80 days of great travelling
Although we did this tour in 60 days in 2013, we would have liked to have more time at different stages of the journey and see more, travel further. That's why we planned a 73 days tour now. It sounds like neverending, but we still had to make choices and have little time at some spots. The planned route is some 15.000 km.
The Route
We'll start in Colombia, a great country, mentioned by many as the nicest surprise of the journey. We ride partly along the coast, partly through the mountains along winding roads towards the South and Ecuador, where we will cross the equator. Here we'll ride through the jungle as well as along snow capped volcanoes. In Peru we'll head for the Atacama dessert, the highest and driest in the world and part of the Inca culture. Further south in Peru are nasca and the incredible Nasca Lines. Of course the journey would not be complete without a visit to Machu Picchu and we cannot do without a visit to and boat ride on Lake Titicaca.
From La Paz (highest Capital City RTW) we'll head into the high Andes and ride some spectacular roads, visiting the Salt Lakes at Uyuni and the well known train cemetary as well as the highest geiserfield in the world at El Tatio. Going south there are some route options.
Whitchever way we decide to go, we'll ride some great dirt roads through Chile (parts of the infamous Route Quarenta (40) and will keep on going south to the most impressive glacier Perito Moreno and National Park Torres del Paine. The list of highlights we will expererience is too much to write down here.
Of course we will finish our quest at the most southern town on the American continent we can reach on our motorcycles, Ushuaia.
Who should join
For this tour you need to be an experienced rider or passenger and both fisically and mentally be healthy. To ride this many days on a pretty tight schedule asks a lot of body and mind.
Choice of motorcycle
Almost all kind of motorcycles could bring you all the way, as long as they are - like you - very well prepared. However, those with full fairings, a lot of chrome, little ground clearance etc. may give you a very hard time and/or could not make it in one piece and are therefor less compatible. Keep in mind that: lighter bikes give you more fun and peace of mind..

Changes may apply
It is common practice on a tour like this that we lay out our route, name the highlights and put a red line on the globe... However, we do not want to become a slave of our own preparations.
This means that we like to keep as much the possibillity to choose our own route, following the red line we prepared.
The further south we get, the less route options there will be and also± The harder the going will get, the more we will all ride together. |
