Chimborazo

We attempted to visit Chimborazo, the top of which is the point on Earth that is closest to the sun. We didn't make it. Watch to see what happened.
Riding Pasto to Ipiales (Colombia)
มุมมอง 2021 วันที่ผ่านมา
As we continued south towards the border between Colombia and Ecuador, we enjoyed the wonderful views as we wove our way through the mountains. It's so nice to be at elevation and enjoy cooler weather despite being near the equator!
Trampoline of Death - Colombia
มุมมอง 12221 วันที่ผ่านมา
We rode the famous Trampoline of Death between Mocoa and Pasto. This 58 km stretch of packed dirt is narrow and has many blind corners, but also provides some stunning views, at least when it's not all fogged in. All in all, it's not the most difficult road we've ridden, but you need to pay attention for oncoming traffic and watch those steep drops!
Moroccan Honeymoon
มุมมอง 2021 วันที่ผ่านมา
At the 2024 Horizons Unlimited Ecuador travellers meeting, we had the opportunity to share the motorcycle adventure we had in Morocco in 2019. Morocco was an incredible experience for us, as you will see!
Riding in the Tatacoa Desert

Here are a few moments from our ride along the Tatacoa Desert ring road.
Tatacoa Desert - full video
มุมมอง 202 หลายเดือนก่อน
This video shows every inch of the ring road through the Tatacoa Desert in Colombia. It's a long video as we ride slow and without a lot of confidence in sand. As you go through the video you will see the GPS points for each intersection and mileage from the previous intersection.
Riding by Nevado del Ruiz
มุมมอง 453 หลายเดือนก่อน
There is a wonderful, newly paved road that runs between Libano and Manizales (Colombia). This road climbs to an elevation of 4151m as it passes by Nevado del Ruiz. Because no trucks, buses or heavy vehicles are allowed on this road, the road is in excellent condition and it is absolutely fantastic for a motorcycle ride. This route is just 106 km long, but it took us 6 hours to ride as we stopp...
Crossing the Border - Colombia to Venezuela
มุมมอง 3154 หลายเดือนก่อน
Here's a detailed video showing how to cross the border into Venezuela from Cúcuta, Colombia.
Riding Bucaramanga to Pamplona
มุมมอง 194 หลายเดือนก่อน
The ride started sunny and hot in Bucaramanga at 1000m, and wound steadily along twisty mountain roads up to colder, even foggy elevations in excess of 3450m en route to Pamplona. This was definitely one of the best rides we've had on our whole trip so far. Come along and enjoy the ride with us!
Emerald mining in Colombia
มุมมอง 6864 หลายเดือนก่อน
Most of the world's emeralds come from Colombia, and we wanted to learn more about how these precious gems are found.
Taking the ferry from Sierpe
มุมมอง 808 หลายเดือนก่อน
We decided to take the ferry across the river at Sierpe (Costa Rica) en route to Drake Bay. This video shows you what that ferry crossing is like. It also shows you a few minutes of the road conditions south of the ferry crossing. Once across the river, if you want to get to Drake Bay, the following route avoids having to do any water crossings: From Sierpe to Hwy 245 N8° 51.556' W83° 28.439' N...
Taking the boat to Livingston

We took a boat from Rio Dulce to Livingston (Guatemala), a Garifuna community on the Caribbean coast of Guatemala.

Here is an update on the projects we've visited in the first seven months of our RTW journey.
Isla de Flores, Guatemala
มุมมอง 105ปีที่แล้ว
Here's a quick peek at the island of Flores in Lake Petén, Guatemala, 90 km west of the border with Belize. This town is a popular spot for travellers because of its proximity to sites like Tikal and Yaxha.

Very helpful, thanks.

