Exploring REMOTE valleys in PATAGONIA | #14 Overland Van Expedition Panamericana
#FromWhereWeAre
Hey everyone,
after spending 3 weeks in Patagonia National Park with the "Tompkins Conservation" we discover remote Patagonian valleys, experience great hospitality and gain insight into sheep farming. Thank you Lucy & Luis!

Thank you so very much!
ABOUT THIS:
We are Helena & Vincent. Follow along as we convert a 4x4 Sprinter to become our home on wheels and embark on a multiyear overland vanlife expedition around the world.
We ship the car from Europe to South America, head to Patagonia, up the Andes to the Atacama and the Altiplano. Into Brazil and the Amazon. Crossing Central America, Mexico, US and Canada and ship the car to Vladivostok in far eastern Russia. From here we’ll head west via Mongolia, Kirgistan, the Pamir Highway and back to Europe. At least that’s the plan :)

Shout out to the two of you for such a nice, well done channel. Stumbled accidentally to your yt channel. Watch all episodes in one go, subscribed and thump up. I’m in the middle of preparing a new Van for a trip around the world. For me, this is real freedom to do and to go wherever you want. Bon voyage, gute Reise, safe travels!

Nice to hear from you. I start in the USA, will travel for several years north and south America, Russia towards Europe. I don’t have much of a plan, just follow the road. I’m building a new Sprinter Van. May I mention, you had problems with your leaf springs. Since you planning to travel to Alaska and over to Russia, Mongolia and so on, you guys will come across a lot of dirt roads and corrugation. Have look in to a upgrade on your suspension from Van Compass in Idaho USA. It’s expensive but worth every cent.

@@vanlifeoverlander6785 That sounds great. Setting out without too strict of a plan will make for beautiful experiences! Yes, the suspension. I thought about upgrading the suspension before the trip. Vancompass has a european distributor it seems, and there's some others that offer similar packages. Including Mercedes themselves, that have something like 12 different spring-rate combinations that you can order. But time was too short before shipping. We tried to keep the weight of the van as low as possible but the rear is still hanging a little lower than the front which lowers ground clearance under the belly and departure angle. And also lowers suspension travel of course. We'll for sure think about upgrading via Vancompass when we come to the US, thanks for the reminder! We've now left the last ripio (corregated dirt road) parts of the Carretera Austral. From here it's mostly tarmac until we hit the desert tracks in the Atacama and Altiplano. It can't get harder than in southern Patagonia though haha. Those roads are eating up every car that is not a Landcruiser or Unimog within 2-3 years...

Thanks for your reply, I keep following you and who knows, maybe some day some place we will bump in to each other. Safe travels!
Your videos are so amazing Helana and Vincent. Thank you for taking us along, for educating us and for inspiring us to go see and experience the many treasures the world offers us. The quality of your videos and your story telling is so amazing. Happy 22nd Birthday Helena. I will do my best to spread the word to get you to 22K views! (BTW, WE RECEIVED OUR VAN THIS WEEK!!!)

The Pacific Northwest is very different: mountain ranges, the most northern rain forest, pine trees for days, a breathtaking coastline, whales, orcas...

I'm enjoying your video journey after discovering them through Tompkins Conservation. Very interesting contrast in views on conservation from the sheep ranchers (1 puma hunting 80 sheep in a night, one day sheep may no longer exist). A question from a past video -- are you happy with the results of the surgery?

Hey Kevin, great to have you follow along. It was very special for us to learn about the work of Tompkins in the field! The surgery went super smooth, thanks for asking! I don't notice the plastic in my belly at all 😊
