Ep, com anem? Quant de temps, eh… Espero que tot bé. Jo, després d’un llarg parèntesi laboral i familiar, al gener vaig encetar la tercera i última etapa de la volta al món.

What’s up? I’m writing from the southernmost city of the planet, Ushuaia. This is the horizon towards where I started pedalling three and a half years ago, when I set off from Alaska after having having ridden all Eurasia from West to East. It looks, then, that I’m done with the second stage of […] Continue Reading 0 THROUGH THE ATACAMA DESERT By Raimon on 10/01/2018 in America, Photo-Stages, The Americas, World Tour When I arrived in Chile I decided to move away from the cold and high roads of the Andes and pedal along the desert fort a while. Once in San Pedro de Atacama, I started following the Pan-American highway towards the city of Calama, once the capital of the saltpetre mines and now the capital of the copper ones. After stocking up […] Continue Reading 0 UTURUNCU (OR CYCLING AT 5,770 METERS ABOVE THE SEA) By Raimon on 08/06/2017 in America, Photo-Stages, World Tour After my frustrated attempt of climbing Mount Huayna Potosí (near La Paz), the South-West of Bolivia offered me the last opportunity to crown my first six thousand meter high peak. The Uturuncu volcano, measuring 6,008 meters high, was only a few kilometres away from my path. It is said to be one of the easiest six […] Continue Reading 0 ACROSS THE SALAR DE UYUNI By Raimon on 05/06/2017 in America, Photo-Stages, The Americas, World Tour Next to our incursion into Los Yungas region we returned to the Altiplano. In the town of Oruro we stopped two days to plan (with the help of a very useful PDF and the website Andes by Bike) the section of Bolivia that made me more excited: the Salar de Uyuni and the department of Potosí. After Santiago de Huari we arrived […] Continue Reading 0 THE DEATH ROAD (AND BEYOND) By Raimon on 03/06/2017 in Photo-Stages, The Americas, World Tour From La Paz we set off for Carretera de los Yungas, sadly known as the Carretera de la Muerte (Death Road) due to the large number of accidents that occurred until 2007, when an alternative route was finally opened.

Com va això? Jo ja paro per San Pedro de Atacama, on aprofito la calor del desert per recuperar-me de tres mesos força intensos… A pocs quilòmetres de deixar el Perú i els seus suplicis, ja vaig notar alguna de les millores que m’esperaven a Bolívia. Per exemple: pedalant cap a la frontera, alguns dels camions […] Continue Reading 0 FROM AYACUCHO TO LAKE TITICACA By Raimon on 01/03/2017 in America, Photo-Stages, World Tour After spending New Year’s Eve in Ayacucho as planned, we decided to start 2017 with an improvisation: instead of continuing following the Andes, we would make a detour to the jungly region og VRAEM, a part of the country that still suffers from the consequences of the armed conflict between the Peruvian state and the Shining Path. Malgrat les […] Continue Reading 0 THE HUAYHUASH AND THE CENTRAL SIERRA By Raimon on 22/02/2017 in America, Photo-Stages, World Tour From Huaraz to Ayacucho I followed a part of the so-called Peru’s Great Divide that I found in Andes by Bike. Compared to the dimension of Peru it was not a very long stretch (a little more than 1,000 kilometres), but the the rainy season, the mud, the thin air and the accumulated efforts made me sweat for five whole weeks… […] Continue Reading 0 1 2 … 7 Next → * Popular * Latest * Comments * Mail from Lesotho 09/05/2019 * Powered by EPO in Kyrgyzstan 19/07/2014 * Tajikistan and the Pamir Highway 15/06/2014 * From Desert to Paradise (Baja) 10/04/2015 * Welcome to Tijuana 18/03/2015 * Mail from Lesotho 09/05/2019 * Mail from South Africa 11/04/2019 * Mail from Ushuaia 28/02/2018 * Through the Atacama Desert 10/01/2018 * Uturuncu (or cycling at 5,770 meters above the sea) 08/06/2017 * Mario: Molt bonic, per què no vas creuar cap a Kashgar? ... * Mario: Per suposat que m'ha agradat... * Anton: Beautiful Lesootoo!
