Ship-it-to-Lima (via Ushuaia) 9:49 PM

Here's the deal:
Daniel and Mauricio will be leaving Colombia on Feb 25th to travel from Ushuaia (Argentina) to Lima (Peru) by land.

We thought it would be a nice gesture of us to deliver something for you.

We will give one person the opportunity to send something to someone in Lima, Peru. A love letter, old stuffed animal, a picture, a small object, anything reasonably small and needless to say not illegal. Marihuana, cocaine, guns, dinamite, babies, animals about to become extinct and national treasures are not accepted. We will not charge you any shipping, postage fees, taxes, nothing.

Reminiscing... 8:21 PM

As Micho previously mentioned, we have somewhat of a short history traveling around the world on motorcycles. Last trip took place in China on a 750cc sidecar ChangJiang WWII machine. Here's a video (in spanish) of Mauricio introducing our motorcycle's capabilities and main characteristics...

Second Big Adventure (together) 8:12 PM

Daniel and I have been friends for quite some time now. It wasn't motorcycles that brought us together but they have certainly brought us closer. This is not the first time we travel together on some crazy and wild adventure. About 4-5 ago years Daniel was living in Beijing, China. About 4 months after getting there he invited me to come visit, I did. We ended up renting a motorcycle with a side car and traveling around China for about 3 weeks. The experience was amazing and left us with thirst for more. Having the oportunity of working with Compass Expeditions on this upcoming trip will most likely leave us again with our mouths watering for more adventure but that is one kind of thirst that is tough to quench! So let's get thirsty!

Tickets: booked 10:14 PM

Thank you Travelocity.com for providing us with tickets all the way from Bogotá to Ushuaia! (no, we’re not getting paid for putting this stuff up here).

After much online browsing and harassing travel agencies, today we finally booked a Bogotá-Ushuaia, Lima-Bogotá roundtrip. We are leaving in precisely 15 days, February 25th. At that point in time, we will jump on four different airplanes in order to reach our finaly destination: Ushuaia.

For those of you not familiar with Ushuaia, it is proclaimed the southernmost city in the world. Also capital of Argentinian provice Tierra del Fuego.

Mauricio and I will be working as guides in Compass Expeditions during 50 days, only this time we start our journey at the tip of the South American continent riding our way north through Patagonian plains, the Andes and the Atacama desert all the way to Perú’s mystical Machu Picchu.
