Need your help finding a lost rider in Bolivia. Nicolas Holzem, 44, White DR650
 
Hey guys, on June 16th 2019, 44 year old Luxembourg rider Nicolas Holzem crossed the border from Peru into Puerto Acosta, Bolivia and got his immigration/customs stamps. After that, the trail goes cold and we are still trying to figure out where he went after that.

His sister Catherine started a thread in the South America section to look for him:
https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hu...iker-his-99089

She is flying to Bolivia in a couple of days (August 8th) to start a search for her brother and find out what happened to him.

She thinks that he was headed for La Paz on June 17th and that the next place he wanted to visit was the Yungus Road, aka Calle de la Muerte.

Most of us who have done these trips know the risks involved and how lucky we were to avoid a bad situation.

We need to all pitch in here and figure out where Nicolas is.

The reason why I decided to post this here is the search thread in the South America section has been getting a lackluster response from Hubb riders who are actually doing South America trips right now. I figure that this section is a better place to find local riders in Bolivia who can show Nicolas' picture around and ask questions to local motorcycle groups/ shops, restaurants, hostals, hotels, etc in the area.

I have shared that posting a few Latin American travel groups but heard nothing back. I truly hope you guys are able to find him quickly! I will keep an ear to the ground as well. Keep us posted [emoji2509][emoji100][emoji177]

Holy shit, I met this very cool guy in mexico months ago. Keep me updated on if you guys find him!!

Note:

He showed me pictures of his rides, and he loves to go off the beaten path and off roading on his bike. He didn't have the best safety gear, so he may have gotten stuck somewhere with a mechanical failure or gotten hurt. Best thing to do would be to look for all the off-roading trails near his last known location and begin to search there.

Drive to every single hostel first thing and ask about him - he hops hostel to hostel you should be able to trace him to the day he went missing by tracking the hostels - get access to his booking and hsotelworld accounts. Then you have a search radius.

Catherine relató, a los medios de comunicación locales, que una vez en Trinidad, su persona se dirigió a un hotel céntrico, oportunidad en que la responsable de recepción le comentó que vio a Nicolás a principios de julio, quien buscaba hospedarse, pero al no lograr el ingreso de su motocicleta grande, dejó de
insistir y se fue.
Expresó que el citado dato
es el más concreto que logró hasta el momento, porque la recepcionista que afirma haberlo visto lo reconoció a través de las fotografías que mostró su persona.

De acuerdo con los datos que la familia colocó en el grupo de Facebook, Nicolás mide 1,7 metros de altura. Su motocicleta es una Suzuki blanco DR650 (registro canadiense o placa Y34412). “Es un motociclista muy experimentado y ha estado por América del Sur desde abril, pero no ha estado en contacto desde el 15 de junio de 2019”, anotó la familia.
