SEE THE WORLD 25 PERU: The Shadow of Ausangate

Hello! Let me take you to the beautiful mountains of Peru!
This is the 25th episode of see the world, following a ride from alaska to argentina and beyond. The video picks up after Huayhuash en route to Ausangate on fairly remote roads but never too far from the shepherds and the miners.

So several people have emailed me and more posted here. I just want to clear up that Shadow, the dog that went with me ran off to a village he must have recognized on the way back (we did a full circuit so it was also close to where he first started following me). He appears on multiple journals on the web where he followed hiking groups on the hike, sometimes leaving partway through the hike. Dogs are smart and know their way. That being said, I had decided that if he follows me away from the Ausangate trek, i would adopt him. He isnt the first dog that has followed me, normally I tell them to go back after few km and if not, i find them a ride back (like Morrocho from episode 20 in colombia). Cheers and thanks for watching!

[@DerEndecker]

Hey Iohan, compare the instagram photo and the video footage. it's not the same dog... Your companion has brow legs and black fur on his chest. amazing video btw and the drone footage is absolutly stunning :O

[@IohanGueorguiev]

Emil H. You are right friend! Fixed. He had the same face, they must be related, haha

[@AnyM4jorDude]

Thanks for explaining that. It must be lonely for you to have a companion and then losing them and the journey goes on. I'm just a sensitive homebody sharing in your adventure. Safe trails and happy company in whatever forms and shapes to be made.

I know this sounds dumb but you have been a light in a dark world to me Iohan. I have probably seen most videos twice. You have such a wonderful personality and soul. Thank you.

[@BeeFunKnee]

Thank you, just for "sounding dumb".., and "hello" from Maine. Our world needs more dumb people.🐶

[@DUKEisALIVE]

Holy SHIT ! Your Videos are getting more and more impressive. The Drone Footage really adds to the already stunning Clips. I love your Storytelling and the way you talk about your adventure. You showed me a completely new approach to life and i am very grateful for that. Thanks for all the Videos and Photos you post and good luck on your Journey. See you in Argentina or beyond !

[@svenman2139]

Iohan, you are the best friend I have never met. Your videos made me feel like I was there with you on your journeys. Sending you love, light and peace wherever you are. Thank you for everything.

[@ChiragMovies]

The narration is off the charts ,its like a documentary from discovery or natgeo ,even better because its only you who does all the riding and filming Lohan you are awesome and thank you for introducing shadow to us ,he's awesome too.

[@alinephanthi3432]

Thank you Iohan for your amazing videos. I am still watching again and again. We miss you so much Iohan. Rest In Peace.

[@ramenadventure]

Beautiful video. I once rented a motorcycle in Cusco and rode for half a day in one direction, then half a day back. Looking into the distance, I wanted to return one day. I think I'll do it with a fat bike. RIP Iohan.

[@maaanuel87]

Like many other episodes, this is one that I love to come back to and watch all over again. Iohan, you were, and still area, a true inspiration. Thank you

[@jirijanecek8126]

I am devastated. Rest in peace Iohan.

[@1Tomaraya]

I think you make the best videoes on youtube. What you do, is what so many people wishes to do, but never get started at. You are a true inspiration to all of us, and i wish you the very best through out your life.

I don´t have words to express the beauty of these mountains. Thank you so much for bringing me along on your crazy adventure! Respect! I am left with tears and laughter every time, but loved this one especially. Love from Norway.

These mountains is the Andes...

Good to meet such a companion. Probably Shadow now guides the next (bike) hiker through the mountains.

I never thought there was someone who does something like you do. Magic? Holy? Simply brave in the extreme? Speak the truth, on what planet were you born? .. I get excited, I laugh, I go to tears, many emotions are mixed in each video. God bless you. Ever!

[@K9OutdoorsSearchTeam]

Your videos are brilliant. The connection with the dogs along your travels are unbelievable. It's amazing how these dogs follow along through crazy weather conditions to basically be by your companion. Its as though they are guides.

[@justintylerlee585]

Your storytelling ability is phenomenal. When movie producers approach you to acquire the rights to tell your story, hold out for more money and demand that they let you direct it.

[@warpigs330]

Now I want to know who you would cast as Iohan.

[@CanyonWanderer]

That areal shot at 1:39 is just out of this world, epic!

[@sukutube12]

You are too brave, impossible, unpredictable,kind and extremely adventurous my friend. Watching your each and every adventure blogs except few episodes like no 21,22 ,23 which are blocked.....your blogs are my every night companion 🙏👍

[@G13force]

Iohan,Thank you for movie!..Super dog!Brave and faithful!

