Day 36: El Calafate - Torres del Paine (Chile) (434km)
Car collection As the Inca Trail pushes further south towards Ushuaia and Tierra del Fuego, we're beginning to say farewell to the Andes: the Torres del Paine are their dramatic final fling. Taxi! Inigo Paternina is looking forward to being reunited with his and Jose Capristano's Porsche 356B. They've not had the best of luck. When they had problems before the start in Rio, a new engine was fitted. Then more problems - and a second new engine: fitted in Lima. But to their despair that one seized too, and the car has been transported to Comodoro Rivadavia for another transplant. Meanwhile, friends of Inigo were to have met him to carry the crew around the rally route - but they failed to show up. Undeterred, Inigo secured the services of a local taxi driver 'fortunately we get on just fine' - who will be driving 4,500km with the rally until we reach Comodoro Rivadavia ... Wonder how much his tip will be? |
