NERVES ARE WEARING THIN! - Van Life Patagonia

- We can't take to much more. We really need a break from these bumpy bouncy chattery loud roads. They just won't seem to end and with the strong Patagonia winds we are on our last nerve. Maybe, crossing the border from Argentina into Chile in Chile Chico will be a change for the better. At least we are heading back into the Andes Mountains. Oh, but that means norrow winding roads with steep drop offs. Here we go again!
Thanks for watching, we need your support now more than ever!
Cheers
Snow and Curt

The Soundtrack on your videos is so fantastic . It has a good sound and always fits the scene , since day 1 your videos are this way !! Great people , great production of a great life !! Those kitties are wonderful also !!!!! I just adore G and Vanna !!!!
Omgosh, nothing on earth more majestic and beautiful than the, southern, chilean mountians along the coast. Mostly, south of punta areneas. Ive been to the cape. And yea, the wind down there can be freaking crazy. No doubt 😊
EATING THE FRUIT IN THE CUSTOM CHECKING...I´VE DONE THAT TOO
Yep! That's my banana dang it! 🤣🤣🤣
That condors scene shooting was truly epic. The type of luxury you may get for traveling in a van by yourself.
Puma’s are afraid of humans & so you were quite safe Snow. I watched one in my city that had come down island looking for food & we here in Victoria, BC 🇨🇦 have a lot of what are referred to as city deer. The only problem was it was seen near an elementary school & a major park so the he police got involved until the conservation officers got there. The cougar which is of course another name also used for these cats, ran through people’s yard & around apartment buildings & was eventually cornered in a parking garage where they sedated him & trucked him far up island. I knew to hat they were afraid of adult humans because our island has the largest amount of these cats in the world, so you learn what to do & not to do, but I was still surprised to see it cower & run & hide. They are absolutely beautiful cats, love cats even the big ones😁❤️
We are oldsters in Colorado who love your travel videos. You show us places we will never be able to visit in this lifetime. We're glad Snow is doing so well since her health scare. Be safe and keep the videos coming. Jax and Don
Happy to have you two along for the ride with us!
Holy moly that’s a big bird!
I don't know how you stand it. We only drive 5 miles on dirt roads to our home, and my heart skips beats for hours afterwards... every time. It's exhausting. Hugs.
Beautiful-some parts look like the Himalayan foot hills-stay safe guys -love following your travels 🙏love &light -Jita(India-69years young)😊
I have to say, I like the jungle covered mountains better than all rock. The visuals are at times breathtaking though. Be safe!
Hi both
Thank you for this video . I was sent photographs a few years ago of Patagonia and it looked very pretty there. Quite a few people go there on holiday in Uk as they speak the native Welsh Language. The scenery there is gorgeous and you cannot beat the views there
Much love and respect from over the pond in Uk x
Thank you for taking us along. Snow looks healthier back to the original Snow when the trip begins. Keep up and keep on going!
Those views are stunning. Could you ever look at it long enough? It is so gorgeous.
If it wasn't for the wind, we would still be there! LOL!!!
Aww G-Money! At 23.26 it sounds like he’s begging Curt to stop “Now?” He ‘s such a cool cat!
Very special experience seeing those condors, wow.
Beautiful!!!!!! Absolutely gorgeous!!!
That lake is such a gorgeous, deep blue. If it looks like that through your camera, I can only imagine what it looks like in person. Awesome!
It is one of the prettiest lakes I have ever seen!
Beautiful sights, great summing up of the adventures and situations encountered...and yes....while talking on the horrible road, I was laughing at the a_a_a_a_a_a_a_a_ sound! 😂🤣😅🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Epic, splendid and amazing ❤❤❤
Wow great views!! 🔥 love the dash cam cat ♥️
First time I see Kurt being so serious 😮... Scary! 😂😂
Right?! He was DONE!
I know the roads were rough but thank you for the views! The lakes are stunning! Some views and the towns remind me of the western slope of Colorado.
Thanks for watching
Amazing views, but my hands were sweating the entire time! You can still be that little kid over bumpy roads, Snow 😊
I couldn't help it!! But, Curt was done laughing for the day 🤣🤣🤣
Oh, those roads make my teeth rattle!
Wow beautiful sights and delicious looking salad enjoy and safe travels y'all cheers.
The constant wind can play with your nerves and detract from the beauty around but each day north you are a little closer to the heat and still air. As you turn on the switch and your trusty dual turbocharged diesel comes to life each morning, a new destination awaits. Keep your spirits up. Just like the rocky bumpy trails you conquer trekking to glacier lakes, these windy, landslide ready roads are testing you. Soon you will reflect and say, glad that is over.
Perfectly said!!
Beautiful scenery! Scary roads but you two can handle it, if anyone can. I am enjoying living vicariously through your travels!
I watched your latest video and then kept watching all the way to the Lima Peru video and what a contrasting video from those videos to now. 😮
Yep... We've been thru some changes!
