[S2 - Eps. 44] Riding at almost 5,000 metres altitude in the Andes, at Paso Agua Negra

- In this ride I am crossing the border again between Argentina and Chile. The border is right at the high mountain pass called "Paso Agua Negra", which is at 4753 meters altitude. Coming from the hot desert in Argentina, I am riding towards the snow, and then descend again into the hot valley on the other side.
It was a spectacular ride through different temperatures and through the stunning, colourful mountains of the Andes. It took me 10 hours to ride my motorcycle from Calingasta in Argentina, to La Serena in Chile but I did it!

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

Ewan's and Charlie must be embarrassed they have big bikes and back up crews etc and this lady has a 410cc bike and films herself on the trip.........she is simply incredible. Noraly i salute you!👍
I totally second that statement, Noraly, you are so inspiring.
Exactly my idea, Grabbies. From day one in India Noraly did things by herself. No back up, no truck following her etc. And the RE Himalayan is bringing her everywhere! No need for a oversized, heavy bike.
I have been a loner my entire life, but she puts herself into situations that I would consider unwise for myself. Breaking down on isolated roads may lead to being standed for days before help arrives. But, that's her. If she doesn't see the danger, then travel on.
@@brianjoseph3708 Sorry, I have to disagree with you. The Himalayan has fuel injection, which copes better with the thin air at 4753m better than carburettors. However, she's doing an amazing job and the scenery in this episode was like nothing else I've ever seen.
True dat ! ..makes me want to downgrade my GS :o)
She has developed her content and presentation to the point where this is clearly one of the top channels on TH-cam.
True..
You're not wrong. I've watched from S1Ep1 to here in the last two weeks, and the change is quite clear. Not that it was bad before, but now it's "proper good". :-)
I think Noraly is the new face of motovlogging. She takes it to a whole new level. With her big smile, sparkling personality, and let’s-go approach to life, she makes you feel like you’re right there, traveling with her, enjoying the sights, people, road and ride almost as much as she is. Thank you, Noraly, for a wonderful ride.
KIRK, I AGREE WITH YOU 100%. SHE IS TRULY AMAZING. WILL WATCH EVERY EPISODE WITHOUT FAIL. Thanks, Noraly.
I fully agree! Noraly takes us along (on her shoulder) on her fantastic journey. Thank you once more Noraly!
I agree, but i miss meetings with people during her ride.
Well spoken my friend.
I agree, she's fantastic!!
My eyes are still reeling from the deep blue sky, the incredible red of the mountains, and the emerald colour of those lakes. What a feast for us faithful followers! Noraly brightens even a cloudy day in Jan! Thank you!
I so agree Nick!
Noraly I'm sure you make Argentinians and Chileans really proud, because the only time most of us in other parts of the world hear anything about these countries is when they're in the grip of some national controversy. It's very nice to see a beautiful and humane side to these places.
Honestly I had no idea how Chile and Argentina looked like. Noraly has definitely put these countriea on my list.
Most the time both countries are fine. But no one cares to report when a country is doing ok because it's boring. That's why you only hear when something bad happens, like massive protests, earthquakes or volcanoes going off.
Well said Dean...
Hahaha, we've had a trouble once in while. I can't blame you! 😂. Greetings from Argentina.
@@sh00t01 Siiiiii ya hemos madurado bastante como naciones.... los desencuentros los arreglamos a "penales" jajajajaja....saludos desde Chile
素晴らしい映像です。私はあなたと旅をしいるような。
ありがとうございます。次のUPが楽しみです。
reat video. I like traveling with you.
Thank you very much. I am looking forward to the next UP.
From biker to biker, hats off to an amazing woman doing a solo ride, fearing nothing and bringing us fantastic scenery with a great smile! I wait for your episodes and enjoy them a lot! Ride safe, ride long Noraly!
Congratulations ¡¡ thank for to visit Chile
This little Himalayan proves itself more every day.
Inexpensive, reliable, rugged, easy to maintain, holding lots of fuel...
I agree. Very nice machines.
It seems unstoppable! Much like the enthusiasm of its rider... ;-)
I assumed it is carbureted but it must be fuel injected and have pretty good mapping, if it handles those elevation changes with no problems.
Hola Noraly me encanta tu canal, excelente travesía, me gustaría saber que modelo de Dron usas? Saludos Feliz 2020
Thank you for taking us all along with you! we are forever grateful! I have my coffee with you every morning! ❤
Hello, I did paso agua negra by bicycle , the opposite way though, from la Serena to San Juan, it took me 4 days, camping on the side of the road, I have been enjoying your adventures very much.
Abrazos
Daniel
4753 metres, or 15,600 feet and the little 5,000 buck bike takes it all in it's stride and doesn't miss a beat. No wonder they called it the Himalayan! What a gem of an underated machine!
