We ride big chunks of the Pan American Highway in South America. This means beautifully paved roads will be mixed in with interesting historic and cultural destinations. Furthermore, expect wildlife, Unesco World Heritage sites, with incredible scenery as their backdrop. Delve into awesome experiences with both locals, team, and crew members.
There will be plenty to write home about. This is a demanding journey and riders need to be prepared for anything. The trip is intended only for adventure touring enthusiasts. Those of you who can demonstrate extensive riding experience. You have to have the physical condition as well as social qualities conducive to teamwork. Also, you must have the required flexibility for the success of the journey.
Experienced Riders
We will be going up to high altitudes around 5,000 meters where it can become quite cold. While most of the journey will be in humid and warm tropical conditions. The expedition will be fully supported with a 4×4 support truck, on-bike guides, and a very experienced crew from MotoDreamer. You can choose to ride either your own bike or rent a fully equipped dual sport bike from MotoDreamer in Colombia.
We stay in mid-to-top-range hotels. We always opt for the best option available – a clean, safe, and practical location. Temperatures can vary between 12 to 40°C (53.6 F to 104°F). Temperatures can drop for a short period going over the mountain passes. It is recommended to ride with ventilated riding gear. A pullover rain suite is a good idea to carry against mountain temperatures and possible short rain showers that can occur year-round.