I actually think that the Albatross is the world's largest flyer (by wingspan not by weight) with wingspans averaging 12 ft. ; but, pretty cool to see those condors in their element. Love the flamingoes.
Hi Snow and Kurt. Puma area is big. I live in Paraná, Brasil, and yes we have pumas. Here they are called Onças. Onça parda, onça preta and onça pintada(the ones you saw in Mato Grosso). They are all here, although we rarely see one. The gate keepers in our condominium saw them all. Always at night.
So cool!
You all are knocking down some serious hours behind the wheel.
It was a LOOOONG day for sure... not something we like, but the camps with wind protection are few and far between... and you NEED wind protection down here!
Love to see the world 🌎 thru your channel ! Keep living your dream ! I hope that one day I too will join that club 😊
You can do it!
Breath taking beautiful!! Snow you do a wonderful job story telling.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Breathtaking views thank you for taking us along. Those two kitties are beyond precious ❤❤
Beautiful!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
24:51 😮😍 do y’all feel like you’re waking up in a dream?? Goodness gracious!! What.a.view!!!
Every day!!
Watching 👀 your journey keeps me alive. Can't physically do what you are doing. But, ...grateful to follow your travels.. love your world.. thank you
Thanks so much! Happy to have you along for the journey!
hi guys ave a good day
You guys are so much fun to travel with! Your videos are so polished n professional, a real treat. Thank you both....n safe travels.❤
Thanks so much! 😊
I was on the edge of my seat while you were driving that road!! The view was beautiful…the color of the lake water. Thank you!!
Thanks for watching
Dang, some of those drop offs made my stomach turn to watch. So brave you are to be out there. Stunning scenery and those condors!
Thank you for another beautiful beautiful drive be safe love you
Wow what fantastic views along that road. Ye did some great driving love seeing the kitties tagging along 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
I hold my breathe every time you are driving on roads like that!
So glad your parked up for the night,with spectacular views xx
OMG!!! We're back in those Andes again!!! ...OMG!!! those views are soooo stunning ... again ... lol ... OMG!!! That water is shockingly blue. You two are so courageous and curious, where are we headed this time? 😺💜
You will see it on Saturday.... It is an epic destination!!!
I like seeing more of your "on board" menus.
Poor Kurt, never saw him like he'd just had about enough 😢❤😊😊, you guys do great!!. I, in the other hand would go for risk free adventures😂😂😂.
Stunning video.
Many thanks!
Thanks for the video. So beautiful scenery, animals and birds.
Glad you enjoyed it
Interesting how many tourist buses find their way to these isolated areas. So beautiful!
I know, right?
Love you guys. I noticed your column was lower than usual.
Thank you
You're welcome
My hat’s off to you guys, 9 hrs of rough roads, that’s enough to make your brain hurt! I have never seen Curt go silent, but, I understand! The views were stunning but, what a trip! Hope your tour is more enjoyable, looking forward to it! 💕🇨🇦
It's rare .. but he was done! 😊🤣
Hola 👋 from New Mexico 🌶️...Sure enjoyed the trip...Boy those Condor's are huge😮. Thanks!
Yes they are
It’s a good thing both of you drive. These roads would get very tiring! Another good vid.
YES THEY DO!
Great video xx
Thank you!!
The lakes, mountains, and condors were amazing. But, I cracked up watching Snow eat that banana in fast motion. Lol.
Love you guys!
😁 she wasn't getting my banana! 🤣🤣
Fantástico views!! God bless you both and your kittens.
Thank you! You too!
I know wash-board...and that many hours on what I could hear was a rough one, is so exhausting on the body. I feel your pain. But you made it, relax and enjoy the next part of your adventure. Cheers! Robi
Sensational views at the end of long & narrow dusty roads! Stay safe! ❤️
Thank you! Will do!
Snow, Curt wasn't having any part of your conversation. By this time he'd had it on that road. 😂 even G was right behind Curt saying enough already!! Just curious, how many miles do you have on the van?
Yep... Curt and G were DONE!! 🤣🤣 Almost 60,000 miles!
Just a stunning drive, the views were incredible and to me it would be well worth driving on that bumpy gravel road if I were to do that trip.
Great views what a place to be in living the dream
I was born in Patagonia Argentina 65 years ago, I live in Ohio now…who knew?
I wonder how you got your van and your cats to Argentina where “burocracia” is imposible to navigate!
Safe travels and enjoy the beautiful views, Alfajores and empanadas! Don’t forget to try “la torta galesa” typical of Patagonia!
THey built some new 'roads' down here in the 90's and 2000's ---- we crossed at Chile Chico, which means we avoided burocracia area.
