[S2 - Eps. 67] Bolivia in the rainy season - LANDSLIDES!

- Riding a motorcycle through Bolivia in the rainy season can be tricky! In this episode, I am riding to a small place called Independencia. I was planning to ride to Quime, but the ride took much longer than expected and 25 kilometers before I reached Independencia, it started raining. The roads quickly became muddy and slippery and the water crossings turned into violent mud flows. Not an easy ride this one!!

I am riding solo around the world on my Royal Enfield Himalayan 'Dhanno'!

Please note that I recorded this video BEFORE the Corona crisis! For updates on how I’m dealing with the Covid-19 outbreak NOW, follow me on instagram (@itchybootstravel) or Facebook (Itchy Boots). Stay safe and healthy! 🙌
Stay safe and healthy to u too Noraly..love u frm Bijang😍
Yes we all know about it. But Any way you should take care during this unfavorable conditions, i don't know it's for better or worse but you should stay safe and away from people 🙏🙏🙏
Yeah it's all going into lockdown now, and family members are getting quarantined , but your videos are breath of fresh air, keep them going, we love em!
Be safe madam... Please safe ride. Eat healthy food and vitamins 🙏🙏
Be safe and healthy.
Respect that worker who took off his hat to greet you..!!👍
Hear hear its nice to see a person with good manners nowadays
Still true gentlemen in this world.
There are a few gentlemen left.
That dude was being sarcastic but her happy greeting saved the moment.
The sinister music fits perfectly!!! lol
Agree. Very dramatic soundtrack!
Rodney Fuqua sounds like GOT music....
Yes! mins 11...12...13 excelent, sinister? yes, very dramatic.
Hey folks, are you forgetting, this woman is intelligent, she's ridden in places most of us will never go, she has ridden roads less traveled and has endured many hardships. I trust she's well aware of the global circumstances and quite capable of assessing her risks as she has shown for months. I get a kick out of those she meets and they look amazed when they find out she's doing this 'alone'. Thumbs up to you Noraly. May your adventures continue to be eventful and bring joy, hardship, pleasure and excitement! Thank you for taking us along on the "internet". Whatever you decide is fine with me.
Brave, brave, brave girl. And what a fantastic navigator you are! Thank you for showing us a South Amenrica that we would never know, if not.
Thanks to Noraly and other travelers we know the real magnificence of our planet and proves the farse of the over populate planet Earth.
Noraly, was du auf dieser Etappe (besonders als es regnete) geleistet hast, war grenzwertig. Die überflutete Straße wäre für mich eine dicke, fette rote Linie gewesen. Respekt! Nun weiß ich ja, wie du dich wirklich in solchen Situationen fühlst, weil ich gerade dein Buch lese. Vor der Kamera, so scheint es, bist du die selbstbewusste, lustige, immer lachende Frau und somit für unzählige Menschen ein Vorbild. Bringst du deine Gedanken und Gefühle zu Papier, erscheint vor meinem geistigen Auge eine liebevolle, verletzbare, unsichere, zweifelnde, ängstliche und manchmal auch wütende Frau, welche mittels Weltreise auf dem Motorrad ihr früheres Leben verarbeitet. I love you, Noraly! ❤👍
Whoa that last water crossing you tested by walking was really scary.
-One slip of the boot and experience..... the waterfall ride... Would have been viral video for sure, especially from drone..
I’m surprised we didn’t get to see the crossing!
@@spiceweasel945 I would suspect all attention was on the crossing and all cameras were put away for protection just in case. I was glad she made it across, those fast moving streams on a steep mountain slope could end up turning into landslides or debris flows.
pw lg - while it’s true those flows are high risk indicators of potential mass movement (especially given the context), she had little choice but to cross and clearly did so. The cameras are waterproof so can’t see any reason to put them away, especially as time was pressing and she already had it on. She obviously chose to turn them off or just not use the footage for reasons best known only to herself.
@@spiceweasel945 She explained in other vid, that she just forgot to turn the camera on.
I never realised that Bolivia was so beautiful. 💖
When the majestic music starts I know we are all in for a visual treat. This was your best drone footage to date. Absolutely first rate video and fantastic scenery.
agreed!! (: Noraly, I would love to just get on my bike and try follow her around!!! Great rider, awesome attitude, great fun !
Oh what a day. The last part made me anxious. But the best shot was the drone following you on the curvy road...You have 'tamed ' the drone so well. 👍👍👍 Take care and God bless you.
15 minutes into the video and the skill on how you managed to manoeuvre through the tricky dirt roads I heaved a sigh of relief. Respect respect and respect - stay safe young lady. You are precious.
