Monday was a great day to visit the 15th-century Inca citadel that has countless numbers of foreigners visiting Peru for. We knew we would be going to Machu Picchu since the inception of this trip and after 420 days on the road, we made it. Yes, it is heavy on the tourist traffic; however, it […]
After two weeks of dormancy, it was time to hit the road again. Next stop was in the city of Ica, around 4 hours from Lima. The plan was to visit the nearby Huacachina, Peru’s “oasis in the desert” that is around 5 kilometers away from where we stopped. Huacachina is a little village built […]
Riding into Lima was, quite possibly, our most stressful arrival upon a city on this trip so far. I have ranted about Peruvian drivers being certifiably insane and Lima, being the capital city, seems to be a cesspool of the worst drivers imaginable. Not only did it seem like everyone on the road was trying […]
Upon hearing about the beautiful colonial city of Cuenca, we knew that this was one place we needed to visit before leaving Ecuador so, after spending a great week in Quito, we headed south. Since the road to Cuenca is an 8-hour ride, we split the journey into two trips with a stop in the […]
On July 31, we bid farewell to magical Colombia and crossed the border into Ecuador. We used the Rumichaca border crossing, which was fairly straight-forward and fast at around an hour and 15 minutes. For details, refer to our border crossings page. Our first stop was in Ibarra, a charming little town around two hours […]

We left MedellÃn on the morning of Wednesday, July 25, and rode south for almost three hours to our next stop in JardÃn, a colourful colonial town with an abundance of flowers, as its name implies. We arrived fairly early in the afternoon, giving us a good amount of time to have some lunch, check-in at our […]
We have a new video up on our YouTube channel where we share a little more magic of Colombia as we travelled through the country from the City of Eternal Spring, MedellÃn, to the home of the Las Lajas Sanctuary, Ipiales. Enjoy, subscribe, and share! 🙂
Our initially planned two-week stay in MedellÃn got extended by an additional two weeks because of some bike repairs that needed to be to be taken care of before they became hazardous. One of these repairs was to the clutch which required a part to be shipped in from the USA. The part was stuck in […]
We have a new video up on our YouTube channel where we share a glimpse of the magic of Colombia through our eyes (or lenses, if you prefer) as we travelled through the country from the capital city, Bogotá, to the beautiful colonial city of Cartagena in the northern part of the country. Enjoy, subscribe, and […]
