Bogota colombia – Chimbote Peru
How about adventurous two-wheel friends as we are officially in South America we have landed in Bogotá Colombia after leaving Panama we crossed the motorcycle by plane I also crossed by plane and we are going straight to de la Tatacoa. well then the motorcycle battery is failing come and stop to try to
Rest the battery a little and to be able to continue to move forward and to top it off screw in the tire but that’s the problem. quieter than we bring at this time this is how we were already receiving the motorcycle in we were just in all the formalities eh
Of the transaction in order to enter and once I was given the motorcycle I went straight to the workshop and I already had an appointment. I had already made an appointment in eh while I was only came for tire change the battery had already been changed in Panama
And everything was going well until well, we had to send for repairs to the Rhine. I already knew it had a hit but it was not too much air as it arrived in Colombia then for nothing touched to leave the bike for another day because because we no longer realized
It was already late I was late already from the airport that the tires have been changed then I had nowhere to cross the Rhine until the following day touches repair the Rhine so as the motorcycle I wouldn’t be ready early either, much less the next day I went for a walk to downtown.
To Bolivar Square I listened to some music and that there was a free rock concert there I also had the opportunity to go to the Botero museum. to be turning everything around through the center of eh I went to Quevedo’s jet I took chicha once I was notified that the motorcycle was ready
I went to pick her up and well then I had been recommended some delicious hot dogs over there. I had to go and try eh full of melted cheese and all very tasty indeed. 100% recommended then I did start the return home already but the night caught me and did not have
It was going to take me a long time to get there even though the GPS marked me 30 minutes from my location everything was closed I was standing for a while in traffic motorcycles were passing by and by, so I also decided to start overtaking cars until I got to the front
I found a large amount of motorcycle this is the first time there have been so many motorcycles in South America. this day that I know there were enough of us quite a few of us who were here well, well we were like this until we made it to the lodging for tomorrow
Continue with the route to the parking lot of the cartacoa the next day we started the route very early with this view of see if you can see the waterfall we come all for the because I come all along the side of a river suddenly I began to feel Brisa
A huge waterfall next to me already there are some restaurants back there I didn’t want to stop there because I’m sure you know I was going to offer breakfast and I still don’t want to put anything in. but the waterfall is very impressive. is very high I don’t know maybe 50m high
Or something like this well, let’s follow the path what a good one I don’t know what it’s called here but it’s beautiful I suddenly got off at a gas station to charge and broke the motorcycle seat with the boot it got stuck I had to reach the next population
At the time the seat part of the adventure that a trip to this type is coming up then I had to remove everything I found in order to deliver the seat the truth is that they did it very quickly I think about an hour and a half the seat was ready while well
I was going to take the opportunity to eat something to be there in what I was there waiting for and at the end when the seat was given to me well, new seat basically to continue with the entire route so we could continue on the road closer to of the Tatacoa Championship
The truth is that this has already touched us something very close we were already about an hour away I think we were going for a long time I think in order to reach with daylight still uncovered and able to explore perhaps a little and so we continue on the road
Until we would reach this place that we had already marked as access to paradise. and from here we knew that well we were already going to start doing only off road in order to reach the most to the possible center of the Universe so we would continue to delve into paradise
Seeing less and less less population less people we were going to try more I knew there was a population more in the center but here we passed through a section where there was very few houses until suddenly we come across this tunnel and well, we had to pass through here.
So without thinking about it entered only hoping that some car would not come from the other side because it was a very narrow tunnel once he left here since it was something he did not had not contemplated I had not seen it on the map
That I was going to go through some place like this this goal bridge passing through the river that goes very close to the castle the time it was a very nice step here that I did to be my first days in South America in Colombia well, eh
One of the best routes I could do, I think. being here in Colombia a few meters ahead there was also a second tunnel with which good as it indicated that we were practically arriving where there was nothing to I bring
A lot of air in the tires I have been bouncing a lot but well, we’re going to raffle it like this waiting do not fall I will go slowly to not to expose myself too much I don’t know yellow here I don’t know that I can find that there may be then
It is time to bring moderate pace constant but moderate there is no more the Tatacoa is one of the natural destinations most fascinating and unique in South America despite its name the Tatacoa is located in the department ofla in southeastern Colombia although its extension with that of the world’s great heroes like Zara
Of eroded soils cannons rock formations and abundant cactus vegetation and thorny trees that combines desert beauty with a spectacular starry sky is an ideal destination for nature lovers. adventure and astronomy and offers a unique experience worth exploring for those who wish to get away from the hustle and bustle routes conventional
And immerse yourself in a surreal and fascinating landscape so the night would come and we could watch this evening show where we could see the Milky Way super clear we could see Saturn we could see many manys we were there doing some shots until we managed to get this fantastic shot
Um well I’m still in paradise I came to lie down here for a while. where I am staying because the heat because it’s obviously great I suddenly began to hear how steps below where I am sleeping and with the novelty that is happening won
Eh the bike is still fine they have not thrown it away I see my clothes lying down that I washed but literally these young men passed exactly below me finally, already eh decided to stay one more day one more night as you saw well, he was resting when the cattle passed by.
