We enter Uruguay with high expectations, very little is known about this tiny land. They produce cheese, soya , there is cattle everywhere, they have the poorest president in the world: "el viejo Mujica"... After 2 weeks cycling there we can say it has...

Once in San Pedro de Atacama we have 2 options to enter Argentina: the asphalted Paso Jama or the ‘camino de tierra’ of Paso Sico. After researching both routes we decide to give a try to Paso Sico since it is supposed to be wilder with nicer landscape...

Ruta de las Lagunas, one of the best sceneries ever seen on our travel! Before starting this route we read lots of stories about its beauty and toughness. It is a remote part of southwest Bolivia where there is no possible life, a vast volcanic area with...

Welcome to Peru! What a big contrast to Ecuador! Noisy, dirtier and every car is horning! It looks like the India of South America. In every place we stop all the people (kids and not so young) star at us as if we were from another planet, not to mention...
We continue our way through Ecuador, once upon a time part of the Inca empire, then ruled by the Spanish Pizarro brothers, afterwards under Simón Bolivar part of the Great Colombia and finally independent in 1830. Politically it is a huge difference to...
We enter in a new country: Costa Rica! Guanacaste province seems dry and hot and the road turns quite busy and hectic with not much shoulder till Puntarenas. Afterwards the ride along the Pacific brings us more peace and flat roads. Costa Rica is a big...
