I crossed to Argentina yesterday at noon.......one month and four days after leaving Calgary on Sunday July 12th , the ride from Jama to Jujuy was surrounded by mountains, llamas, vicuñas, frozen lakes, salt deserts, and the most incredible blue sky you can imagine...only crossed by few white...

  Arica is a port town, near the sea the morning started covered with fog, it looked like cold but I believe it was the humidity that made things worst.   I decide to test the heated vest and the connection with the dimmer. I know it worked in Calgary but with all the stuff that happened...

I couldn't fill the site yesterday because the Hotel Internet did not worked properly, sorry. Today I loaded the pics of the two days (you can see now two additional titles under Peru) and I will summarize the riding comments.   First I have to mention that I crossed to Chile yesterday...

 Today it's been a month since I left Calgary !!!!!! After leaving Ika under the fog, the sun start shining and I rode long and empty roads again....this is what I mean for long and empty roads …...   Then I hit a long plane extension.....the site of the Nasca lines, I watch them from...

I left Huacho under a foggy morning, it was cold and I have to wear some warming cloth, I'm not paying more attention to local forecast that calls for 31 Celsius when is 8......in any case a good piece of advice for a rider is this....keep always a nylon or plastic liner with you to wear on top,...

  I crossed to Peru yesterday morning, customs took more than expected (two hours) and I'm glad I didn't try in the evening I got there. Here is a rule : never cross borders late !!!!! they are not predictable. In this case the problem was me and not the bike, they took forever to stamp the...

 I couldn't work on the site yesterday, there was no INTERNET available in the hotel in Alausi; as I go down south the hotels are cheaper, this is the good news (Alausi was 12 U$S/night), the bad news are that the services available are also limited. Don't take me wrong, the hotel was fine,...

After 10.000 Km I arrived to Panama and flew to Quito. My bike arrived yesterday morning and I spent most of the day to release it from customs, there were some minor damages (mirror broken and windshield with a small fracture) that shows there was some issues in the transportation.   While...

Panama is a booming country as far I see, I have not read much about it's economy but you see construction everywhere, I would guess that 50 % of the super buildings in Panama City are under construction as we speak. The avenue you see in the picture was inagurated ...a month ago !!!! and build...
