New Adventure in South America
We are welcoming our tour guest for the next big adventure in South America. Like every year we are looking forward to explore the Altiplano region of Bolivia. starting from Arica, North-Chile we ride to La Paz, the Road of Death in the Yungas, Lake Titicaca and - of course - to the mystic Salar de Uyuni. After this outstanding highlights we are visiting the silver mines of Potosí. After being in altitudes over 13500ft. (4100m) since the start of our trip, everyone is happy to feel the oxygen in the air again while riding to Tarija and crossing the border to Argentina. Next Stopp for us is the beautiful city of Salta. O after visiting the marvelous city we go back to the mountains to the small town of Purmamarca with its lovely small main square full of handy crafts. Next riding day contains one highlight after the other...crossing from Argentina to Chile, famous Pass Road “Paso de Jamas” and finally San Pedro de Atacama! Last chance to make some shopping on the local market at daytime and enjoying the breathtaking sunset in the Moon Valley befor we start to our final riding day from the Atacama desert to Antofagasta at the coast of Chile.
