[S2 - Eps. 49] Parts breaking off my Royal Enfield Himalayan to see this: Cono de Arita, Argentina
In this episode I am riding from El Penon in Argentina to Tolar Grande on my Royal Enfield Himalayan. This is a very desolate and remote area in Argentina and the roads are tough! All the corrugated roads (also known as washboard) are beating up my motorcycle and me. When I finally arrived in Tolar Grande, I lost one part and broken another...

[S2 - Eps. 50] I'm OUT!
With too little rest after the previous ride, I try to do another big day riding at altitude, but I'm simply exhausted. I have to cut the ride off and stop in San Antonio. As already announced in the last live chat, I am taking a break! I need time to rest and to sort out a lot of things I didn't have the time to do while on the road all the time. See you in a couple of weeks!

[S2 - Eps. 41] My motorcycle and me are boiling in the desert in Argentina
In this episode I am riding through a desert in Argentina and temperatures are soaring. The road is not easy and the hostel is closed - it wasn't one of my best days but that's also part of long distance motorcycle riding!

[S2 - Eps. 45] Royal Enfield Himalayan Maintenance needed!
In this episode I am riding from La Serena to Copiapo in Chile. There isn't much choice but to follow the Ruta 5, which is a pretty boring highway! The weather is not helping either, so I decide to just blast my way to Copiapo so I have time to get a service for Dhanno.
It's been 3,000 kilometers since the last oil change, so I'm having the oil and oil filter changed. Because of the mineral rich grounds I have been riding on, Dhanno also gets much needed thorough wash here!

[S2 - Eps. 51] I'm BACK!!
In this episode, I am continuing the ride towards Alaska! After a break of a few weeks, Dhanno and I are both ready to start riding again. In this video, I'm riding from Salta to Tilcara, Argentina. On the way, I'm passing by Purmamarca, the 7 coloured mountain - what an incredible geological feature!
In Salta I had to change my rear tyre for the second time during this adventure. I have ridden about 8,000 kilometers with the Metzeler Enduro 3 Sahara, but all the riding over volcanic sediments and sharp gravel took their toll. It was not easy to find a new rear tyre in Salta, but eventually I found a Pirelli MT-60 again, so that's what I bought to continue my journey with!

[S2 - Eps. 44] Riding at almost 5,000 metres altitude in the Andes, at Paso Agua Negra
In this ride I am crossing the border again between Argentina and Chile. The border is right at the high mountain pass called Paso Agua Negra, which is at 4753 meters altitude. Coming from the hot desert in Argentina, I am riding towards the snow, and then descend again into the hot valley on the other side.
It was a spectacular ride through different temperatures and through the stunning, colourful mountains of the Andes. It took me 10 hours to ride my motorcycle from Calingasta in Argentina, to La Serena in Chile but I did it!

In this episode I am riding from Copiapo in Chile, to Fiambala in Argentina. I am crossing over the Paso San Francisco, above 4700 meters altitude. Right after the pass, I catch some bad weather!
But that doesn't spoil this fantastic motorcycle ride across the Andes!

[S2 - Eps. 42] The final stretch to Mendoza, Argentina!
I am riding to Mendoza to spend Christmas 2019 there! As in most countries, in Argentina Christmas is spend with family, so as a solo traveller, it's best to try and meet some other fellow travellers in a bigger city!
This time, I'm leaving earlier in the day so I avoid the worst heat and that turns out the be a great decision!

[S2 - Eps. 52] This Argentinean dog BIT me!
In this episode, I am riding my motorcycle from Tilcara in Argentina to Salinas Grandes. On the way, I make a stop at Cerro Hornocal (14 coloured mountain), close to Humahuaca, but the weather is not in my favour and a cloud is blocking the mountain!
I continue via a tiny backroad towards mining town Al Aguilar. I am riding between 3500 and 4300 meters altitude, which makes this ride challenging. As a bonus, I get bitten by a dog!
Can you believe this day?!

[S2 - Eps. 58] I’m LOST at 4,600 meters altitude in BOLIVIA
I am riding my Royal Enfield Himalayan on the Ruta de las Lagunas in Bolivia. This is day three and things are becoming more difficult. Heavy rainfall made some of the tracks hard to ride, but mostly, it was difficult to navigate. I kept on getting lost on all the tracks and ended up riding some narrow gorge at high altitudes by myself. But what an incredibly beautiful area!!

[S2 - Eps. 53] Sleeping at 4,000 meters altitude at the Argentina-Chile border!!
In this episode, I am riding my motorcycle from Salinas Grandes to the Paso Sico border between Argentina and Chile. I am staying the night right at the border, at 4,000 meters altitude, in a dorm at the customs/immigration office. Definitely one of the strangest places to stay for the night so far!

[S2 - Eps. 5] FIX THAT PUNCTURE!
Part 2 of the first day's ride. Can you believe that luck of catching a nail in the tyre on day numero 1?! On the other hand, this was good practice because it took me 2,5 hours to change the tube. I'm sure next time it will be faster!
But besides the thunderstorm, mud and flat tyre of this day, it was absolutely fantastic. Great trails, beautiful country side and a lot of wildlife keep me happy at any day! I hope tomorrow will be a slightly easier day though..

[S2 - Eps. 47] Can somebody please explain me THIS?
In this episode I am riding a shorter ride from Fiambala to Belen in Argentina. My intentions are to see some sights along the way such as a 18th century church and pre-Inca ruins but I am not very successful! Luckily, I managed to see a Catholic procession in Belen that evening which was interesting to watch.

In this episode my Royal Enfield Himalayan Dhanno gets a service because she clocked 11.000 kilometers. The next day, I'm heading back towards Chile from Villa la Angustura in Argentina.

[S2 - Eps. 54] Goodbye, Argentina!!
After riding my motorcycle around Argentina for more than 3 months, it is finally time to cross the border into Chile one last time. I'm leaving Argentina behind me. It's been an absolute blast, but it's time to move on. I am crossing the border into Chile at Paso Sico - an incredibly beautiful area in the high mountains. But soon I am descending in the ever-dry Atacama Desert, where temperatures rise and water is scarce!

[S2 - Eps. 59] Surviving torrential downpour in Bolivia
In this episode I am riding the last part of Ruta de las Lagunas in Bolivia, while on my way to Uyuni. I thought it would be a short 25 kilometer ride until I would reach the paved road but due to heavy rainfall in the days before, the tracks were flooded, washed away and TOUGH!

[S2 - Eps. 40] Crossing the remote Paso Pichachen in Argentina by motorcycle
Just when I thought the riding couldn't get any better after riding on active Volcano Llaima in National Park Conguillío, Chile - I did this. Crossing mountain pass Paso Pichachen, right at the border of Argentina and Chile.
I don't think the scenery of this amazing motorcycle ride can get any better than this!

[S2 - Eps. 43] I'm so sorry, Dhanno!
An unfortunate drop of my Royal Enfield Himalayan Dhanno in Mendoza resulted in a broken windshield.. It was one of those days! Luckily, that was the only misfortune of the day and the rest of the ride was great!
I am riding my motorcycle through the San Juan province of Argentina on my way to the Paso Agua Negra so I can cross back into Chile!
