Cycling Chile's Incredible Atacama Desert & Coast! // A Bike Touring Short Film // Part 31 - Chile

- Having crossed the border from Bolivia to Chile at over 4600 m.a.s.l., we shot down the perfectly paved highway 27 towards San Pedro de Atacama. The incredible sight of the vast Atacama desert basin far below and ahead of us could only be topped by the sight of the 2000 meter high wall we had descended from, behind us. Once again, like in Perú before, we had spent weeks, even months, well above 3000-4000 meters… and it was about time for a change.
So after two nights in San Pedro, an incredibly touristy but nice town, we set off through the Atacama, the driest non-polar desert in the world, towards the coast of Chile, without knowing what to expect... and what a great ride it was!

I love bike now than cars or motorcycle because for as long as you can pedal it will take you where ever you want even if you don't have money it does not need gasoline that's what good about bike have a hapy ride and take care always beautiful couple. Nice bike touring journey video
Still most underrated TH-cam channel :)
😅😅
Confused by the timeline, it says u uploaded 3 weeks ago, but u said in February u will visit ur mom?
@@jasontomica8938 As it takes a lot of time to edit our videos, they are usually released 3-4 weeks after they happened. In this case, we released the video approximately 3 weeks after the events at the end of the film, meaning the events at the beginning of the film are already two months old, or so.
Therefore, even if we talk about future events in our films, they will generally already be in the past when the video is released.
Definitely agree
How could someone think of two human creatures traveling in such a long distance trip by only pedalling their bikes? That' s an incredible labor. You are going to be two legends for such an incredibly difficult achievement.
I have great memories of Chile, thanks for bringing those back 🙂
Both Tobi and Louisa are amazingly physically strong; wonderful smiles; amazingly positive attitudes; great videography; fantastically authentic adventures
Thank you! 😊
I was in Chile twice working, spent time in La Serena, Santiago, Vinya Del Mar and loved the country with such kind people.
I am an old man and retired professor who happens to love Chile. But the farthest north I have been is La Serena on my way to the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory. I was looking for cycling videos to watch while riding my stationary bike here in the Big Bend of Texas and I stumbled onto your Atacama video. Not only was it breath-taking and enjoyable to watch while I pedaled, but it forced me to add northern Chile to my bucket list. Kudos. And thank you !!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
I am always sooooo excited when I see that you guys posted a new video! Keep up the great work!
Awesome! 😅😊
Wonderful images which remind me when I was there 30 years ago (by car). Not a single for stone has moved ahah! Congratulations for the filming and editing and all the pleasure that you show us which obviously rewards the great effort.
i have this dream of driving down chile from the atacama desert all the way to patagonia, and then, i found this channel this mornign
Awesome! 😅
By coincidence I watch your great inspired cycling trips to Latin America , Latin America has been my dream place to visit one day . Cheers from Malaysia
Fantastic video! Your channel's become one of my favourite bicycle channels (along with Ed Pratt and Wheels to Wander). I always look forward to a new video. Your film making has also very much improved, from technical aspects and the scenery!
Awesome, great to hear! 😊 Thank you
Guy's felicitaciones buena suerte.mucho cuidado
Soy chilena pero vivo en NZ.❤
Hahaha very clever music transition at the start there… 0:54 smooth manouvres.. 👍👍👍
It is so nice to see someone else travelling with their instrument.
In the last 20 years I always toured with my Sitar on a Bob trailer.
My wife and I are starting a 3 year tour in April and at the moment I am building a new instrument to take travelling.
It is definitely not smaller than my Sitar unfortunately, but should allow me to stay happy musically on the road.
We plan to ride from Germany to Australia then fly to South America and ride to Calgary Canada where I am from.
Thanks for the great content and inspiration!
Sounds like an awesome journey you have planned! 😊
watching you guys is so relaxing.
Still watching ! We are of a certain age - 71 and 67. My wife says you two are so nice to watch! Louisa you are so laid back - you seem a lovely couple!!
amazing!
I love your channel... such a beautifull videos with cultures explanation...two sweet people...
Have a great holliday with your parents🎉
Thanks 😊
I got here cuz I just saw you guys and your sign near Cerro Castillo in Patagonia
Thank you for taking us with you on your route ! So beautiful, so inspiring.
What a great footage!, you guys keep improving over and over. I really loved the music as well
Awesome video!!!!
vocês vão longe ! greetings from Brasil ! woohoo !!
Nice
Great video ,Chapeau, rubber side down.
Thanks 😊
You guys are wonderful. Congratulations on your journey.
Thank you 😊
Danke für eure tollen Videos. Ich finde es auch schön, dass Ihr beide nicht mit so teuren Rädern gereist seid. Viele Grüße Stefan, aus Berlin
I really enjoy your channel ☘️🐺☘️
Your videos are so well done! Thank you for sharing your adventure.
This was a beautiful part of Chile, it must have been great to ride all the way from the top of mountains, down to sea level again ! I had to laugh a little when you said at the end the "South America almost done... " Well, please check how many KM's to Ushuaia you still have to ride, because that is not exactly close, you still have a long ride before you. I am sure you will get there, and Patagonia will be interesting, and then crossing the pampa's to Ushuaia. I hope you have a tailwind all the time, keeping my fingers crossed for you. Cheers !
Haha, that's true, it's still a lot of kms to Ushuaia. For us it's probably more that it feels like South America is almost over, especially considering it's "only" a few months left after almost a whole year here. 😅
As Einstein might hav said, time and space is not the same depending on your speed or the way you travel. Three months left may feel short after ten or so riding from North... 😉
So great to see you guys again! Fabulous video segments with the GoPro and drone! As well the music was perfect. Have fun in Buenos Aires. Will you continue on with your tour after you finish South America? Hopefully you will :)
Thanks! 😊 Yea, we are going to Australia after South America! 😅
ابطال وعمل جبار ❤
Great way to start my day with a Chains & Cords new vid over breakfast!
Awesome! 😊
Gerade die" Potschis" in Peru angeschaut.
Jetzt geht es hier bei Euch in Chile weiter.👍🏽
Wieder herzlichen Dank für dieses schöne Video! Genießt nun die Zeit mit Deinen Eltern!
Danke! 😊
Hello you two, I really liked your video. Thanks for the impressions. Greetings Bernhard
Awesome, glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Just discovered your channel. Thoroughly enjoying what are excellent videos.
Tobi, during the USA episodes I noticed you were wearing a neck/face warmer from Compass Expeditions. I'm based in Australia and a few years ago I did a motorcycle tour with them.
Keep up the wonderful videos!
Glad you are enjoying our videos! 😊
You have a good eye 😅 Tobi and his dad rented some motorbikes from them a few years ago and drove the Great Ocean Road together.
Love your content. Relaxing watch as usual. I purchased a solar panel and power bank for my surly long haul trucker.
Awesome! 😊
Another great video, (they all are actually) thanks very much for that!
Cheers 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Really like the format! Keep peddling.
Thanks! 😊
Good luck to you both, greetings from Malaysia
Thanks! 😊
Beautiful ..is it safe? I’ll do it soon on my bike thx
Wow, amazing footage! What happened to Tobi's guitar rack?
It unfortunately broke (for good) in the south of Bolivia. The aluminum just isn't made for the bad roads 😅
So we decided to not rebuild it, also not out of steel, but just repack a bit and place the guitar on the back of Tobi's bike.
Thanks, good video. I would be interested in where you leave your bicycles and gear when you leave for Argentina or other similar trips?
In this case we left our bikes with an old friend of Tobi's stepdad. But on other occasions we've contacted hosts and asked them if it's possible.

