In this video, we’re sharing what a day in the life looks like during our bikepacking trip from Patagonia to Alaska. We combined some clips from our time cycling the Ruta de Los Siete Lagos in Argentina’s Lake District. Fall was upon us and we really enjoyed the changing of seasons and foliage all around us… Enduring some rain and cold spells is a price we’re happy to pay for witnessing autumn in Argentina 🙂 Thanks for watching! We’re so grateful for your support.

All right! I woke up and saw our tent this morning and thought it was completely covered
in slugs. Slug attack! They weren't actually slugs, but it looks like it.
Mr. Brown, a pancake with dulce de leche.
It's a drizzly wet morning today. We had a lot of rain through the night,
but it seems to have stopped now, so I think it should be clear for us to ride. We do have
more rain coming in tonight and maybe all day tomorrow. We'll see what happens.
We're really in the heart of fall now. Our landscapes went from like green and
brown in the south, but now it's yellow and orange. It's definitely in fall.
Here's the beautiful fall.
We have face of struggle in there. I'm really good at that, just blocking out all the bad things.
Like a few people have said, oh you've been traveling for so long, what's like the worst
thing that's happened? I'm like, oh, like nothing. I've been having a great time. Oh wait, actually,
wait a minute. Lost my phone, lost my wallet, stayed at some pretty dodgy places.
You lost your wallet? Yeah, it got pickpocketed in Mexico. Don't say Colombia,
I think we've started a ride.
Is that the cheeses?
I'm going to go back. I forgot my phone. They're beautiful.
Hello, how are you?
Good, where are you from? I'm from the United States. I live in Belgium with my husband.
Do you like Argentina? Yeah, it's beautiful.
Beautiful country.
Up and down, up and down.
Yeah.
My pedal just fell off while I was riding. The bearings are failing on it.
It's just worn out, so it doesn't turn quite right anymore, causing it to unspin itself.
But it's totally stuck and jammed up.
When it popped off, it partly stripped the threads,
so it didn't want to go back in. But thankfully, I got it, and it's actually
spinning somewhat freely now. Fortunately, we only got to go 100 and some kilometers,
and then we're in El Bolson, so just got to make it a little bit further.
She's cranky this morning.
All right, we found a beautiful, amazing campsite for tonight.
Thanks to iOverlander, we're going to go down this pathway here and enjoy our night.
Do it, do it, do it, go, yes, oh.
All right, we did it. We swam in the freezing cold water. I want to make this more of a habit,
cleaning it off, jumping in any body of water that we can, because that's a part of the
outdoor experience. Being uncomfortable, but this is our home tonight. Beautiful.
One of our best campsites yet.
Is it like a falcon? Yeah, like an American falcon. Oh, beautiful.
I have no idea what that is.