Eso si es cruzar la Cordillera de los Andes!🗻🌋⛰🗻🏔 Excelente
Diese Schönheit der Landschaft ist grandios.
Noraly, the Chilean scenery at the top at 4.753 altitude was amazing. Well done to you for hitting another milestone in South America. 👏
Noraly you have me hooked for ever!!! I am a 73 year old woman from South Africa and I am riding with you around the world because I will never go to these places!! I went to the Netherlands a few times and I know what the difference this countries must be for you!!! You show me places in my own country that I never have been to but now I want to visit them but in a 4x4 vehicle! You are one brave young lady!!!!
Noraly, you must be shattered after that ride. That was an incredibly tough journey. Just to put it in some sort of perspective, the highest road in the UK is 670m. Even the famous Stelvio pass in the alps is only 2757m. You have gone another 2000m higher than that. Close to twice as high. Not only the altitude, but the roads were just unmade tracks much of which were in very poor condition. When you said what you had planned at the begining of the video I thought thats way too much for one day. But you did it, and kept smiling and videoing at the same time. There is a word that is used way too much, that I usually try to avoid, but what you achieved is truly AWESOME!
Noraly, I’m thinking that you likely will not see my comment here, cuz I’m currently watching you in season 6. However, I’m frequently so impressed with your bravery and cheerful outlook, even before enjoying the content. Again, I’m so happy for you seeing how much joy you have found for yourself and sharing that with the 1.4 million subscribers you have attained. Thank you so much for being such a wonderful provider !❤❤❤
Wow - what an amazing ride, simply stunning, and Noraly continues to make it all look so easy....never mind a few hours off-road, "ah the headache and lack of oxygen wasn't thaaat bad"....always positive, great channel and a joy to watch!.....
When are you going to do this on your Royal Enfield @TheMissendenFlyer?
Every now and then you throw in a small Dutch sentence when you think out loud (at the pass "wat was het, wat was het nou?"). Love it, makes it genuine and real and not disturbing at all, please go on being yourself.
410cc air cooled single and unending stamina and enthusiasm can achieve anything, good on ya 💪👌
I think it's water cooled.
@@Military-Museum-LP , it's air cooled with oil cooler.
@@Military-Museum-LP The Himalayan is mainly aircooled and has a small oilcooler on the left side.
“Built like a gun” is RE’s defination...
Wait...what? 410cc? Really? I thought it was at least a 600cc. Wow... pushing that engine. Amazing!
The first: such a nice and friendly policeman! (I think he had a nice little nap before you came!😅) The second : also so sympathetic, pleasant, positive and friendly!!! Really heartwarming! 🥰🥰
Твой один из самых лучших выпусков Норали. Нереально красиво даже через камеру. Я представляю как захватывает дух у тебя.
where the humans are not present, the nature and landscapes are always awesome. Blocks of ice perfectly designed by natural wind and natural warm of the sun. And nothing around it. Great stint for altitude and, as always, great skills in all terrain
Glad you put a sticker up at the top of the pass!! It's official you made it over the pass! 😃 Very cool pass! Drone footage was fantastic! Really a spectacular day!! Thank you Noraly for the adventure!
You are such a brave lady biker, Noraly. In the middle of nowhere with no one around, you keep climbing with that himalayan. Can't imagine if something goes wrong with that bike up there. Keep safety, Noraly.
Hello Noraly, i was the one who greeted you in the parking lot of the supermarket in La Serena, a pleasure to have shared a few words with you, wishing you a lot of success in your wonderful trip and always watching your videos with much interest since the serene many greetings and good you vibrate for yourself
I think this bloke means good vibes and not to actually go and vibrate yourself... Google translate is funny.😁
@@formworksucks Better be or I'm never going there......
@@formworksucks When seeing a hot motorbiker, one tends to go vibrate oneself...kkkk
Marcos, you have had the rare privilege of meeting a great explorer. :) Many of us never will meet Noraly in person.
Yes I agree with Dave. If I had shared a few words with Noraly I would come away with watery eyes.
And I am not an emotional person.
Spectacular ride. Happy you flew the drone for a bit. Fantastic scenery. 10 hours ride, you are a real tough cookie.
Noraly, this has to be one of my favorites. The differences in climate on the elevation changes were spectacular. I loved the longer video also. Looking forward to the next adventure. Stay safe and take care.
Noraly THANKYOU🙏
the next border crossings will be the best because they are very remote with a nice landscape
After several thousand klicks with Noraly & Dhanno my Spanish is returning in a big way! More fun than tapes!
Thanks Noraly. My favourite channel and videos on you tube . You're challenging my view of the world, and through your eyes, the world looks like a better place!
Every other day I look forward to enjoying your videos. They are far better than Netflix. Thank you for this. Ride safely.
