[S2 - Eps. 46] Caught in a hail storm at 4700 meters altitude in the Andes!

In this episode I am riding from Copiapo in Chile, to Fiambala in Argentina. I am crossing over the Paso San Francisco, above 4700 meters altitude. Right after the pass, I catch some bad weather!
But that doesn't spoil this fantastic motorcycle ride across the Andes!

Yesterday i ' ve seen Basanti in real @ Brussels car and motorshow.It was a strange feeling after watching all those video's of her.... but...she was happy standing there 🙂

[@delwhylie4748]

A person like me who has never traveled out side of the USA has seen some very beautiful landscapes here in this country. But; I really never seen so much beautiful terrain until watching these video's on KZbin. It's just incredible to see so many new things including the people you meet. Thank you so much for sharing your traveling with the rest of the world. You are like the newest generation of explorers from hundreds of years ago are alive today. All from a tiny camera and a selfie stick man the world has came a long way's thanks to people like you.

Deine 10 stündigen Reise Etappen sind eine Belastung für Körper und Geist, welche man dir zu fast keinem Zeitpunkt in deinen Videos anmerkt. Die sind immer so schön, auch von der Auswahl deiner Musik, dass ich das Gefühl habe zu fliegen. Selbst die Aufnahmen im Hagelschauer waren super gefühlvoll. Mir fehlen die Worte, um dir sagen zu können, warum ich dich und deine Videos so einzigartig schön finde. Das ich dich so liebe, hat seinen Grund darin, dass du dich uns so präsentierst wie du wirklich bist. I love Noraly! ❤

I am getting to know my country through those beautiful blue eyes....it is absolutely incredible, for years I have been looking to go on vacation to a desert, a place with as few people as possible, and today I came across a perfect place. Now I understand why the Dakar ran so many times in the Fiambala area, the landscapes are impressive. just one more word.... THANK YOU.

[@jameshay884]

ginta augustin Really, the roads appear to all be in like-new condition! How do they manage that? Here in Canada the winters just tear the roads apart, and packed gravel seems to be the best we can afford to maintain. Must be because there is no humidity in the Atacama to create frost heaving of the asphalt. But for sure, the road engineers there have been very active and successful at their work.

(whispers) Good Morning Noraly! (shamelessly using your first name) Ah! Riding into the sunrise into the mountains. Brings back memories. Another video filled with amazing scenery. Drone is worth every penny. Sad to hear about the failure of color transmission. When I did photography, post processing to recover the colors was always a pain. Those three peaks are an amazing sight. Such a desolate and barren landscape, like another planet. Lunch at a beautiful spot! You can always tell glacier filled lake by the characteristic blue, different from snow melt dark blue. Those are some really red rocks just before more fantastic geology. Another absolutely wonderful video. I stopped assuming that you cannot top your previous videos. You seem to do it on a regular basis. Thank you for the best 20 minutes of my morning.

Ever since you passed through Iran, I have also followed your journey on Google Earth. It is so interesting to try to match your recording locations with the zoomed-overhead from space, and follow your progress each day.