Sen ne güzel macera heyecanı yaşayan bir bayansin. Herkesin yâda bu motor macerasına atılmak ve gezmek isteyen kişilerin yapmak isteğini gerceklestiriyorun tebrik ederim tekerin patlamasin.
I can't help it: I simply enjoy the way you drive those difficult tracks. Music choice is nice .... as we are used to by now. Jaws theme ... 😄👍
The ominous musical score really adds to the excitement and the tension
The carving of these roads on the sides of the mountains is more more impressive to me as I get older. Your excellent drone work in this episode illustrates the magnitude of the task (of road construction) very vividly.
Take care we look forward to seeing you more than ever.
Noraly's videos are therapy for me.Whenever i think life is getting too hard ,I watch Itchy Boots and see the challenges Noraly has to deal with and everything gets back into perspective.
I find all those curved mountain roads with all those small streams flowing across them - incredibly beautiful.
will never have a better tour guide. thanx noraly
Wow!!! that road was amazing and the dramatic music fitted so well, my heart was beating faster as the road got more and more difficult. Brilliant.. Such beautiful journeys you take us on, it's no wonder why you have become the most popular adventure vlogger on the internet. You and Dhanno make every second of each vid so interesting and exciting. Thank you.
Really thrilling drama in real life; very engaging all the way with fantastic video and drone views coupled with good background music to add to the suspense. Those who gave a thumbs down must be driven by sheer jealousy and envy. None comes even close to Noraly’s authentic, likeable and humble personality.
I love how you always are on the 'back roads' not the main highways (it seems), it allows us to get such a beautiful view of the countries you visit. Safe Travels!!
You should be the brand ambassador of Royal Enfield
Mightily impressed with your language skills...spoken so fluently.. .
We may be on lockdown but are travelling with you.....
Suspense, all the mud and landslides. then the water crossings O My God. You have no Fear, You are truly amazing ! Stay safe and smart. Nothing I have ever seen compares to where You Ride, You are a true Queen Rider. Tucson Tim
I think this is one of your scariest ride. I was holding my breath every time you rode over the water.
Locked inside my room but still feel the beauty of world.
I really as a human now admire earth's beauty more. Your videos making me stay at home in this Corona strapped time.
We have problems? We fix them! One tough lady. Take care.
Her personality is wonderful and means alot to me
That water crossing was intense. Great job . On camera it looked impassable.
I am a geologist by profession, I worked in Bolivia in 1994, I traveled a lot, and now it's like I'm going to Bolivia again, but only with you. Thank you, it's like I'm back.
You are a real trooper, that water you walked across looked quite swift...brave girl. I admire the way you do not get upset and cry about things, you just keep moving forward and sort it out
The background music perfectly reflects the tense moments
Noraly, you had a lot of dangerous roads to battle when you went through the mountains on this ride.
the view was so beautiful to see, glad to see that you made it ok. Stay safe and I will see you on your next video.
Bolivia backroads are not for the faint of heart! Noraly takes that bike in a lot of places Id hesitate to hike through on foot! So much respect and am very envious of her confidence and nerve 🖖🏽 Continued safe travels!
Noraly, what a great way to ride the CoronaVirus. Your videos are like the vaccine we need. Please stay safe and healthy. We need you!
Love from Texas.
If you want to stay healthy - stay away from vaccines ......
Wow! Noraly walked through the rushing water before trying to ride through. Very impressive.
Go on Golden Angel! You give us hope in this hard times of Pademia! Greetings from Germany!
What Pandemia ??? Fear is the only thing that they are spreading. And fear is the most dangerous disease .... If you want to stay healthy - stay away from fear and vaccines....
@@istra70 I live in Italy and we have been on lockdown since 8 March. The cemeteries cannot cope with the body count and the doctors are getting sick too. Old peoples' homes are losing residents 5 - 10 a day. And that is generally. In the hotspots it's worse. We were saying the same things as you are, from wherever you are communicating from, two weeks ago. No longer!
Indeed, the local government is begging people to stay home to save lives while the national one is fielding the army to do swabs and man the hospitals (including field hospitals) to deal with the situation.
It is true that it is especially malignant in the elderly with pre-existing conditions but not exclusively, and it spreads really FAST since there's no individual nor herd immunity.
If djt and bojo are taking it seriously (finally) that really does mean we have a problem.
@@Chrisjude100Your comment made me call Italy. Have just checked with few of my friends living in cities in Northern Italy . Yes they have imposed restrictions of movement from government ( Marshall law ).
