Aurora Austral - Husky Farm
Our visit with Konrad and Emilie and their 36 huskies will remain unforgettable for us. After spending the night on their premises, we were ready as agreed at eight o'clock for the husky training drive and kennel visit adventure.
Konrad explained a few basic facts about the various sled dog breeds beforehand. As we didn't want to be out too late with the team in too warm weather, they started soon with the preparations.
Konrad informed us about training, feeding, breeding and his experiences with dogs. He also told us that the dogs just want to run. They forget everything else.
Chile: Curanipe, Arcos de Calan & Iglesia de Piedra

Paso Pehuenche - Argentina to Chile
The drive over the Paso Pehuenche was interesting and varied. Tarred roads with many crash barriers, which were damaged or torn away by falling rocks or debris. Gauchos on horseback herding herds with their dogs, lonely farmsteads, magnificent Andean landscape with crystal clear, deep blue lakes. We were thrilled.
Argentina: Zonda Almacen & Uco Valley

See and be seen
In Gualeguaychú, we re-entered Argentina from Uruguay.
We noticed that, especially in the late afternoon and late into the evening, local families spend hours driving around the Rambla (promenade) in their often old or very old cars.
Uruguay: Montevideo, MACA and Mini Starlink

On the road in Uruguay
Long, straight highways through huge fruit fields, lots of oncoming trucks. We found it especially when the navigation system indicated the next intersection in 100 kilometers.
Uruguay is known for political and economic stability. In addition to agriculture, the country focuses on IT- and Software- services.

Capybaras
are friendly and relaxed giant guinea pigs. They can weigh up to 50 kg and have a body length of approx. 1.4 meters. One of the remarkable things about Capybaras is their social behavior. They live in large groups of up to 20 individuals with a dominant male and several females and their pups.
The capybaras are excellently adapted to the wet element:

Goiás Velho and Pirenópolis, BR
A journey into the past. These small towns with cobblestone streets are well preserved and keep the atmosphere of the 19th century with their colonial houses.
A peaceful atmosphere prevails in Goiás Velho. Which is more than can be said for Pirenopolis. As the most important recreational area in the city of Brasilia, there is a real hustle and bustle with its many restaurants and bars. Tables are set out on the Rua do Lazer (the street of leisure) and the very active nightlife is visited by many people.