Great video as always! What website/source do you use for your music in the videos? I'm using epidemic sound but I haven't found any tracks like the ones in this video XD
Thanks! 😊 We also use Epidemic Sound 😅
Great video again. It is such a pleasure to follow you guys and see your adventures. Quick question though, that guitar you've been carrying around all this time, you gonna play it for us at some point...? ;-)
Hey, sorry for the late reply! Yea, we'll have some more music coming soon 😊
8:00 if you aim juuust right, you can hit Hawaii 😁 🌺
True! 😅😅
you both seem so happy! great to see that. What's next after reaching "the end of the world"?
After they will finish to explore the world, they will start to explore their inner world.....🙂
ok, just saw a previous video telling about the plans after! awesome!
MUITO BOM
Great job guys with the vid! Fantastic music choices. Where do you get it from?
Thanks! 😊 We use the "Epidemic Sound" library.
Time for a sailboat
What happened to your guitar rack?
Achs- und Speichenbruch :)
Unfortunately it broke (for good) on the bad Bolivian roads. We decided not to rebuild it out of steel but instead get rid of a few things and place the guitar on the back of Tobi's bike. Better suited for off-road! 😅
Is the moon? ❤
Your Spanish is creeping through 🙂. We usually pronounce "Chile" as "chilly" (as in the UK weather).
I could also be their German - we pronounce Chile as they do in the video 🙂
Maybe both! 😅😅