Apart from looking like F A S C H I S M has come back , and plastic quarantines in hospitals - not much more....
My friends have very intensive social life there ( now all public events are cancelled ) - and all of them don't know anyone P E R S O N A L L Y being sick or hospitalized.
As I said before don't by in and try to spread FEAR porn...... that is exactly what TV want you to do.......
Believe in only what you can prove for yourself ( and stop watching TV - you''ll feel better).....
@@istra70 Let me be a little more specific. I live in LOMBARDY, which is the region with the best healthcare system in the country and WE are being overwhelmed. I do have a personal investment. I know people in healthcare and law enforcement.
I am fortunate enough to live in a province the other side of Milan from the major hotspots after Lodi/Piacenza, i.e. Bergamo and Brescia, and even I have had the feeling that getting people off the streets for fear of contagion is a facist tactic, and could be used to create the conditions for an authoritarian coup.
Thing is, Italians know this just as well as the Germans do, having been through it in living memory.
It is not the politicians who were or are calling it a pandemic, indeed they have been culpably slow to move, but rather the World Health Organisation itself. That is the body entitled to call out the term, and it has done so. Officially.
Your contacts in Italy may be among those who are spreading the virus by joining in large groupings getting infected, maybe assymptomatically, and passing it on, perhaps to elderly relatives. The Bergamo Eco, a local newspaper recently had 10 full pages of obituaries, when half a page is the norm.
Macron is no facist, nor is Angela Merkel, nor again Sanchez in Spain. This is REAL.
Here in Italy, the real wannabe facist is Matteo Salvini, in government until he tried his coup in August last and failed miserably, reducing himself since then to shouting insults into a smartphone from the sidelines. He lost badly when he tried to rally the mob in local elections in Emilia-Romagna.
This is an ill-chosen venue for this kind of dicussion and so, wherever you actually are, I think we would all appreciate it if you didn't deal in third-hand information, but rather stuck to what you actually do know.
@@Chrisjude100 Thank you for your input, Mr. Hayes. Some people tend to jump to the conclusion that every serious situation is a hoax. This virus is, to some degree, being spread (as you mention) by those who are infected, but asymptomatic. Their refusal accept what is happening affects us all, and they will likely prolong the time it takes to get the spreading of this disease under control.
That flood crossing in the 13th minute of this video was unreal. Please stay safe!
Scary roads! Glad you are getting through all that! Wish you and Dhanno safe travel. Also the drone segments where it followed behind you and high, those were very cool! I am grateful for all your hard work.
All praise to those who build the roads, those who maintain them, and especially to a special someone who rides her bike on them.
I write about Peru, before the Conquest. Along with that of course i have learned much about the early colonial times as well... Potosi etc... . So, your ride is through historical landscapes. That's very interesting. And then there is You and your bike and the roads and the views and the rain and the road crews... and the local people walking along. I showed your Che video to a friend who played Che over fifty years ago and it conjured up a lot of history and emotion there. So... us Canucks here in South Ontario are getting a lot out of your ride and your astute and respectful observations. Bravo. Now as well you have our very best wishes for your health as well as for your safety. Adelante brave soul.
Omg.... this episode had me on the edge of my seat Noraly!!!!!! You are one brave sista!!!!!!
வணக்கம் Big Thumbs 👍💐 Royal Enfield and Noraly 🎊🎉🔈🔉🔊💐👍
I welcome regular meditation by watching your videos.
The mountains were beautiful in the beginning. But getting through during those landslides... As usual you were able to get through with your skills and your trusted bike. What an adventure! Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing your amazing day. Be safe.
Captain Cook would be proud. You go Girl!
You got the music tune right on this one. INTENCE! I was leaning forward on my chair, "will she make it over that... and that!? well done.
My god, this channel is so addictive. I discovered Noraly only a few weeks ago (Africa trip) and decided to go back to the start. I’m also thinking of getting a Royal Enfield Himalayan and I don’t even have a motorcycle licence. Lol
Love to see these updates. I know you did that section two weeks ago and are currently quarantined in Peru.
Stay safe. We all look forward to you continuing your brave journey soon. You are an inspiration to the world!

Your drone shots showing your absolute aloneness on the road are Boss.
Thank you for all the great videos, you're still doing the travelling for me.
Stay safe. Thanks for letting us join your adventure.
Ooo...that was a fun ride! One of my favorites! The water crossings were dynamite...that's the riding that I like! Awesome video as always Noraly...stay safe, happy and healthy!
