Overlanding Chile: Wild Atacama Sprinter Van Ride to 15,639ft - Southbound 63

From Bolivia to Chile at 15,270ft, our Pan Am trip levels up! Customs is a breeze (RIP our produce), and paved roads feel like a gift after washboard hell. We check out the Hand of the Desert, crash by the Pacific, and resupply in Copiapo—fresh veggies are back, baby!

The Andes call next: San Francisco Pass at 15,639ft into Argentina. Slot canyons, kayaking, and a van tow keep it spicy. Want more overlanding thrills? Hit like, subscribe, and stick with us for the ride south!
