From Ancud to Osorno, Chile

My motorcycle trip this time was from Ancud to Osorno on Chiloé Island, Chile.

It was about a 200km journey.

In order for me to cross from Chiloe Island to the South American continent, I need to take a ferry, so I will purchase a ticket in advance.

The ticket cost $15,000, or about USD 17.3.

I was lucky that I could pay online.

I leave Ancud

I’ll cross the bridge and head north

One lane here was closed due to construction.

In Chile, traffic is restricted over a large distance at a time, so we had to wait a long time.

After about 30 minutes, I arrive at Chacao, where the ferry terminal is located.

I board the ferry.

As passengers boarded, an attendant collected their boarding fare.

I had paid in advance, so all I had to do was scan the QR code and the transaction was complete.

The ferry departs

It’s so close that I can already see the other side.

We can relax on board

It seems that many ships pass through this strait.

I arrive at Pargua on the opposite shore in about 20 minutes.

I disembark the ferry.

All I have to do now is run along the road.

After about 25 minutes, I arrive at the first toll booth, Plaza de Peaje.

$900, or about USD 1.04.

After another 30 minutes or so, I arrived at the next toll booth, Peaje Troncal Puerto Montt.

Here I paid $300, or about USD 0.35.

I came across a Shell a little further ahead, so I decided to fill up on gas there before crossing.

V-Power 97 was $1.252/L, or about USD 1.44.

The next toll booth, Peaje Troncal Cuatro Vientos, costs $1,100, or about USD 1.27.

There’s nothing particularly interesting to see here.

I’m heading north.

And then I arrived at the last toll booth, Peaje Norte Osorno.

I paid $300 here, or about USD 0.35.

When I leave here, it’s Osorno.

I went straight and arrived at the Plaza de Armas.

My journey this time was a rather unexciting one, consisting solely of highway travel after getting off the ferry.

Before leaving Ancud, I was constantly worried that the chain I’d just retightened would come off, but somehow no problems occurred.

It looks like I’ll finally be able to replace the chain along with the sprocket.

By the way, the clutch pedal I glued in place last time is starting to sag, so I’m going to weld it.
