Start the day with a nice soak. Pools are much fuller and quite steamy. 18 miles and 2000 foot drop in elevation later, and we are in a city of sorts. Make our way to nice market and stock up onもっと詳しく

The hills are getting bigger
2024年4月28日, ペルー ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
Struggle to find groceries or even a coffee/breakfast place open. Seems Peruvians eat what we would consider dinner for breakfast. Manage to find something and off we go. Short day and relatively flatもっと詳しく
Alongthe Rio Yavi

Adios Lake Titicaca
2024年4月26日, ペルー ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

Expect the unexpected
2024年4月20日, ボリビア ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Manage a decent start even with a tire change. Though originally intended to stay on main road, decide to venture on the Antigua Camino Machacamarca. On the map it appears to be a land bridge thatもっと詳しく
Poopó
2024年4月19日, ボリビア ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Though a short day planned, more tire issues cause a very late start. Road becomes busier with less consistent shoulders. Llamas and vicuñas give way to tall cows and sheep. A rather fertile valley.もっと詳しく
Challapata along Lago Poopó
2024年4月18日, ボリビア ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Another long day planned but flat terrain suggests a quick ride. Sadly, another flat tire slows us down. Nice jardines de piernas (rock gardens) and lots of llamas make for cool scenery. Make it toもっと詳しく
Quinoa and greenery
2024年4月17日, ボリビア ⋅ 🌙 8 °C
After a dose of kitten cuddles, set off in search of a car wash to rid our bikes of the salt. Unfortunately there was no one at the only one in town. Head north and truly begin our trek to Peru.もっと詳しく

Rest

Stomach issues caught up with me after plaguing Doug yesterday. Slept for a good part of the day. Ventured out for a bit in the blustery sunshine. Nice vegetarian dinner at Llama Cafe.

A wild jeep ride
2024年4月13日, ボリビア ⋅ 🌬 18 °C
Knowing our limits, we opted to catch a ride to jump passed the sandy, rocky ripio. Our gear went inside the jeep and our bikes on top and off we went. And unexpectedly, we went along the lagunas - aもっと詳しく
Rest and flamingos
2024年4月12日, ボリビア ⋅ ⛅ 1 °C
After the last few brutal days, opt to stay put. Do ride a rough road down to the laguna to see the flamingoes. And of course the herds of alpacas. Beautiful place, damn hard to get to.
The roads deteriorates
2024年4月12日, ボリビア ⋅ ☀️ 4 °C
Wake up nice and cozy but head out to watch sunrise over the geysers. Beautiful sight - even with the early morning tourists. Slowly pack up and head out of the geyser basin. Mechanical issues slow usもっと詳しく
Onto the “geezers”
2024年4月10日, ボリビア ⋅ 🌬 9 °C
Morning sunrise over the laguna as the tour jeeps pour in. Decide to go the harder route so that we can sleep in the geysers (or geezers as our Brit friends call them). Relatively easy start and thenもっと詳しく

2024年4月7日, チリ ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