Is it possible to cross to Venezuela without a visa from cucuta border crossing?? My country is not listed as a visa free entry to Venezuela
As far as I know, anyone can cross at Cucuta. If you require a visa ahead of time, the consulate in Cucuta is an easy place to get it, but there are other Venezuelan consulates where you could go. It is a controlled border, so.if you require a visa, don't try crossing here without one!
My grandma crossed my uncle into the u.s when i was 10 years old it was super easy we asked if we can go to payless which was rite next to the border when we crossed the u.s my uncle got in the truck n we left home thank you for this video
Amazing! When we were there we had to delay our visit for 1 day because of the rain 😂😂😂😂
Oh no!
I can't even imagine riding that in the rain!!
Hey, solid video guys! Very interesting topic. Btw Im on a long term motorcycle project myself and currently am in colombia - you guys still around?
Yes. We're on the north coast at the moment. Find us on FB or IG and PM us!
@@TwonieProject messaged you back 😉
Great detailed video! Thansk
Thanks guys!! I am heading to the HU event in Nakusp, as per your advice and am super excited to attend. Safe travels and I hope to be able to use this video for my travels.
Awesome! Enjoy!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. We also loved the experience. It's amazing what people can do for a chance to get lucky :( Still amazing work
Hey, thanks for the tip on finding the guide!
Hi Guys. just rewatched the video. how is the adventure going.
Hey Lee! It's going really well. We're in Colombia now. We've been at it 14 months and still going strong. You can see what we're up to on Faceboook and Instagram - search "Twonie Peoject".
❤
Too the point. Very educational. Thank you!
another thank you from me also , best wishes to you for taking the time to add so much helpful detail .
This is the crossing that we’re going to use sometime next month. Did the grumpy guy speak any English or was everyone right pretty much Spanish only? Our Spanish is horrible but we’re trying to learn lol
Yes, he did speak some English as I remember. As long as you're humble and try your best you should be fine.
Sounds good, we definitely try to stay humble as we can! Thank you for the info and hope you continue to have safe travels!!
Still like it?
Yes. In fact, Michael bought one too, and we've been a year from Canada to Colombia with them.
@@TwonieProject very nice. I was between the Urbane mk3 and honister. I went Urbane due to more ventilation and only riding during spring/summer. It’s my first bike and first jacket.
@@JayyBird93We're planning to use them even as we continue south through colder weather. We will layer a heated shirt under, and down jacket and rain shell over. Hopefully that will carry us through to Ushuaia!
@@TwonieProject good luck and safe travels!
Great video! My moto group is heading south in two weeks. We have a French horn that we purchased for El Oasis that we will be delivering on our trip!
Kevin - send me a note with your details via our email (michaelangelo@twonieproject.com) and I'll let El Oasis know to expect you.
@@TwonieProject Thanks! I am actually already in contact with them and they are expecting us. I was looking for content to share to tell the story there and your video is perfect.
Cool place! We had the pleasure of reaching this place during a Baja trip in 2017. Glad you got to visit it the next day.
Thanks for the info! Expecially the TIP info - I had heard that riders who did not get the TIP at the Baja border had to return to the US/Mexico border to get the TIP. We’ll plan on getting the TIP in Baja, however.
Remember, if you get two TIPs for two vehicles, do NOT use the same credit card for both!
@@TwonieProject Is this because the credit card blocked the card because it looked suspicious?
@@viajarMOTO No, because when you go to get your refund their system has a problem refunding the same credit card twice. We didn't know. We did eventually get our money, but we had to hound them via email for a month.
@@TwonieProject Great advice. Thanks!
Thanks for putting this together! We hope to ride in your tracks later this year.
It's easier to fill out and pay for your FMM online. Take the printed-out form AND receipt to the guy in the little office to stamp. Saves some steps.
Is Highway 3 to Ensenada from Tecate safe?
We had no issues, so our experience says yes. Best plan is to never ride at night - between the potholes, animals, speed bumps, pedestrians, unlit vehicles and drunks the risk isn't worth the reward.
Thanks for the info buddy I'm thinking about taking a bus does a bus go through there
Sorry, that I don't know.
A bus does go to the Tecate border rt 894?
