This is gold. Thanks

Can we all confirm that as of 2015 you do NOT need to visit the the Auduna at S22.44090° W67.80595°

Thanks Andy and all for the infos gathered here, it's just gold to me in this stage of my trip ! I have no more doubt I must do this zone :)

Nevertheless, I guess I'll be doing it once back from north, entering from Chile - Ollagüe and out in San Pedro de Atacama.
I share here why to check your opinion about it : being currently in Salta with tyres about to be changed (quite more expensive in Argentina than bordering countries as far as I know) and moreover with an undiagnosed front end oscillation and a luggage excess (independent, oscillation confirmed with all luggages off the bike). Most probable is that changing tyres will solve the oscillation problem, but still not confirmed until doing it. I'm also still at the very beginning of my first large riding trip and have no experience of dirt at all (well, nearly).
It seems predictable that tyre's prices in San Pedro de Atacama wouldn't be that cheaper compared to Argentina for the tourism there, if someone has infos about it I take. And I guess going on with my trip I'll go on sending back home some stuff to get lighter (as I started a few times yet), and improve my understanding and handling of the bike, and off-road capabilities.
I would be back in this zone around jan/feb 2016, which I understand would be the hottest & wettest moment, so maybe a reason to go now despite all the rest...
Any opinion about it ? Can I find cheap tyres in San Pedro ?

Thanks in advance !

Hey zin, when are you planning to ride that route? I'm in Arequipa now but heading to Arica and Iquique. From there I'll be going east to ollague and riding the Laguna route.

Hi c-m,

I'm now in Salta, feeling unsufficiently prepared to do it from San Pedro toward Uyuni, and thus heading north to go on with Bolivia (and a quick loop in Uyuni while it's still dry). I'll be doing this laguna's track from north to south once back from Colombia in some months.

Have fun and share some pics if you can :)
