Blog 5 / Start with Camper / Crossing the Andes Mountains

Objavljeno: 12.01.2020

On January 8th, we finally start for real - we take over our camper. The whole procedure, including all the paperwork to be able to drive to Argentina, takes some time.

The next day, one of the highlights of our journey is already waiting for us, the crossing of the Andes mountains via the pass 'Christ the Redeemer of the Andes' - a dream of Gerhard's since middle school.

The information about the drivability of the Chilean side is conflicting, which makes it even more exciting - but after a challenging part of the track with 4WD LOW, we finally reach the top - in the icy cold storm... The view from almost 4000 meters above sea level of the surrounding Andes mountains is amazing!

January 8th, eventually we can start with the rental camper. taking over procedures, especially paperwork for Crossing into Argentina takes its time.

Next day we are expecting the first highlight of our tour - Crossing the Andes mountains via the pass 'Christ, the redeemer of the Andes' - somehow has been a Dream of Gerhard since his School days.

Information about trafficability of the Chile part of the road are not clear - increasing the anticipation. Finally we reach the monument on a partly challenging road - requiring 4WD LOW - and stand in freezing cold storm. But the view to the surrounding mountains from the height of nearly 4000 meters is simply said - great!

Aus der Wüstendurchquerung nach Tamanrasset ist eine Andenüberquerung geworden. Phantastische Entscheidung! Die Fahrt über den Hohen Atlas seinerzeit war offensichtlich ein Klax verglichen mit der Tour am Aconcagua vorbei. In Mendoza habt Ihr dann ein Gläschen Wein verdient!
