Say after the effort the Comfort comfort cheers so good as we take the road again  and drive through and out the Tes deline   National Park we are now heading full South  toward UA but we are not planning to drive

Alone we woke up at the border of the Rainy  Torres Del Pine National Park it’s now time to   drive all the way South yesterday evening our  friends Dario and Vanessa and their beautiful   troopy Rosie arrived so we’re going to drive  with them and we’re going to meet someone  

Else on this campsite we also met Sabrina  and Nick who travel with the new Defender   all gear up so it’s really cool but they’re  not coming with us they’re going all the way North ready to go all the  way house yes let’s go yep

In Chile the road to the South literally  ends after the city of Puna Arenas Sandy   Point a remote City far away in one of the  southern most inhabited corner of our planet   as we enter the urban area under the rain it  is not without reminding us some of the areas  

At the other end of the panamerican road  all the way back in Alaska we just saw a sign which is the road of the end of the world of  the world and so we started in Canada then went  

To the top of Alaska for the ones have been  following from then uh and that was around   September that we were all the way up in Alaska  and now in January just after New Year’s we are  

All the way down at the end of the world of the  pan amican almost Ina because our trip is longer   because our trip is like all the continents we  were thinking maybe we don’t like value enough   that one girl that is like driving the entire  panamerican but we see all the Travelers with  

Us that’s their one goal like Drive the entire  panamerican so we were discussing with Nick and   we were like that’s really cool you know like  we should be really happy about it and we are   it’s just that because the goal is bigger  like we tend to forget Mundo here we come  

Vindel Mundo we are not in punas for very long we  are looking for something very specific specific   like a kiwi traveler driving a white right  hand drive Defender oh seems like we found it all right is this it what’s

Up uh otherwise I just park here mat Reon  if you come even closer we could put this   on top of the one this is like Advan physics  we’ll drive a tiny bit [Music] back a lot of   calculations going on right now it’s uh  rocket science exactly and then we got  

To level the cars now it’s not over what do a  pilot a businessman a politician not possible   and a uh coder and another sales person are  you sales as well you no no legal legal legal perfect to push it in a little Tommy’s  like I want to put my own I got

Stuff so you’re a pool I’m a pool right now  what about my door Che cheers guys sorry cheers Che what have you been doing for the past  month and a half just cruising just driving   driving sisters yeah hanging out with my  three sisters reunited and fed we are now  

Ready to take the road to usua well reaching  USU is not as simple as there’s not really a   road to the road instead it will be by boat  that we will have to catch T again right now  

We are booking our ferry from uh penas which  is um very south uh Chile to go to the next   part of Chile which then brings us TOA so very  exciting because we’re that close to ending  

The panamerican and this close to arriving to  the end of the road you have to put two right Yeah vehicles are on this side [Music] our little crew made it on the ferry  They’re all playing around this way we have the   three cars down there now we’re crossing from Puna  Aras to foren so a bit of geography on this place  

I’ll add a map because it’s pretty complicated  now we’re basically in a Outpost of Chile only   accessible by Road from Argentina or by boat from  the other zones of Chile and we’re crossing to TI   fego the Big Island from the archipelago all  the way south in the South American country  

Continent and we’re going to arrive at porvenir  porvenir is a Chilean City still then we have to   cross one border reenter Argentina and we will  make it to usua the only way to connect this   region is to have good cooperation between Chile  and Argentina and good boots and this one runs

[Music] closly relax we almost arrived at  P what are you looking for forward to the   most see the Penguins King penguins oneing  penguins to get to the end of the road end   of the road I was going to say both  of those the end of the road End of  

The Road I’ve got another one I’ve got  another one being miserable because of   the wind and rain so there’s that there we go  high five we all looking for being miserable [Music] you guys look fake yeah Dar do you have any  comment what the hell what the hell now let’s explore Tio Al the on  that morning looking at our Convoy   bumping in every random Direction out of our  campsite I’m I’m not really sure they know the [Music] road [Music] n [Music] we officially exit Chile one last time before the  end of the road now in Argentina we Drive South   through the desperately flat stretches of Road of  this part of the island but you know us we don’t  

Want to just arrive in usua as we reached some  of the southern area of TI del Fuego we looked   for a nice way to discover the landscape and  for that we need to take a little detour all  

Right guys let’s start this Offroad it’s going  to be sweet yeah ties now eh yeah let’s do it all right let’s go off road  let’s go to the end of the world yeah all right when we get to the  to the lake area will pull out her

Drone oh that’s deep that was a n all right this is the exciting  part the part where you have to   go in the water a lot going to pull out the Drone S [Music] just getting the wind CH ready  just in case uh just in case one of us   has a problem at least the winch is  quick access boom on someone’s car   going in there 300 M through uh the side of  the lake here to try and reach the road on  

The other side which has disappeared so we  have to go 300 M this way it’s going to be exciting So we came along all the way this way now we find  ourselves between two islands well I think this   is doable what do you think yeah we have to swim  it Jerry’s first first uhoh uhoh it’s going to be fine all right let’s [Music] go That was a crazy water crossing uh the deepest  we’ve ever done it was so much fun with Tom we   did it again a second time we just had to do it  it was so good and it probably is the deepest  

Water crossing we’ve ever done on this uh  World Tour I would say the second one was   probably in Finland but this one was just  crazy good and a good way to do the end of   the world by finishing off with a really nice uh  off-road and River Crossings ready forua now let’s

Go we are 100 kilm away from ushaya and because  we’re with Swiss they had to go to the cheese   store but you know what we like cheese as  well so that’s all goes to a cheese store and cheese we got for last night together  before the end of the road we tucked into  

A sweet Green Camp and prepared one  of our favorite meal all right let   me show you the campsite of tonight it’s  pretty sweet and we’re trying to cook up   something that we’ve been cooking for  Christmas and New Years we’ve got car  

One car 2 car three everybody is here and  tonight what could we possibly be cooking F so maybe ah this is yours sto it don’t  scratch the pan this a priv just make   sure you really push it in cuz it’s  going to fall with the weight of the

So soon and we are coming to New Zealand are going  to Brazil so far us it was a bit weird because the   trip is still very long but because we started and  finished with amazing people we need to celebrate  

That first leg cuz it’s still an achiev it’s a  huge king crab is it king crab oh I heard giant   giant king crab and Nick said something of 2 m to  2 m so more less more less more less we did get  

A king crab not really 2 m large but still a king  crab before driving effectively to the end of the   road at the same time Alaska 17,8 48 km away and  we probably did it in 40,000 but we had a good  

Time did you know that this point is actually  much further south than any other inhabited   places on Earth we’re about at lied – 54 as a  comparison Cape Town is at – 33 and melburn at – 34 [Applause] Yoo a lot of noise

For that feel oh beautiful oh yeah  incredible it was cool but nice and   slimmy very nice salty I’m going  to give I’m going to give her sub woohoo that’s sotic we are now at the end of the  road you can see a lot a lot a lot of tourists  

But it’s uh it’s all part of the religion  of getting to the end of the road now for   us since the beginning beginning of the trip the  18th of April 2022 we left and we’ve done 8158  

Km and we’ve been on the road for 632 days now  the only thing is we are now on the the fourth   continent and we still have three more to go  Australia Asia and Africa Albatross is behind  

Us is doing well it’s an end it’s an end of a  part of the journey but for us it’s just like   a stepping stone to the next leg and we’re  extra extra excited so it’s not quite the  

End of the America user we still need to drive  all the way back up to wios AIS and do a bit   of visits over there before we ship the car but  it’s an achievement yeah woohoo all right here
