La Gran Adventura: Minnesota-Argentina

My son and I are embarking on our trip in mid-May on two 2009 KLRs. Please join us on this journey through the link below. I will provide a new link about every 3-5 days. My apologies for not posting all the pictures on this site but my time is really limited at the end of each day. I'll try to keep up with messages as I'm able. - Jay

Have a safe trip on your trip to the south. I've always thought an adventure like yours would really be something to remember for many years. Good luck and thanks for the RR.

I think you'll really enjoy this portion of our trip - especially a ride outside of Oaxaca.

Thanks for your patience waiting for trip updates. We're now in Cartagena, Colombia and here is an accounting of our last few days.

In case you've missed earlier updates here is a link to get you caught up....https://jayrasmussen.smugmug.com/

Stay tuned for more ride reports as we move further into Colombia.

Check out our adventures in Cartagena and Medellin (and points in between). So far our only regret is that the trip is almost half over!

After about nine days in Colombia we'll soon be crossing into Ecuador.

Friends and Family,


We've made the jump to Ecuador now. Join us as we finish off our time in Colombia and visit Quito - the highest capital city in the world.

Blessings,


Jay and Conor

Just as I sorta expected....a great ride report and so enjoyable to read.
Those should be memories to last a lifetime and totally price-less. Thanks for doing this for the rest of us.

Gary

Our pleasure, Gary. Thanks for following along.

We're in Banos, Ecuador now and we love the place (both the area and Hostel Chiminea). We'll probably spend an extra night here.
