solucione muy facil, se le pone en el interior un hierro de 4 o 5 mm de esos de contruccion que van en el hormigon, entonces si se llega a partir de nuevo no se rompe del todo y queda ahi, no se cae, no se sale no nada, en el interior si suponete mide 60 cm pones la mitad y ahi se queda de por vida y no hace falta que luego lo sueldes vasta con poner loctite o soldadura en frio y listo
Otra cosa hermano, veo que vas muy sentado, el cerrucho lo tenes que pasar parado tenes la moto para hacerlo, yo creo que parte de tu cansansio es eso tambien, la mala postura que te destroza los riñones, por otro lad y despues de verte pasar la noche asi me recordo una noche dentro del volcan galan en catamarca y si…. es lindo despues, la anegdota en el momento uno tiene un poco de capca (cagaso pre catastrofe) jajajaja un abrazo desde Tucuman
Uh Gasty!!! Que bajon la cámara y el mástil!!! Será ejercitar el "soltar"
