Rounding out 2023 and onto 2024.

La Rioja to Mendoza Fortunately the hotel had an early breakfast which is unusual (most start at 8AM) and I was wanting to be on the road early. Riding south .... Just me and Blue skies!! Always funny to me the roads that they have sealed like this. Know that it is a...

Cafayate to La Rioja Time to keep moving south. Know that the next few days will be making some miles to Mendoza. It is about 600+ miles south/southwest to Mendoza, just heading down the valley. Not much to stop for, other than the small towns, so I am up early for a...

Cafayate, Argentina As I rolled in Cafayate which is a Wine area, There was a perfect blue sky and the the Sun was shining ! Found a hostel just off the 3 blocks of off the main square! This place was really nice!! But of course it was 180 Peso's a night ($38.5 USD...

Enjoying my time in northern Argentina, but it is a time that I am on my own. Have not seen any other moto travelers days without speaking much english, but it is a good time of reflection on my journey and taking in the culture here in Argentina. There are always...

Just a few hours south to the bigger city of Salta. Riding down the valley as the altitude gets lower. Seems strange after being in the Altoplano for so long, now I am down to 4,500 feet elevation. Stayed here in Salta. Had to ride through the lobby, dining area to...

Bolivia was an interesting place with lots of varied terrain and riding. The issues with Gas and threat of Strikes ended up being no problem for me. Some of the issues are just hard to understand. The other observation is that we had radical varying interactions with...

Sucre to Tupiza, Bolivia (just an hour from the Argentina Border) Someone asked about parking on Hostels and hotels. It has always been interesting!! The hostel in Potosi was interesting as we stayed at the Koala den and they had us park in the "annex" hostel. Took a...

Stayed at the Koala Den in Potosi. The bike parking was a bit fun if I can get the video uploaded! After a great 10 days riding through Bolivia together, we would be heading our separate ways. Mike and Jill would be riding to Sucre with me, then heading to Cochabamba...

The Salar de Uyuni One of the places that I was really looking forward to riding is the Salar. Wahoo..... 16 months down the road I am here. Riding 20KM north of Uyuni is the main entrance to the Salar. It is a rough washboard road that you are glad to be done...

Headed out of Challapata in the morning. We decided to ride the direct route, knowing it was a dirt and gravel road. We were told 3-4 hour for the 120 miles (and on big moto probably 3 ) So down the valley we go. There was a military checkpoint just outside of town....
