Valparaíso - Valparaíso - Nov. 2019 - Jan. 2020
Hello everyone,
my name is Rolf, I'm from Germany and at the time of the trip I'll be 39 years old.
On previous trips, I've taken a Yamaha 660 Tenere to the Pamir Highway, Mongolia, Iran, aso.
I'd consider myself as a medium advanced offroad rider and this time I'll take a Suzuki DRZ 400 with a little lighter luggage, for more fun off road.
The trip will start beginning of November 2019 and take 3 months.
My plan is to camp not more than 3 nights in a row, take medium-cheap hostels and experience the local nightlife occasionally.
In terms of riding, I'm planning to stay off the main roads as much as possible/reasonable, find challenging tracks here and there and take a day for sightseeing or relaxing when I feel like it.
Usually I used to do ~1000-1500km per week, with exceptions.
I'd like to see lake Titicaca, maybe Machu Picchu, or some other ruins, as the northernmost point and Moreno glacier as the southernmost point. Maybe Ushuaia, depending on time and how much I'll be annoyed by the wind.
I'll be travelling alone, but definetely wouldn't mind company, either for some parts of the trip, or even the whole time, if our plans and ideas match.
Especially the very challenging and very remote parts I'll probably think twice, before I try them on my own, like riding on 5.000+m on a volcano or trying to reach O'Higgins via "Paso Rio Mayer".
Also I'm open for recommendations regarding route, climate or anything else.
Safe ride everyone,
Rolf