What insurance did you provide to Mexican officials. I heard you have to purchase Mexican insurance before you cross the border? Idk if that's true for all Mexican border crossings.
We don't recall having to show the insc we bought online when we entered Mexico.
Saw you two in villas vilar in playa del coco. Left you a note on your bike
hey guys, I hope you are doing well and you are enjoying this trip, greetings from the hotel del centro (perote, veracruz)
You guys are amazing! Keep doing wonderful things! Safe travels to you! Hopefully, our paths will cross in South America when we get down there next year!
Looking forward to it!
Very neat update. I would enjoy seeing more on the places you are helping!
We're slowly putting together short videos on each project.
What an adventure, and so lovely to be able to bless so many people!
It's truly awesome, all the more because it's not just us, but all of our friends who are working with us to do these things.
Great to see you guys! Thanks for the update & keep up the great work!
Thanks! Keep holding the fort while we're away.
You were the most exciting thing to happen there in a long time. Its good to see the smiles and laughs and no issue. Your spanish has gotten better! I am jealous.
I think we're going to be the most exciting thing seen in a lot of locations, at least the small towns!
Good job on your Spanish!
Que Dios les guíe en su caminar. Yo estuve en Tapachula hace unos días, tengo familia en Tapachula, soy de allá. Saludos desde Aguascalientes
Gracias!
Your such a good citizen. Nobody ever buys permits etc to be in Mexico.
I guess we hang with a different crowd! We didn't want problems crossing from La Paz to Topolobampo.
Did the walk thru and on return to the US Customs gave this US citizen born and raised in NY a hard time and detained me. That’s after walking into Mexico and officials not even giving me a second look. A dog and pony show for sure. Got great tacos while in Mexico. Walk thru and make a left at the first light and boom a nice open restaurant and it’s BYOB. Got Tecate beers for us and the restaurant staff right across the street.
Just wanted to say thanks for posting this information. We crossed at Tecate this morning, and your video was super helpful. We knew exactly where to go, thank you!
Glad it helped! Enjoy your time in Mexico, and say hi if you catch up to us!
Do you need the title to your vehicle?
In British Columbia we don't have what you call a title, only registration. They wanted the original. I told them that what I handed them was original and they accepted that.
@@TwonieProject thank you so much. Enjoyed your video and it was loaded with very helpful info.
Thank you for the Canadian content. Much appreciated!
No problem, eh!
Thatsa lotta trees and greenery - like you're driving thru a jungle!
At higher altitudes here we get to enjoy the wonderful scent of pine!
@@TwonieProject the aroma of christmas holidays enjoyed in the summer time!👍
Are those structures types of temples maybe ? It looks like it would be cooking hot up there in full sun !
Given the elevation, it's not that hot here.
Saludos y bendiciones. Saludos a Angela, desde Aguascalientes
This is Cathy of Ridingonandon. Totally felt your pain Angela! Good job on the video!
Thanks Cathy!
I found navigation a struggle at times as well. One time both Garmin and Google aggreed there was a road. I ended up in a farmers field with no clear trail. I had to ask the farmers how to get back.
I know right? It happens to us all the time!
How rude of those maps hey??!! 😝
thatsa super looooong short cut! these paths look like the trails I used to ride through the quarries just outside of Winnipeg on our little Honda 50 mini bike when I was a kid ! Fun times 😆!
Garmin and Google Maps make them look so short and easy sometimes, gah!
I'm really enjoying watching as your production value grows and expands with each video <3 You guys are both doing amazing!
Thanks! We try and strike a balance between providing interesting content and NOT creating a whole new job for ourselves!
Mike, I know of a group of refugee students who were all given their own basic recorders so that each student had their own instrument. Recorders are super cheap to purchase - maybe this might be an idea to help supply the school with enough recorders for each student? God bless
Thanks! You can check with El Oasis if you're interested in donating, but I believe because recorders are so cheap they have enough of them. It's the more expensive instruments that are harder to acquire.
How much?
Go to Corbin's website - they have a configuration tool that will allow you to customize the seat with the materials and extras you like, and they will give you a price based on what you select.