Endependecia es cuna de frutales semi tropical👍 de 🇧🇴 desfruta de bolivia magica
WOW! Itchy Boots, this video was astounding. The scenery was beautiful and the water crossing the road was frightful. Great work with the drone. I loved this video . Gracias mi carino (from central Florida)
That muddy spring looked very dangerous.....it must have been quite treacherous to cross that.
Salute to your brave spirit
Wow! What a day! You certainly earned those fabulous views.
I do respect and admire you a lot. I’d probably stut my bike off and start crying where water and mud runs. Amazing skills lots of guts. Ride safe dear Noarly. Don’t let covid19 feels you down, we all gonna make it.
I was so relieved when you left the city for those beautiful mountain tracks then it rained!! I am so impressed you made it through that raging current safely, well done!!
Wow, so beautiful, so rugged.
That deep, fast flowing water near the end had me scared for you.
Onward
Je video was weer genieten..! Dank en groet vanuit NL
I love the view of those green mountains.
Bolivia with the Amazonas and the Andes have nice views.
Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱
Finally, I cought up with you, having binged all your video’s, S1 and S2! Heart-felt greetings from the NL and God bless you Noraly!
That was definitely adventure riding. All the way from the sketchy fuel transaction (with what appears to be a cop in the background) to the landslides to the raging water running across the road...the drone shot was really well done. Thank you and keep the rubber side down!
It's a tough off road riding noraly hatts off 💪
What fantastic changes of scenery in South America. One moment you could be in the Middle East and the next in the Western Highlands of Scotland (on the one sunny day per year!). I've just had an operation that has sidelined me for a while and your fantastic channel has kept me in good spirits. Thank you sooooo much.
I'm locked down for three MONTHS now, (allegedly I'm "vulnerable"), and beginning to appreciate what you mean to those here who are long term housebound. You're a real beacon to some. Keep shining. P.S. I can still go out on the bike!
You don't look that vulnerable, Bob 🤔
@@Plons0Nard It's a very old picture.I don't look 69 there, either.
You're cheating ... 😁
Where do you live?
@@willtopower2158 The UK.
Mooi, mooi, mooi..... De natuur is zo prachtig daar. En ja, als t regent wordt t baggeren. En niet geheel ongevaarlijk in die streken. Landverschuivingen zijn er in vele maten, sommigen zijn haast niet te geloven. Dus duim omhoog hier voor je, voor n coole aflevering weer. En duimen dat alles safe blijft voor je. Take care. Ride safe.
That looked like a nerve-wracking ride, but good on you for powering through!
You may be the most utterly competent person I've run across. Water crossings can be 'fun'. And great music in the 2nd half of the episode. Stravinsky would work, too;-)
Taking back to main road for "La Paz" is right decision by looking at weather conditions, drive safe stay healthy!!
Such excellent support from that road crew. They moved mountains for you!
Loved the following drone shots - epic! Beautiful mountain roads. What a day, with those landslide challenges! Glad that you got a room, even if strange.
That last water crossing with that music! Great video!
Stay safe Norally God bless you I'm praying for you every day, moreover take care of your health and be happy ;)
Remote rural areas, friendly locals, sunshine, blue skies, mist, rain, thunder and lightening, scenic dead end detours, super twisty challenging dirt roads, steep gradients, benign to raging river crossings, not ending up at planned destination and a motorbike - the absolute definition of Adventure Riding. That is why you smile all the time. All you needed was a dog (friendly or otherwise) to round it all off. Great stuff!!
Noraly, be safe in Peru & hope you can continue your journey to AK!! Greetings from USA
Much love and respect for you Noraly. the last creek crossing was scary but you emerged with a big smile.. wow
Great video Noraly , we know that the Covid.19 emergency is also in place in South America, we also know that you are safe, thanks to your videos and keep us informed of the situation where you are now :-) , stay safe and healthy!
I am not buying that scare mongering about virus for a second. Instead of terrorist threat , they invented virus. Now soon they will send out vaccine - i wouldn't put it in my dog..... Fear is most dangerous disease ......
The cure will be more dangerous than the "virus".
Anti - vaxxer and flat earther?

It is better to wake up ( I can only wish that I am wrong ).
Please - it is not for debating . Don't want to poison this beautiful channel ( or post ).
Namaste.
Dhano and Noraly an unbeatable team. Well ridden young lady. Royal Engineering must be so proud to see your way of surmounting the obstacles of riding on rural roads. On On UBIQUE
Hi, some really challenges for you on this ride. Great footage as always, really enjoyed the choice of music too throughout this vlog. Keep safe and best wishes from the UK. 🙏🏍
GOD SPEED NORALY. I'M PRAYING FOR YOUR COMFORT AND DECISION MAKING AS THE CHALLENGES COME. ANOTHER FANTASTIC VIDEO IN A FANTASTIC PLACE...!