Ill never thank you enough for showing us this amazing trip, and the music so apropiate for so an epic ride! ramble on dutch beauty!! 😎👍
Absolutely blown away by the beauty of this countries, and yes,best way to see them is from the saddle of a motorbike
Thank you so much for this section, I wanted to go tour Chile 20 years ago but life got in the way and now at 71 my body won't put up with it.
Another channel of excellence filmed by a beautiful woman with an amazing upbeat personality and positive attitude with an eye for the dramatic beautiful landscape lakes rivers town’s villages dogs wildlife and natural habitats penguins bird’s in my minds eyes undiscovered corners of Argentina and Chilly a solo traveler discovering the most breathtaking and fascination places for this armchair viewer bless you Noraly
This channel just gets better and better👌Some of the most spectacular scenery so far......it is really breathtaking there and not just because of the altitude of that mountain pass into Chile ! Ride safe. ATB from Malaysia
I am speechless. Incredible scenery presented by a fearless woman.
And again !!! Shivers run down my spine and tears are in my eyes, when the epic music starts and i see the breathtaking landscape under this blue dome ... want to give 100 Thumbs up !!
Such surreal landscape at the top of the Chilean Andes looks like Mars or some other planet.Thanks NoraLy for filming it. I imagine in winter it's totally covered in snow.
Thank you for providing a very beautiful way for us home-birds to see the World. Much appreciated.
Yo are so positive, you are all the time smiling!
Another emotional episode for your followers. Thank you. You are a star. Alan.
The contrast of the landscape and the colours and hues of the sky are simply stunning, wow, 2 thumbs up :thumbs up
Officer: The road is very bad!
Noraly: Let's go 😂
Noraly with your hard adventurous road trip I came to know that Argentina and Chile are beautiful and vast country, salute to you my lady, stay safe and healthy.
I really liked in this one how the colors of the terrain and landscape kept changing almost rainbow like.
Wait to see North of Chile.The Andes get bigger, and a lot of colors you do not imagine
Another epic episode...Keep it coming, Noraly! 320K plus fans are waiting for every video...
Every ride, every single episode of yours truly inspires me... Keep making more amazing videos 😇
Btw this episode is among the best 👍💯
Wow 1 year later I watch this and what a magnificent tour this was. 😍
Wow Noraly! It looks like you were riding on Mars!
Thank you again for sharing your incredible adventure!
Love from Texas
Black Cloth "Gaffa" tape should be in the toolbox of all bike riders. Great for repairs to the bike and your body. Great video, great attitude and love of life.
Just brilliant Itchy Boots we are ALL so proud of you, your incredibly gutsy well done!
Watching Noraly from S1E1 has been a treat. She's always upbeat and a great ambassador for Holland. She shows us the human side of people all over the world while the media paints negative pictures to instill fear and hostility. People are all basically the same, it's governments and greed that divide us. Thats how they stay in control..
Wow 😲. That was amongst your 'Top Ten' Noraly. Simply stunning. Just when I thought it couldn't become more spectacular it did! Thank you.
At about 3:45 It was very nice of you to slow down to allow that rider to steady their horse while you passed. Good job.
That place is EPIC!!!!!!
So beautiful. Totally unpredictable for each part being more beautiful than the last!
Thankyou Noraly, thankyou so much for sharing your journey!
Vest journey everxx The sergeant was ok (Arg) The clarity in atmosphere pristine Chek points all rigth. soil with no mayor complications. no much animals on the way. no tires issues or mech. The cleaner woman was late with the cleaning of that patio. That place is on the market. Every one ride safe
Saludos 💯🇦🇷 La Rioja Argentina.
@16.24 praying you have a safe ride through! Thanks for taking me as your “ pillion’ rider!
We are extremely proud of you!
Argentina is a beautiful country, stunning landscapes, where bikers meet in a paradise suitable for great adventures like the one you have been doing.
This is probably the longest episode since the beginning of your new journey, it still feels so short and It has a lot to do with your interaction with the viewers 😊
Your best video to date Noraly! Amazing landscapes, the dangers lost upon the viewers by your nonchalant spirit and one handed camera work
Another stunning video Noraly. The feeling of rounding an unknown curve in the road to see what you are seeing. Breathtaking. Thank you
The deep blue Sky at the background... Wonderful...
15,600 feet is no joke! Take care Noraly!
wow the sky at the 12:05 stop, amazing. the road following the river. best road yet
Literally breathtaking in every respect!
My respect for this beatifull and
courageous lady, she alone, crossing all the continent on her own!!! she si the wonder woman!!! love you @itchy boots!!! GO @itchy boots!!!!
Another Stunning Video! I think you deserve some kind of video award for best documentary!
