Chile flooding in March 2015
 

I guess you have seen it in the news, but northern Chile had really bad flooding last week.
Atacama received biggest rains in 15-20 years and due to this bad flooding happened everywhere.

Lot of roads have been closed due to flooding and several passes are closed (for example Paso Negro to Argentina).
Many small gravel roads have quite bad water damage, so be careful out there.

Few hundred meters of Pan American highway disappeared in Chanaral (some photos and video in my fb).

Actually there is very little of it reported in the news over here (in Europe), having seen these places in the dry more than once that is shocking footage of Chanaral.

Any updates?

I do not have any updates from the flooded area, but I noticed lot of closed and damaged roads while I rode down to Santiago.
Currently in Puerto Montt and tomorrow heading to Carretera Austral.

Does this include the Pan American Hwy??? NEVER MIND.....saw the date on the post Duhhhh LOL!
