Day 233: Managua to the island of Ometepe

On Tuesday morning, we left Managua and headed to San Jorge, a small town that is just under two hours away. We were scheduled to meet up with Tim and Marisa here to catch a ferry to the island of Ometepe together. After almost an hour-long ferry ride and a pizza lunch, we parted ways […]

Days 115 & 116: Orizaba to Tuxtepec to Oaxaca

  We left Orizaba on Wednesday morning and rode for about three hours before we reached San Juan Bautista Tuxtepec. It is a decent city that serves as a good place to stop for a night on the way to Oaxaca, but doesn’t really contain anything of interest for a visitor. We stayed at the only […]

Day 50: The Colours of Guanajuato City

On Monday, September 11, we decided to visit Guanajuato city since we had been hearing so many positive things about the place. We left at around 11:00 AM and rode for about an hour before we got to the historic town center. We quickly found a decent parking spot, parked the bike, and then hit […]

Day 27: Barrancas del Cobre (Copper Canyon)

We left for the Barrancas del Cobre (Copper Canyon) after breakfast and arrived at the location in about an hour. We paid 20 pesos (~1.45 CAD) per person for the initial entry and then took a dirt road to where we could ride the gondola. There was some rain along the way so, unsurprisingly, the road […]

Day 25: Yécora to Basaseachic Falls to Creel

We were up bright and early on Wednesday morning. After cold showers (no hot water for the morning) and some coffee at a nearby Oxxo (Mexican convenience store chain, similar to 7-11 in North America), we were on the road at around 8:30 AM. The drive from Yécora to Basaseachi was incredible. The weather was finally […]

Day 24: Hermosillo to Yécora

We left Hermosillo on Wednesday morning after breakfast and headed towards Yécora – a small town that falls between Hermosillo and Creel. We chose to stop here for the night because we planned to visit the Basaseachic Falls and didn’t want a long day of riding all the way to Creel, where we planned to stay to […]

Day 13: The Road to Albuquerque

The ride from Farmington to Albuquerque was a short and scenic one at around 3 hours on the US Route 550. We made many picture stops along the way since the day was nice and the temperature remained within a tolerable range. We arrived in Albuquerque in the afternoon and relaxed a bit before going […]
