Being in the RIGHT PLACE at the RIGHT TIME // EP.77

Sometimes things work out and one is in the right place at the right time, call it luck or...
We got down from the mountain after several days stucked in snow. we wanted to rest in the camping in Chos Malal. But our Land Rover had another plans. After hearing bad noises coming from the engine bay, Kai put the alternator apart and saw that one of the bearings broke and partially got melted. after repairing it, we could finally rest.
Sometimes one has the feeling of running out of luck, this was one of those moments. what we didn't know is how this would affect our journey the next days.
As we continue towards Salto del Agrio and Caviahue, temperatures start to drop and precipitation hits us.
What it looked like a short weather front, it turned into the last big snow storm of the season.
Join us in the video where we land in Winter Wonderland around Villa Pehuenia and the Batea Mahuida volcano. Sleeping between snow and Araucarias.
Enjoy the Ride!
