Hi, I'm riding from Santiago de Chile to the beautiful islands of Chiloe next week. I'm content to ride alone, but would also love company. I am a pretty strong rider but am on vacation for another month in Chile and could also take my time. It's about 500 miles/800km (I think) and I estimate it would take about six days. I might camp, or see about staying in people's homes or in hostels.

I have a hospedaje in Ancud where I am planning on staying for the rest of my trip and biking Chiloe from there. If you are in Santiago, or will be soon, consider this option...better than the bus...and passing though Temuco, Valdivia, Los Angeles and other beautiful and interesting Chilean towns.
