Days 508 – 513: Brazil to Uruguay and going coastal
The border crossing from Brazil to Uruguay was reasonably fast, but we did lose more time than needed because we accidentally entered Uruguay before exiting Brazil so we had to go back before proceeding. Not that we have any plans to return to Brazil in the near future, but we did get a visa for […]
Days 495 – 507: Argentina to Brazil and finding Christmastown
On Friday, November 30, we crossed the border into Brazil. This was one of the longer crossings we have had in South America as the Brazilian side was a bit less organized than we would have liked, but we were in and sipping on caipirinhas before we knew it. Details on the process are on […]
New Video: Bolivia

Days 397 – 413: Livin’ la vida Lima
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 […]
Days 393 – 396: Ecuador to Peru and the road to Lima
On Monday, August 20, we crossed the border from Ecuador into Peru. It was a bit long because we had to wait in a relatively slow-moving line on the Ecuador side, but the process itself was straight-forward. Details are on our Border Crossings page. Our first impression of Peru was far from good, to […]
Days 381 – 392: A lake, two cities, and a border town
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 […]
Days 339 – 366: Art, unforeseen delays, and celebrating a year on the road in Medellín
Our initially planned two-week stay in Medellín 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 […]
Days 331 – 337: Cartagena to Medellín
We left Cartagena on Tuesday, June 19, and started our journey towards Medellín. Since the fastest route is around 12 hours, we stopped along the way in Sincelejo, Caucasia, and Santa Rosa de Osos before reaching our destination on Friday. Medellín is Colombia’s second largest city and a rather beautiful one at that. It is located […]
Days 327 – 330: Beautiful and blistering Cartagena
On Friday, we headed towards Cartagena, taking the road going through Barranquilla. Shakira fans who don’t know where she’s from, Barranquilla is the singer’s hometown and there is a statue of her there. The traffic in the city was chaotic and getting out of there was an absolute nightmare so no selfies of us with […]
