My bike and luggage |
My first ride with my new bike. It's very comfortable but also very heavy with bags.
Hola,Hello,Hallo!!!!!
I've
decided to write this blog both as a personal diary and to share with
you, my friends, how I get on with my journey round South America.
I'll do my best to keep the blog updated with information and photos.
My
trip will start around 15th August. I'm going to fly from Munich or
Salzburg to Buenos Aires where my bike journey will begin. My bike
journey starts in Argentina. I'm going to cycle approximately 15000
kilometres, which will take me 8 months more or less. From Belem in
Brazil to Foz do Iguazú I’ll travel by bus. My goal is to cycle
through all the countries in South America. The highlights of my
journey will be: crossing Salar de Uyuni- the biggest salt sea in the
world, visiting Machu Pichu (only if I can go there by bike), cycling
along a pass over 4800 over the sea level, crossing Guyana from
Lethem to Georgetown- a very remote area through the jungle in Guyana
and finally, visiting the Iguazú Falls.
The
next posts will be about my preparations, especially my bike and
things I must pack. In the map below you can sea the route I'm taking
if everything goes as planned. Hasta Luego.
