Bikepacking The Peru Divide Trail
No! Yes!! no!!! yeah!!!! no !!!!! yes !!!!!! -Steeled black-rimmed eyes and sour expressions from both sides. This is how the communication between 2 grown men and a woman played out, at a bus station in a tiny Peruvian village, at 5 in the morning. We had bought a ticket for the night bus from Cusco to Ayacucho, [...]
Around the mountain Ausangate
We have been really looking forward to Peru. The country with the beautiful high mountains and impressive passes. Where cycling form will be challenged and the eyes will be at work overtime in the beautiful nature. Ride higher than we've ever been before and ride some of the most famous bikepacking routes. Something that we have been very much looking forward to [...]
The journey from nature to culture
Ahhhhhh we take a deep breath of the lovely familiar scent and smile at each other. We are in a beautiful conifer forest. Completely different from the landscape the day before. Tall large trees with long needles and cones on the ground. Such a lovely shade. And then the sweet smell. It's like being in Denmark. On […]
Israel and Salar de Uyuni
After spending over four months in Chile and Argentina, we drove over the border to Bolivia on May 31st. It's interesting how a border on a map can mean so much. A different culture, people and norms. We have now been in Bolivia for 12 days and we already love the country. […]
Abra del Acay
In Cafayate we sat at a small table in a cozy courtyard, together with Tomas and drank local wine and ate delicious Asado. Asado is the life right of all Argentines, it's basically barbecue, and Tomas is an Argentinian guy who we've been cycling with for a week, in the north of Argentina. That […]
Quien se apura en la Patagonia pierde el tiempo
A local proverb says that those who hurry in Patagonia lose time. We were absolutely delighted when we heard that, because that is exactly how we experience the place. Time loses its meaning, and the great nature sets the agenda with wind and weather. The day on the bike is not to achieve something, […]
The mythical crossing
There are many ways to cross a country border. One of the most mythical crossings we have heard of must be the one from El Chaltén in Argentina to Villa O'Higgins in Chile. A legend among long-distance cyclists and hardy backpackers. The border itself is far out in the middle of nowhere, between Lago del Desierto, "The lake in the wilderness", and [...]
Torres del Paine National Park
Tierre del Fuego has been fascinating, but also very barren and windy. It was therefore absolutely magical to cycle from Puerto Natales on a beautiful and almost windless day towards the Torres del Paine National Park. We met a guy on the road who worked in the park as a guide. He said this was his favorite road in all of Patagonia. […]
The first 500 km
Then we finally got started. Now we have prepared, read, packed, traveled to Ushuaia, tried to learn Spanish, cycled to the end of the world. And now. Now we finally have to start the real adventure. The three days in Buenos Aires were nice and warm, but we were both so filled with the joy of anticipation that […]
