Adios Latin America
The Latin America Bicycle Trip. Back to the Latin America bicycle trip. Apr 15, 2009. We cycled 15 months in a world of Spanish; literally a world of Spanish. As cycle-tourists, spending most of their traveling BETWEEN one touristy place to another, we were forced into this world. The food is in Spanish (" Perro caliente. 8211; hot dog), the music is in Spanish (non Spanish music doesn’t exist), even the movies are in Spanish (Schwarzenegger speaking Spanish – " Hasta la vista. Just south of us. Capitals...

Argentina - Ruta 40
Argentina - Ruta 40. The Latin America Bicycle Trip. Back to the Latin America bicycle trip. Mar 18, 2009. A long first night 08/02/09. We tried hitching a truck. Crossing Paso De Jama. Didn’t turn out as we planned. Rami, with his swollen knee, could barely help Gal pack the camp. We took our time. Going back to San Pedro De Atacama, Chile, would do us no good – a tiny village with no facilities, and, why go back? We were on the way to Argentina! We waited about 2 hours for a hitch to civilization.

Argentina - To Buenos Aires
Argentina - To Buenos Aires. The Latin America Bicycle Trip. Back to the Latin America bicycle trip. Apr 15, 2009. Cycling over 2 hours through grapevines and wineries. The small, winding road was packed with trucks, overloaded with grapes. We looked back, and barely saw the Andes Mountain range, disappearing. After many kilometers of desert, we reached Difunta Correa. A small oasis (with contaminated water), a famous pilgrimage site; part of the local Christian mythology. The chewiest meat we ever chewed.

Mexico - Baja California
Mexico - Baja California. The Latin America Bicycle Trip. Back to the Latin America bicycle trip. February 18, 2008. Jim escorted/guided/joined us to the border. It was a calm sunny morning, our last 40km of good roads, wide shoulders and American-courteous drivers. We departed from Jim our host, savior, and new friend just at the border, before the Mexican formalities. The bits we saw of Tijuana were not interesting, a 3’rd world country city, distorted by too many US tourists, crossing the border...

Chile - The North
Chile - The North. The Latin America Bicycle Trip. Back to the Latin America bicycle trip. Feb 8, 2009. Bienvenidos a Chile 17/01/09. We arrived to Chile immigration, a modern complex, as expected. The Peruvian side was also modern and came as a surprise. We quickly ate all our fresh food (not allowed to be taken into Chile). We tried our best but were sad to leave 2 garlic heads behind…. At the border we met a few motorcyclists (about 10 past us during the whole day! Today we celebrated a year in Latin ...

Colombia - The Caribbean Coast
Colombia - The Caribbean Coast. The Latin America Bicycle Trip. Back to the Latin America bicycle trip. Monday, August 18, 2008. 6,590 km in. We found ourselves on the sea front, stumbling towards the old city, like drunks or people who have been a week at sea, in search of a hotel. Gal had a terrible headache. We were thrilled by the amount of street food and enjoyed the famous. 8216;arepa con queso’ (the arepas deteriorated the moment we left town). We also bought a Comcel SIM card. We spent 2 more day...

Colombia - Bogota and the Cordillera Central
Colombia - Bogota and the Cordillera Central. The Latin America Bicycle Trip. Back to the Latin America bicycle trip. Sep 24, 2008. The Castros – part II 13/09/08. After more than 20km of traffic jams and an amazing ciclovia, we arrived to the house of Miriam and Hector Castro. After a long time on the road, we longed for a feeling of home, and staying with the Castro's was exactly what we needed! Just the way Edgar and Luzeye. Welcomed us, Miriam and Hector treated us like family. Gal refused to take th...