I also took the opportunity to take a tour in a boat. in a river that is here too close to go to see turtles and well, nothing more than rest and start getting things ready for the next day to be able to leave early and continue with the route
Not before spending a night in Popayán with my friend. Johnny’s and then take the road again do a little off road reach the lagoon of la cocha and from there continue on to Ipiales where I would also spend a night at the hotel from my friend Sebastian
A very good option very close to the border whether you enter or leave Colombia this is how we entered Ecuador to spend one more night in Otavalo to rest with this where I would meet Mario a friend who would take me to meet not only half of the world
But something spectacular, which is the callambi volcano. quickly as soon as we met started talking to me about their culture its history its roots we went to the middle of the world of course we took the picture on the line we are preparing for go up
Al Cayambe ser is a bit of a tough route. but then we come to the adventure to give him after preparing the motorcycles a bit and a few minutes later we were already on earth. we were starting to have a pretty funny road there.
With a little bit of mud that they had spent watering since en ese entonces were giving it some maintenance so that it could be a little more passable but while this happens we know that always it’s a little difficult to pass eh certain places so we kept moving forward until we found here
This part was closed but well we always look for the way and find out how to survive the stone was needed to grip traction. I will not go through thes here has welded and already broken so we continued the route I kept marveling at the scenery and here I was still thinking that
I was going to enjoy some good roasted nopales. because some of what I saw entering Ecuador is that there is a lot of nopal but what would be my surprise that do not consume them and so the road became more and more complicated. until a moment would come
In which I could no longer continue advances D.O. more riding these roads on a loaded motorcycle weighing 250 kilos in total between the legs it is very complicated to be able to really control it a climb with so many loose stones with such a heavy motorcycle regularly causes this to happen
The first of the trip we took the souvenir picture we are I laugh a little at what happened and realize this. is throwing away gasoline and we were going up until one fell there. gone ah yes son of a bitch moves the ah and today I bring tool
No look, the bolts have already been flipped we can try to tighten it we are so close and so far away ha ha after making a plastic repair with girdles with which we tie the sprock of the motorcycle. we are still on Mario’s motorcycle we continue to climb
The goal was to go as high as possible and we were determined to do it to get as close to the as we could. the road was still very complicated even though it was a small motorcycle and that it was easier to the road was still too complicated
And more so if two people go on the motorcycle I am nowhere near the cusp but I can no longer the motorcycle stayed down there as far as the motorcycle was going became a very complicated road for the for the motorcycle so I decided to leave it there.
Keep walking but I think I’ve come this far there is already the recording we are practically at the top but I can’t keep walking anymore uf what a super experience ah well, we are already at the top of the Cayambe volcano.
It was hard to get my motorcycle on it, it didn’t get there a piece that gets complicated I made the mistake of braking I lost traction recovering the bike was already impossible I fell we had to turn around and I left it down there they helped me get on a motorcycle
But we are here what can I tell you this is spectacular 5 000 what 4 000 604 600m altitude Cayambe volcano is an important volcano of the highest and most active in the country is located in the Andes Mountains. in the province of Pichinch in northern Ecuador
Part of the central Andes mountain range this is how we would begin the descent much slower the truth is that it was quite tiring to be able to climb then we start to go down much slower but enjoying the scenery and of the beautiful sunset that was showing the Cayambe
There came a time in which it began to close too much the sky was already starting to get quite dark the lights were not of this one, but they were not of much use. by some at some point the sky opened up let us take the last pictures of the day
And let us arrive safely at our destination you are going to register the vehicle you are telling me that more than 1km ahead I come slowly to see what part I feel around here Attention to the entrance changes radically I am very curious about Peru good landscapes good routes here we would start
One more adventure I’m going to meet Mike he an unknown traveler Tino was giving him his third trip to South America I will visit was John aimlessly another unknown traveler coming northward, which is just now back in Panama eh with Michael we took the extreme adventure of getting into a motorcycle cab.
