Ruta 9 Uruguay: La Paloma to Punta del Diablo.
/0 Comments/in South America, Travelogue, Uruguay /by allanI bid farewell to the nearly ghost town of La Paloma and headed northeast toward Punta del Diablo. With two destinations on my mind, I figured I could check out the infamous dunes of one of Uruguay’s few national parks, Cabo Polonia, and to walk in the shadowy history of one of the legendary Spanish […]
Jose Ignacio to La Paloma. The sandy dirt track.
/1 Comment/in South America, Travelogue, Uruguay /by allanI got off pronto the following morning winding my way along the coast, past beautiful homes and the roaring Atlantic Ocean. Things were more tranquil after crossing this unique if not wacky bridge that represented, I think, the rolling waves, and found myself rolling into El Barro. Nice quaint, toned down.

Montevideo to Punta del Este

More than half the country’s population lives the historical capital city of Montevideo, which was founded by Spain in the late 1600’s after the Portuguese founded Colonia just a few hours southwest. A rough history for the next 150 years finally […]
Goodbye Buenos Aires. Hello Uruguay!
/2 Comments/in Argentina, South America, Travelogue, Uruguay /by allanThe late night with the crew at Las Lilas pushed my departure date back by a day. But it’s getting cold here. I’m looking forward to sandy beaches, warm weather and Brazilian culture. Though I’ll lament leaving Buenos Aires, it’s clear that I must push on. New experiences to write about. New environments to capture […]
Bidding Farewell to Buenos Aires.
/1 Comment/in Argentina, South America, Travelogue /by allanI’ve dragged out my stay in Argentina and Buenos Aires for a long time. I am sure Javier and Sandra at Dakar Motos think I’ll never leave. But even this good time must pass. More bikes rolled into Buenos Aires and Dakar Motos over the last week. There’s Helge from Norway riding a heavily modified […]
