About Stefan

I'm a telecommunication engineer by profession and like to discover the world by bike. I think, that it is the perfect speed to move but still be in touch with the world and the people which live there. And I'm very happy, that my wife Susanna is joining me now on those adventures. If you are interested in other journeys we did so far, please also check my website www.biketravel.net. Stefan, Switzerland

Conclusion

I’m now since a few days in Ushuaia and it’s time for a conclusion about this bike adventure. What stays at the end are of course the positive things, which anyway are the majority. However, before I forget or block out the negative things, I’m writing them down here as well 😉 What I’m not going to miss Traffic During all this travelling time, mostly just by myself, I never had any security issues at all; except with traffic. From […]

Final Destiny: Tolhuim – Ushuaia

After more than 2’648km, I reached on Friday Ushuaia. This after a last time wild camping and a ride through a nice mountain landscape in sunny weather (Pictures will follow later on). So that’s it. It feels kind of strange that I’m not moving on tomorrow. Now I just have to figure out, how I bring my bike and trailer back to Switzerland. Suggestions for that are still very welcome. The cycling was somehow easier ;-). I will write an […]


Rio Grande – Tolhuim

[singlepic id=218 w=320 h=240 float=left]I have to say, I was very lucky. I had tailwind for a bigger part and almost no wind for the rest. Only for the last few km into Tolhuim, I had some headwind. And therefore I’am, surprisingly already in Tolhuim :-). I’m having a rest day here because it’s anyway rainy today but planning on heading towards Ushuaia on Thursday. I do not expect to have again tailwind because this part of the route goes […]


Punta Arenas – Rio Grande

After reaching the most southern city on the South American continent, I moved on towards Ushuaia and reached on Sunday evening Rio Grande (AR). I did not take the standard path through San Sebastion but went through Onaisis – Cameron – Rio Grande – Radman (Border) – Rio Grande (AR) instead. Border crossing in Radman is no problem but there is a river to cross just before the Argentinian border control. The river is between 10-15m wide and between half […]


Penguines – Isla Magdalena

[singlepic id=193 w=320 h=240 float=left]This Monday morning, I went to the Isla Magdalena which is home of several 10’000 Magellan Penguines. For this I had to already be at the travel agency in Punta Arenas at 6.50 in the morning. From there we drove to the boat which brought us within 30 minutes through a kind of rough sea to the island. For around 60 minutes we had the chance to walk between  Penguines which was really great. Much better […]