The truth is that it will be the same as in Mexico. also be able to be uploaded here John aimlessly arrived with us because he had the motorcycle decomposed then it who was in the workshop was fixing it, it was with us came other Ecuadorian friends and so
We can spend several days together have a nice trip also once Juan was able to repair your motorcycle we continue resting and getting to know a little Piura the truth is that it is it is another experience to be able to get here it’s the first time it’s my turn
A country with so much affection one can be crossing hours and hours on the road in the middle of the mirror find absolutely nothing it’s awesome eh the amount of sand everywhere it’s no use here to go out and sweep the sidewalk because because the longer it takes you to sweep it
That in what is full of sand again playing is a city in the middle of the desert good on the shore of the Piura Strait then this makes everything full of sand all the time. is to live in paradise is practically an experience the power to be here
Being able to see how people live how things develop here in Peru the truth is that it’s eh eh it’s the first few days is the first week but so far it has been a very good experience. we are staying at the inn of joining bonds of brotherhood
Is a motorcycle inn that several motorcycle clubs have. here we also had to celebrate Jonathan’s birthday have very good times have a good time and then continue to Chiclayo. where I would meet Diego after celebrating Jonathan’s birthday I would be there one night with Diego
Today we would have a very large earthquake in the early hours of the morning. but I was so tired that I didn’t even get up. the truth is that we live a there is nothing inside since was asleep I just felt like everything was moving and I didn’t want to get up.
And once I left Chiclayo arrives let’s go to chaos that had this truck that turned over here in the middle of a bridge loaded with mangoes and where all the people move absolutely everything what I could they left everything empty of handles, the only thing that remained was was what was useless
That everything was underfoot the authorities could do little to stop the people. then people took everything and once people took everything cranes arrived to turn the truck over put it on the side of the road and that we could continue on our way here we lost at least 4 5 hours
Of waiting for them to be able to clear the way had no other alternative through which to pass I tried to see if there was any way of passing along the side of the road for the earth for a reason but it was impossible then we had no choice rather than waiting for
To clean everything up and that we could move forward that would delay my trip and to arrive at night in Chimbote that this is our destiny today arriving in Chimbote with Fernando well they have released the bridge are circulating first on the other side will benefit us a little
Because it is very slippery all over the handlebars throwing away the shells and everything then we hope to have a better time all on top of the motorcycles to turn them on trying to move forward once we were able to move forward I said goodbye to the other motorcyclists who were there.
With me there were also 4 of us eh Ecuadorians and I were the ones waiting for but they barely gave us a free hand I took my rhythm because I was still missing long way to go to be able to reach Chimbote and so it would stress me out
Seize the night and come and at approximately 9:00 p.m. Chimbote for resting I could not meet Fernando that day since I was working your child only told me which room I was going to sleep in I stayed this one to rest that day and the next day. in the morning
Fernando was waiting for me to come and go to him. hill of silence and to be able to observe from above what is the white island that they call then the truth is that already from let’s go to the duck canyon that later on you will see how things will turn out
Here we were just starting this journey of climbing the hill of silence the truth is that it is a very short but very nice route of many curves is only one outward and one outward lane if you notice there is no more here Fer had to come honking his horn in the corners.
Because they were very tight curves where we could not see anything but it was worth coming here as we continued to climb we were having a view more and more spectacular Chimbote so we would continue to climb in order to advance further and to be able to reach the mi
Creator who was what we were looking for ah and how much is has different motorcycle keys in case here eh different motorcycle keys has how different different to open and ah it closed yes now we see if we can do something cannot be left once we pay for our access The 5 Suns
Is the approximate equivalent of 25 Mexican pesos. the truth is that it is very cheap to access here so that we arrive and have these such spectacular views of Chimbote is a coast where it reaches from here to many parts of Peru. and being able to be here with this view
Is truly spectacular once we were here and then go to rest and the next day I could continue with the route we are going with bound for Ushuaia in the transfer of the motorcycle and all that appointment where I was staying where he was staying disassemble the entire motorcycle
In which it was necessary to pass is not a failure in the conventional sense but its arid appearance and desert beauty covers about 330km2 and the mayor of La Tatacoa is this time we are going to the Cayambe volcano the view of the volcanoes and this sunset
So we would start to start climbing towards alcayambe check tire pressure were repairing the road know the most decent ones to drive a very intense moment there in the early hours of the morning here I would start a great adventure here until we got to the part all the way up
Gives a lot of fish and a while we took some pictures to know a little about the port where a lot of cargo arrives then I got here eh rather not home but where I was staying because I did not count on an accident get a place where they could paint me
But I could not imagine the surprise that would await me. as it is actually a tropical dry forest make it worthy of their name presents a breathtaking landscape a natural treasure in Colombia in the middle of the world in Ecuador and from there to be able to continue the next day to Cayambe
We left Mario’s house and all the basic checks we could do at that time then it’s quite an adventure which obviously does not since after that where we would already have to pay for access a lot of ceviche we decided to go down to the coast
We were there talking for a long time.
