Waking up to a pre-made breakfast along the Lagunas Route really is a treat! Temperatures are still well below zero, but the sun will be here any minute. And that’s a good thing! Because every morning our motorcycles are more reluctant to start their engines. The altitude and the cold are definitely getting to our…
Day two on Bolivia’s Western Lagunas Route. Having freed Jonas’s CRF from the sand, we reach the end of the altiplano and start bobbing up-and-down sandy hills till we reach what we had feared all along: sandy washboard. Annoyingly wobbly, with the occasional surprise sideway slither. Exciting? Maybe. But at this altitude, my CRF was…
After having acclimatised to the altitude a few days in Uyuni (at 3700m), we point our wheels toward the infamous lagunas route. Not the well trodden Eastern route. No, we’re going all in, taking the even more remote Western route, meandering close to the Chilean border. The first 175 kilometres or so, we just follow…
When travelling by motorcycle everyone expects the worst to happen one day, right? Yet sometimes, it’s the tiny, stupid surprises that screw you over. We had spent an amazing few days discovering Argentina’s Wild West, filling our lungs with dust and our boots with sand when disaster struck. Not on the bike, not on the…
Impressions from an Empty Road Ruta 3 in Argentina. Vast emptiness. A dream, or a nightmare? It cuts through a desert-like vastness, a ribbon of asphalt stretching endlessly toward the horizon. The only sounds are my breath inside my helmet and the soaring wind outside. Slowly, I inhale. Eyes fixed on the distance. We are…
Let me start this tale with honesty: I was wrong. Not completely wrong — but certainly mistaken. After having discovered Caleta Maria in Chilean Tierra del Fuego, I was no longer motivated to reach Ushuaia. I simply didn’t want to leave Caleta Maria, but due to a lack of food, that became non-negotiable. Leaving Caleta…
The reality is that my blog went silent for a bit. Why? Because, truthfully, my keyboard broke, and I was struggling with what to tell you about Argentina and it’s current travel costs in 2025. But here it goes. Having crossed into Argentina at the Paso Roballos border, our hopes were high and our dreams…
Cueva de las Manos summarised for you: A story steeped in history with a highly adventurous touch to get there, more so if you put your confidence into maps.me. Camped in Patagonia National Park, we decided this was the perfect base to visit Cueva de las Manos. Just 156 kilometer of Argentinian gravel, fuel calculations,…
Where were we? Ah yes, I promised to tell you more about this brave new world, didn’t I? Or at least about the dreamy, washboardy, and unexpectedly pricey details. Argentina, here we go! Barely a few kilometers from the last border checkpoint, we parked our motorbikes to soak in the view. To our left, a…
