I had to cross Peru and Northern Chile fast to get my suspension fixed. I was nevertheless hit by major cultural differences and modern infrastructure.

I don’t leave Peru by choice. My bike’s suspension issues pushed me southward where it will undergo major surgery in Chile! Sand and wine to wrap things up!
A bad navigation decision got me badly isolated. The high altitude path that I got stuck on, even if spectacular, became a very chilling challenge.
