Sometimes negotiations concerning adding or removing point from the list were really tough . 'In the first part of our trip we were travelling by bus . We were going from Santiago through Melipeuco to Pucon . In Bariloche we decided to rent a car . So we rented small city car , but sometimes it was hard to drive hundreds of kilometres on gravel roads of Ruta 40 .