👍🤩💝Fantastic! I usually love traveling alone but I love that you guys take us along with you. You guys are looking great. The videos and editing are absolutely terrific. I can’t wait to see the secret cove. I’m looking forward to duplicating y’alls experiences personally. Thank you for sharing your journey. 🙏🤩💝
Oh my, Snow you made me brust out laughing when you were narrating on that crazy, washboard road. We could clearly hear how bad it was without the "ahaing"! You definitely know how to see the silver lining, Snow. Poor Curt, bad road surfaces, very steep drops to the lake below, his nerves must have been done. No wonder he wasn't ready to see the silver lining with you Snow. I hope the rest of the roads in Chile are a bit smoother. Safe travels, 🤗🇨🇦
Spoiler: no, they won‘t. At least not until Cerro Castillo. The road north of Puerto Rio Tranquilo is even worse than the one from Chile Chico to Rio Tranquilo.
We are counting down the miles/km until Cerro Castillo!!!
Wow such a beautiful place!❤
It really is!
Hang in there - this too will pass, but the memories will not :) Thank you for the videos! Love them.
Thank you so much!
Amazing adventure, thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
OMG! Those sheer drop offs are nail biting! 😅 Can’t get used to it as I continue to be mesmerized by your vids! Loving your Vida Loca!! thank you!
Glad you like them!
First! Sending you two supportive vibes!! 😻😻🥰
Yay! Thank you!
Snow said that you had left the little town in Argentina of La Antigua. I couldn't find any La Antigua, Argentina next to that border, but I did find Los Antiguos, which is a town in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, located on the south shore of Lago Buenos Aires. It lies 2 km from the border with Chile, and 8 km from the Chilean town of Chile Chico.
IMO, 9 hours is too long for a driving day - you must have been shattered by the end. The view at minute 09:45 was mind-blowing. Those colours! But then, at 21:15, it got eclipsed again - what topography you travelled through today!
My wife and I enjoy your travels through South America. Thank you for sharing your adventures.😊
Glad you like them!
You guys are tough! Looks like spectacular views.
They are!
Wow! quels beaux paysages.
Wow, what a beautiful drive that was with such a great place to stop for lunch and enjoy the incredible view of the beautiful lake and spectacular mountains!
Glad you enjoyed it
Sorry that you had to drive those roads...but amazing footage!!!!
Kurtz right that would be nerve-racking. Good thing you had a coffee stop those pastries did look good and the lakes almost like an indigo blue beautiful pictures, safe journeys.
The town you passed in Argentina, just before entering Chile, is called Los Antiguos. I spent about 7 months going back and forth to Chile Chico, 4 weeks there and 1 week home, and it was dreadful. This was back in 2006/07 and on the weekends, we couldn't find a place to eat (not that there were any wonderful eateries during the week). I was on a project in a silver mine called Cerro Bayo, right by the first lake your showed, called Laguna Verde.
Going there we took a different route: We would fly to a Chilean city of Balmaceda, from there immediately cross the border to Argentina and drive 6 hours on a semi-existing dirt road to Los Antiguos and soon after, crossing again into Chile, arriving in Chile Chico.
Going back home was a nightmare. There were two choices: Drive back to Balmaceda but the border would be closed until 8 AM, and the only flight out of Balmaceda left at 10:30 AM. Considering the 6 hour trip there it was not feasible. That caused us to leave Chile Chico in the afternoon, drive to Los Antiguos before the border closed, spend the night there and leave to Balmaceda around 3 AM, because by the time we got there it woulf be 9:30 and the border would be open.
Option two: We could board a ferry that crossed the lake (4 hours) and hope there was no wind because one of my colleagues did that and, as the wind started blowing they had to pull the ferry to the bank, to avoid the big waves, and his crossing took 8 hours. The ferry crossing was terrible any way. the cars and trucks were packd so tightly that we couldn't exit the vehicles if our lives depended on it. We would then drive to Coihaique (or something like that) spend the night and go to Balmaceda in the morning for the flight. Keep in mind that aal that, going or coming, happened after or before a very long flight from/to California.
It was, however, a trip into the past for me, thank you.
That is an amazing story... I cannot imagine the stress of your trips home!! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you ❤ lovely pictures and colors , drive safe .
It's such an amazing view from that roadside, but I'm pretty sure I'd be crying the whole way through it. lol!!!
Right?!
The driving has been so challenging this time. Fantastic views and wonderful memories for you both. Love watching your videos and look forward to each one ❤
Thanks so much
❤ the lake views, I'm speechless ❤ x

Now that truly was 'epic'! Have driven lots of those washboard roads; was always advised to go at speed so the tyres don't have time to sink into the ruts! Wouldn't advocate that on the roads you are on though... YAM xx
We tried all the speeds.... None of them worked 🤣🤣🤣
Enjoyed seeing kitties!!! And views!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a beautiful places you travel. It’s nice to come along with you!!! ❤
Glad you enjoyed it
We just did this same roads, chile is rough too ... but beautiful views
Rough.... But the memories will be worth it!
