GPS Sampler

Throughout the trip my GPS, a Garmin Zumo 665, was logging a track.  The image below shows the extent of the ride, from Lima, Peru, in the north to Patagonia, Argentina, in the south.  To put the distance I rode into perspective, it is almost exactly like driving from Seattle to D.C., back to Seattle, then back to D.C. (except the roads were way more fun).

The entire 13,420 km (8,339 miles).

This is the 29 Curves section of the climb over Paso Los Libertadores, from Chile towards Peru, just north of Santiago, Chile.  I was able to enjoy this tasty bit of asphalt on two occasions!  Here is the raw footage for this section:

 

This section of road is between Nasca, Peru, and Abancay, Peru.

Coming down off the Altiplano in Peru, between Puna, Peru and Moquegua, Peru.

You can see that a lot of road miles does not necessarily mean a lot of distance covered!
