As far as border crossings have been on this trip, it seems like the forces of the universe saved the best for last; the crossing from Uruguay to Argentina on December 19 took about five minutes before we were riding into Argentina to finish our journey. Details are on our Border Crossings page for all […]

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 […]
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 […]
After four laid-back weeks in Chile, we crossed the Paso Cardenal Antonio Samoré border and entered Argentina on November 15. This was our easiest crossing yet with both sides taking a total of 15 minutes and quite scenic as it was in the north of the Patagonia region. Details on the procedure are on our […]

We headed to the city of Uyuni for our last weekend in Bolivia as we intended to visit the famous salt flat nearby. Despite being the most touristy city in Bolivia, Uyuni was far from impressive. It was just as filthy as the rest of the country (Bolivia is keeping up with Peru in the […]

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 […]
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 […]