Noraly, I happened to to come across your videos by accident and very glad I did. At first I thought who is this crazy blonde travelling alone all over the world on a motorbike? Well, it did not take me long to appreciate the sort of person you are - Super Brave, Super Nice, Super beautiful and a wonderful human being willing to share your adventures on your motorbikes.
Many thanks for sharing. I am going on seventy seven years young, having biked over most of Australia and will continue riding till I can no longer stay upright.
Greetings from Melbourne in OZ
One of the best solo rider vlog, love it, Noraly and Dhanno rocking.
I had no idea what the Andes looked like...thank you so much Noraly.
wow ! what a fantastic 10 hour off roading riding !! i envy you !!! ......loving the beautiful blue skies !!!!
Hey Noraly, what a rewarding day riding, even if it was 10 hours!! The amazing pass, that beautiful sculpted ice, the aqua marine water, snow capped mountains......FANTASTIC.
Rest ye well fair maiden, and get thee back on the road soon, for we cannot wait to see more of your amazing travelogue.
Ride safe.
Steve
Stunning landscape, brilliant video, my heart felt this, it really did ✊
That is some of the hardest riding conditions that you are riding over. You are an excellent rider. You are so brave Noraly.
Amazing site, there is little left for ep 50. You deserve it. Saludos desde Mendoza.
Q
Wat heb je weer veel moois gezien Noraly, wat fijn dat je dit alles deelt met ons ik word er helemaal blij van!!! :))
Why are there ever thumbs down for any of these vids???
What are they expecting.
Today this was one of the best for scenery, the colours on the mountains were surprising, to me at least. 😁
May be some jealous riders🙌🤣
I say someone who has never been on a motorbike or if they have, they dont ride to place without street lights.
I've seen videos where it's like 'Fireman saves puppy and then donates his wage to help the homeless' and it has 50 dislikes... after that I'm like, people are idiots
The choice of music so captivating , incredible
Good Andes's crossing ride. That landscape 11:15 , some of those mountains was the film location for the 'Seven Years in Tibet' movie :)
What a beauty nature has.! Amazing.Thank you Noraly for showing us the world.
What a ride what scenery and nice people on the journey. If I had met a lady like yourself when I was younger I would probably still be doing as yourself, it gives me itchy feet just watching you on roads and terrain you are traveling as I did not like the blacktop roads although I did hundreds of miles on it sometimes flatout due to catching ferries or meeting other riders, I can remember riding from Calaise to Faro without stopping other than for fuel, but on the way back I took three days, hel I would sell my place tomorrow to start again, but health and commitment's are preventing me at the moment and fear I am running out of time.
Godspeed Noraly catch you in the next upload, ride safe.
I admire your patience, good disposition all the time and your ever present smile
Its great to see a lady out on a bike, enjoying herself and seeing the world, there is no better form of travel in my opinion, u go girl.
Noraly shows us the world - never seen such snow/ice rests at a path... great! Your Itchy Boots Sticker is very nice... Take care, Matthias
Majestic...Fantastic ... beautiful landscape ! Amazing... you make me feel wanna to ride ... thanks Noraly
Wow, 15,593 foot pass. That ice build on the side of the road looked so cool. Great Vid.
Hello from Russia, Noraly!
This is awesome! 😎
This was quite a day for you! When that guy said the road was going to be ugly, he wasn`t kidding. On your way down from the pass, some of those drop offs look like if you went over the edge, you`d still be falling this time next week. Your room looked very nice, and I think all in all, one of your more beautiful days. Stay safe!
Spectacular scenery, and your drone footage is amazing. When you came upon that lake after all that desert-like landscape I was sort of shocked - beautiful contrast. Thank you for sharing these experiences with us. Dhanno is impressive - all sorts of conditions and doesn't miss a beat, just like Basanti.
Meid, wat een rit!
En wat een prachtig, spectaculair landschap.
Dank je wel om dit met de wereld te delen.
Patagonia to Alaska via Mars. Great terrain... ,🌎
What an awesome ride. Your riding skill and endurance never ceases to amaze me. Ten hour ride and you still manage a smile. Best way to follow you is in my comfy chair because there is no way I could keep up with you. Fantastic scenery and one handed grip so we could enjoy it along with you. Wonderful.
Best episode ever .....👌👌👌
The border Argentina -Chile. Ist AMAZING Noraly!!!! CIAO......Go.go go.....!!!! Nice video!!!
That crossing from one side of the mountains to the other was amazing and brilliant. I have definitely not seen ice like that on the track side before! Thanks for sharing Noraly.
Those ice formations are called "penitentes", we even have a place named after them, here in Mendoza, in the route that crosses to Chile. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Penitentes_(Argentina)
The ice doesn’t melt, it sublimates at that altitude.
That water you passed up in the mountains had an amazing look about it.
Thanks for taking us along!
