Move to Rio Grande.
I traveled to Fueguia Island, heading towards Rio Grande.
There are places where trees grow sideways, so it seems to be a windy area, but I was either lucky or unlucky, and there was almost no wind. Even in places where there is wind, it is not enough to hinder the motorcycle's movement. There are occasional crosswinds, but they are not at a dangerous level. Moreover, it was warm, so it was a comfortable motorcycle trip.
When I hear "Rio Grande," I imagine the small spacecraft deployed at the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine space station. This place is so out of the ordinary that it feels like I'm in space, and it's almost as if that joke could be taken seriously. Ushuaia, the next destination, might also have a space-like name.

Border: Paso San Sebastian (Chile → Argentina) (Fuego Island).
This is a border crossing where the buildings for Chile and Argentina are separate. You complete the exit procedures on the Chilean side, drive a few kilometers, and then complete the entry procedures at the building on the Argentine side.
■ Chile Exit
Receive the exit stamp, return the "permiso" paper for customs procedures, and that's the end.
■ Argentina Entry
Receive the entry stamp, receive the "permiso" for customs procedures, and that's the end.
By this point, you've gone through the procedures many times, so the process is similar and goes smoothly.

Parque Pingüino Rey (Fueguia Island)
It seems there is a king penguin colony on the Chilean side of Fuego Island, and since it was not far from the route, I decided to go there.
↓ Around here
In the past, it seems like it was possible to see it for free, but now there is a fence, and it costs 12,000 Peso (about 2,000 yen) per person. It's a bit disappointing. The number of penguins is also small (apparently about 150), and you can only see them from a distance. This price is too high for just this.

The bolt that connects the engine and the muffler has come loose.
Recently, the engine sound has been strange. It makes a dry sound. I wondered what it was, so I took it to a motorcycle shop, and they immediately identified the cause of the sound. One of the two bolts that connect the engine to the muffler was missing, and the other one was very loose. It was dangerous. I had it repaired at a motorcycle shop in Rio Grande.
The oil was also low, so I had it changed at the same time.
And the sound is gone!
In addition to the oil price, I was charged 500 pesos (approximately 4,500 yen) for diagnosis fees and labor costs, etc.
Well, it's Argentina, and it's Patagonia, so I guess that's to be expected.