Even if there were guardrails along that entire mountain stretch, I would still have a death grip on the steering wheel of my truck. Scary, but Noraly is a pro!
This episode is so great with lots of scary roads , we can’t figure it out how you managed to cross the last one ! So brave you are God bless you dear 💓from 🇮🇷
OMG this has become really dramatic. And the music! Stay safe!
Noraly, you are simply an amazing girl! You overcome so many difficulties, you inspire, give hope and show other people how vast and beautiful the world is! I am incredibly happy that I came across your channel, now I am your loyal subscriber😍🤩
From a Euro perspective - weird to see a good old fashioned handshake! ;-)
Really?
In Europe we do not do handshakes anymore. We stay about 1.5 meters (5 feet) away from other people. We only go out to buy food etc. that we need. In Italy in Spain you need to stay.at home. If you go buy food you can be stopped.bu the police. They check what you do outside. If you go to buy food they may check in your house layer, you have to show your invoice and prove thusly that you bought food. In Spain the same situation I believe.
@@blackcountryme Nah. It is not as bad as claimed in the OP. At least not in the Netherlands. 🤝
Ooooops 😉
@@erikloupias7511 Virus is invented instead of global terrorist threat. They are just spreading FEAR. And FEAR (stress) is most dangerous disease. They will soon put out some vaccine - governments will be forced to buy ......but i wouldn't put it in my dog.
Cure will be more dangerous than disease......
Don't volunteer to go into Orwell's 1984 and TOTALITARIANISM......

increíble, increíble Qué paisaje ya es impresionante y la música crea un estado de ánimo emocionante y entusiasta.
Bravo..
Muchas gracias por viajar contigo Norali👍🔥
I must’ve said to myself “oh no!” at least half a dozen times during this episode, with my anxiety running on perspiration level. You seemed so unfazed by it all, well done! best episode so far. You probably known this already Noraly, but I’ll mention it for other riders if you don’t mind, the most precarios of those water crossings can be the ones where there is white smooth cement across a road used to channel away the run off from a quebrada (stream), the water carries with it loose sand, mud and pebbles, and if it gets sun you’ll get green algae to add to the mix...took me down twice in the Peruvian mountains before and after Jaén.
Noraly. What a legend!
Wow! That was some real offroad adventure. Well done Basanti!
This is not Basanti. She had to leave it in the Netherlands.
@@linusfotograf I guess you are a little confused. This is Basanti. She had to leave it in south america. The one she rides in Nedherlands is called Ronin. It's a Honda CB500x.
@@Goeker No, you are confused. This bike is called Dhanno. She traded in Basanti for it. Ronin is her third and latest bike.
@@linusfotograf Ah, yes. You're right. Basanti was the first one. My mistake. 🙋
@@Goeker No worries
Fantastic view of the city from the mountain road at 3,700. That was a wild ride in the mountains with those landslides and washed-out roads. That was cray cray, scary. I'm glad you found a place to stay and wait out the storms and some road repairs.
This music through the landslides must have been your heart beating like a drum and the adrenaline pumping through your veins!
You are a brave young lady. Whilst the rest of the world is being locked down, you are having the time of your life.... carry on my wayward girl ; ) .. cheers.
Sometimes an erratic speedo is caused by a bad connection where the plug goes in the back of the instrument module. Try unplugging and replugging it a couple of times. Moisture gets in the connector and causes problems. A little grease on the connector pins helps too.
It started with an erratic Speedo but soon stopped entirely. Turned out the cable got a little damaged, probably a rock or something.. it was an easy fix :)
@@ItchyBoots Your GPS will give you a more accurate reading on loose going anyway. It will measure your actual speed rather than what the wheel is doing! But you're the science graduate, not me!:-)
If you have the time . Remove your speedo console from the bike . Open it up and put a small silica pack into it ( if you happen to have some in your luggage) . That will also see to it that there is no short circuit because of moisture development) . Speedo needles jump also as a result of short circuits in the system . This is a fairly easy task ( should take 1/2 an hour )
@@thebenphilip She already fix it, it was the cable.
@@thebenphilip Its seems to be a cable drive speedo, not electronic.
My goodness Noraly...you are braver than I....wow what a day...borderline dangerous...Be safe and I will continue to Pray that you have safe and healthy travels....Paul
Really pretty there, love the mountain roads, be safe Blue Eyes.
I think it will be a beautyful and safe Area when it's Dryseason ... so I give you my Respect for this Dayride again ☺ ... lg Arne
