Day 625 – South America – Chile [Lirquen to Huarilihue]

06/01/22

45km

  From Lirquen (Chile) to Huarilihue (Chile)

South America

A very hilly run, sunshine, gravel road and quiet country road – to the wine valley

Reaching Tome from the hilly road

I set out on the coastal road again this morning, it was quite chilly, just above 12 Celsius – cold for my standards! It was soon to get hot again – but in the morning though we are at sea level now, clouds hanging low on the trees and it was foggy as I launched on the road. As I approached Tome, after the uphill, I was treated with great views of the bay and the beach in the morning sun. Awesome!

Tome by the Ocean coast

Then came the second part of the run, with even more uphill, from sea level up the hills of Tome. The road was a gravel one, surrounded by forests of pine trees and eucalyptus too. Every now and then, there will be an opening – where the forest had recently been chopped for logging. Other than that, it was very green and beautiful.

Crossing into a new region

Then I came back onto a surfaced road: the Conquistador road. This road runs across three regions, I am not sure if it retraces the real road the Spanish invaders took back in the days… couldn’t find the answer on Google! Anyway it was a very quiet and beautiful country road with a wide enough shoulder for me to safe. James joined me on his bike and enjoyed the ride and the scenery as much as I did I think. Tomorrow is a rest day for me and we’ll be staying in a countryside lodge which produces some local wines. Interesting!
