Pedro, I think you mentioned in your livestream that you would go back to making shorter videos. You do what’s best for yourself and the channel. But for what it’s worth, I’m loving these longer videos lately. The thing is, you have such good quality content that they don’t drag on and feel too long or boring. This is just one opinion and you know what’s best. Either way, I’m Leary’s excited to watch your videos. Thanks for the solid entertainment and inspiration.

[@markmark2080]

Great to see another video uploaded, please keep posting regardless of the content to show us how things are over there, haven't even watched the video yet, best wishes my friend.

[@detouraheadmoto803]

Hey Pedro. I've been watching your videos for a year. You're the best of them all. Your spirit is inspiring. So inspiring that I'm planning my own trip from Oregon to Patagonia on my Africa Twin. You asked for video suggestions while we're all locked down. I'd love you to make one on advice for a trip like mine. Best months for all the countries. Of course I want to miss intense heat, rainy season in Peru and Bolivia, frosty conditions down south. I wonder about hotels vs camping. Tire preference. Helmet style. Jerry cans or not. I'd love any advice, no details too small. Thanks, Pedro. You're truly the best. Thank you. Keep on. And there's a bed and nice meals wating for you in Corvallis, Oregon.

Well done you pedro on fixing your rear brake. The gentleman was right at the border crossing. You are heading in the wrong direction for the season is changing. Especially now with the lock down which will delay your trip further. I guess by the sounds of it this is your second attempt at Argentina/ Pategonia, so I know what that's like when you feel you have unfinished business-you gotta do it. Great stuff Pedro-enjoyed your video & big thum's up. I'm guessing you are stuck in Buenos Aires. That is a real drag & we're all stuck too. Nothin going anywhere. You take care Pedro-

Hi Pedro. hope you're coping OK in lockdown land, must be pretty frustrating, although the rest might do you good. I take it you don't have to be repatriated; that would be a complete ball ache for no apparent benefit. In times like these you have to keep yourself occupied....make some goggles or a little crash helmet for the bunny :) Good Luck, Man!

[@eduardoirigoyengarcia3100]

I don't understand what happened. Why did you do the paperwork twice? On the Uruguayan side (Border Crossing of the "General San Martín" Bridge), the controls and procedures of the two countries (Customs, Gendermería, Migration and Toll) are carried out in one place. It is a unified system.

[@michaelkerkering7047]

Was this during covid??? I desperately need to see my girlfriend in Argentina but flights have been unavailable for months. Is there a way for me to fly to Uruguay and then cross into Argentina like this?? Please someone help!!

[@iPedroMota]

This was almost three weeks before the lock down, flights been suspended until September but I don't see international flights starting even then. This government is taking it real slow. Few weeks ago the ferry between Argentina and Uruguay got going again, once a week on Friday but it's for Uruguayan and Argentine nationals only. Uruguay has been free and open for a while now but not sure about international flights. Maybe you two could meet there or maybe she could could get you some sort of "partner exemption" to get you into the country. Or maybe she could fly out of Uruguay to you. Anyway, South American waifus are the worst to have during these times, endless lockdown in most countries down here. Hang in there mate!

[@michaelkerkering7047]

Pedro Mota Thanks for the info! Unfortunately the latter exemption stuff is only for married people and we are only engaged. I know that international flights have been grounded till September and like you said I have little faith they will get going again anytime soon which only leaves me the option to cross on foot. Are the borders still completely closed? If I was in Uruguay or Brazil am I allowed to cross the border with a passport? At this point I also could give a shit about crossing the border in a “legal” way. If you have anymore details that maybe you could email me about ([e-mail]) that would be greatly appreciated..

I would think twice about venturing too far north. Peru is liken to a police state right now. I follow another biker ichiboots and she is having a really hard time and there is a lot of predudice of foreigners. At this point she is getting helped out of the country by the Netherland government. Her bike stays in Peru. Not a good predicament to be in. If I were you. I would find friendly faces and bunker down.

[@albertopena5644]

Hahaha. It's an integrated inmigration office. You are checked out and in in the same place. You didn't need to go back. But it's a confusion many people had, so I gess the problem is it is not correctly explained.

[@iPedroMota]

Yeah I found out there that I don't need to stamp in to Argentina since the Uruguayan one is already valid because of their union. Though I asked if that also applied to the Uruguayan temporary import of the motorcycle and they said no. Still had to do a new temporary import for Argentina so glad that I ended up going back otherwise I would have been riding around illegally.

[@albertopena5644]

@@iPedroMota Mmmm.... I think you also missunderstood that. The integrated inmigration/customs means that the officials of the two countries operate in the same location. I'm sure that your passport might have been stamped out from Uruguay and in for Argentina in that location (well, maybe stamping out is just done electronically in their registers now). And same thing for the motorcycle admition into Argentina. Since you came back, they probably did that twice. I guess it was a problem of communication. They didn't tell you that the whole process was done the first time, and they didn't completely understood what you were doing there the second time, so they simply repeated the process. I've seen many videos of people stopping at the trucks post in Argentina, looking for inmigration, and some even going back like you. Uruguayans and Argentineans know all that, but other tourists, don't necessarily. The authorities should clariffy the process to everybody.

[@iPedroMota]

Was a bit unclear what you exactly meant but I think I get it now. I went back because the process wasn't complete yet since I only dealt with Uruguayan customs. Still had to visit Argentinian customs and do motorcycle paperwork.

[@iPedroMota]

​@@albertopena5644 I get it for the passport, you're right (no stamp, automatic). I went back for the motorcycle paperwork and specifically asked if the same applied to the temporary import of the motorcycle and they said no. So I had to hand in the temporary import document from Uruguay and they made a new one for Argentina. This did not happen the first time (I didn't go to that office then) so this suggests that the process wasn't automatically completed yet. Otherwise they would have said "no that's also already done you're good to go" just like they did with the passport. Maybe they did something wrong but I doubt it since customs tend to not like doing work unless they have to. You got to remember that my Dutch plates aren't part of the Argentine/Uruguayan customs union, not even Mercosur, my motorcycle is the 0.01% anomaly at the border so the process is probably different. My mistake was not going to the the Argentine office the first time expecting it to be on the other side as is the case usually.

[@albertopena5644]

@@iPedroMota I believe it was their error. I passed that fontier many times and the argentinean customs officials were always after the inmigration office, and before the booth where you had to hand the paper that's says you are done. Even with my Uruguayan plates, the customs guy asks you if you are carrying any prohibited goods and sometimes he may also check the vehicle. Anyway, you probably won't pass that border again... So don't worry.

I've been watching your videos for a while now, and I mostly like them, but I gotta say, your sexism in this video kind put me off. "The bros understand, the girls don't". Really? That 'girl' seemed fairly young, maybe it's her first job, or maybe she's new in that job and doesn't want to get in trouble with her boss? Maybe she's been burnt before. Etc. You complain about women not seeing the context of your situation, but do you sometimes stop and think about the context for other people?
