After crossing the Darien Gap with our motorcycle on a sailboat from Panama, we got back onto dry land (with relief), and entered the rugged continent of South America. Starting in Colombia, we rode the Andes Mountains all the way down to the most southern tip of the Americas: Ushuaia in Argentina.

Ecuador
As we made loops around Ecuador, we discovered that it's at a perfect crossroads between the majestic Incan culture of the High Andes, and the tropical Latin vibes of the steaming jungles and coast.

Bolivia
The Bolivian visa for Americans is expensive ($160/pp), so we almost didn't go. But I'm so glad we did because this amazing country gave us some of our most memorable experiences.

As we zig-zagged our way through Chile and Argentina, we came across canyons and deserts, jagged peaks and glaciers, and we even saw some penguins at the end of the world.
