A little bit from my friend Juan from Colombia who with his girlfriend on her Himalayan cracked 30,000km in 6 months around South America.
Sorry google translate,
On the 19th of July our land is again. It was a special date, since exactly six months before we had ripped off our journey, but as it happened with almost everything we live in it, it wasn't something we would have planned, chance put us on the border just that day to stay Encumbered in our memoirs, just as there were countless good times we live in that half-year in which we traveled thousands of miles over irbis and Luna, our faithful companions who were always firm to face every challenge that brought us the route.
The last few days were to shoot long days, thus the cameras were kept saved and there were no photos accompanying this story, the desire to arrive led us to do three long stages from Puerto López, Ecuador, to our homes. The bikes, like the whole trip, came working very well. That Yes, with quite dirt on it, because the last time they received water and soap was in Brazil, so that they could see dirt collected in 7 countries. But this did not prevent them from shooting the whole day and allowing us to enjoy every stretch of the road with great comfort and more than anything with absolute tranquility for the confidence they earned throughout the journey.
Passport to south can be summarized in several ways, if we look at it in figures it would be something like this: 30.000 km, roads from 9 countries, 17 border crossings, four pairs of tires, two air filters and 6 Of Oil, a couple of spark plugs, two sets of rear brake pills and a few aprons, two chains plus two sprockets, about 600 gallons of gasoline and 24 liters of oil. Beyond the numbers, this journey is summed up in countless experiences, landscapes and places that enriched us as people, in many new friends that by random issues crossed our way by gaining an important place in our hearts. Anyway, passport to the south was the realization of a dream of two friends, which one day got license to imagine something a little crazy and unusual, to escape from routine for a while, let go of sure and let the trip itself He was taking them away, without plans, without a defined route, no force shirts, open to the unexpected.
It only remains to thank each of those people and companies who gave us hands on this long road, from those who supported us in many ways to make it reality, even those who gave us a smile and treated us with warmth at times where That made a big difference. We must also thank you all for joining us here, in this virtual world that gave us the opportunity to share a little of what lived in this whole tour that does not end here, because ultimately life is a journey and passport south was just A stage of ours, a very important and valuable one. We hope you enjoyed it and more than anything motivated them to dream of their own travels, no matter how long, because travel is not far away, it is to open the heart and mind to receive quantity of unimaginable things waiting for us in any Place and that's what we're trying to do on our way.