[@Radoslaw731]

The drone footage took my breathe away :O :O

[@cmell]

15:00 that was an awesome jump! I love how nicely you treat dogs.

[@hounslowparks2469]

I watched this one and had a range of emotions. Of course, the living vicariously through Iohan and his travels, they are truely remarkable. I was feeling very judgemental of the environmental damage the mines are doing but then realised I'm sitting here watching these videos on my laptop made of the very metals and resources that places like this come from. I guess there is some sort of trade-off and although I'll probably never get to any of these places I can see them through these remarkable videos that Iohan puts together. Iohan, your videos inspire, provoke and amaze. Keep up the great "work".

[@arunchandranUTUB]

First of all hats off!!! You are one brave... brave... brave... man for traveling alone in such weather conditions and terrible terrain (even though unbelievably beautiful).... !!! This is without doubt the most beautiful video of all the videos you have shot! Do you get scared while crossing such rivers(strong currents), where nobody is around to help you if something bad happens!!!??? Are you not scared about somebody harming you since you travel alone? I cannot even pretend or even think that I can do what you do even though I love to travel!!! Recently I tried to trek alone a mountain in Thailand, on a very foggy rainy day, in a trail of clay...! And that day I realized that I am not that brave...I was shit scared...but somehow managed to finish the trail and felt so PROUD, but told myself, "never again!!!" You are amazing...! Please continue your journey. Footage from this video was amazingly brilliant...!!! Cannot believe places like these exist...! Wishing you good health...Bye...Take care...!!!

[@aniketsamudra1374]

I have the same question Iohan, how are you not scared of travelling in such lonely terrains alone! Anywhere to go with or without someone, i felt that panic stuff of what if something happens.. you are just awesome and brave person.

[@albertoguerra3351]

Amazing, mesmerizing. Your videos exceed all expectations. These places in your journey are something like an alternative dimension. So close to me, I'm from Brazil. But at the same time, so fantastic. You are the man I'd like to be. With the courage, the attitude, the drive, the resilience everyone of your viewers surely envy. Congratulations Iohan. Be sure that there's a whole lotta people who'd love to See the World the way you do. May God be protecting you all the way!!

[@elgreebo]

To the 9 thumbs down people, you should be ashamed of yourselves, we are so lucky to have videos of this quality from a guy that has a heart of gold and balls of steel, I have loved every single one of his videos. Should be made into a tv series. The is nothing not to love and be in awe of. This dude should go on Joe Rogan.....

Every video I think....this was the absolute best video. Then I watch the next one and think the same and so on. Peru is one of my fav. places. (I'm into ancient history and archaeology and forestry (odd combo?) and of course ADVENTURE. NO ONE does adventure better than you lohan! I've had many adventures in my life, like age 16, just picked up and left home, hopped on a plane and flew from Tulsa Oklahoma to Fairbanks Alaska. NO PLAN, little $ and it all worked out fine and was THE BEST EVER!! Parents not to happy lol but they got over it and realized this, was gonna be the type of person I am. Just turned 50, and these days my adventures are on my cycle lol. Nothing compares to you and your "See The World" tho.....many blessings to you!!!

Great video of a part of the world most of us will never seen. The drone footage was spectacular. The dog's departure was a real tear jerker. I hope the dog is going to be okay.

[@canica99]

Just amazing and you hit it out the park. The scenery is just amazing and the whole story being tie up to Shadow the dog is the icing on the cake. I really enjoy watching your adventures and it is an inspiration that I will keep doing my own bicycle touring around the world because what you see and experience out there is legendary and it is inspiring. Cheers to you and that jump Shadow made across the river was amazing. Thank you so much for sharing. A true master piece.

[@IohanGueorguiev]

Thank you! Shadow was spotted in 2019, still giving guides of Ausangate in exchange for food :) there are 4-5 guide dogs there!

[@mikeholmes5824]

Thanks for re-posting this episode. I wonder how many people have given Shadow a lift across the rivers? How cool that a human adventurer would meet up with a canine adventurer.

Glad to see you're still making these. The Andes are so beautiful, and you're sharing a part of the world that most of us would never see otherwise. It makes me happy that no matter how much we change the rest of the world, the mountain lands persist. Even the mining can't change them much.

[@BigByrd-gy8qk]

Still curious that there is even a single dislike on this video. I didn't realize you covered the Ausengate by ending up about where you started. Pretty cool. The shadow looked like a great companion, and reminded me of the sweedish endurance team that adopted a dog while they were competing in South America. The dog adopted them, and the rest is history.

What really puts these videos on my favorite list, besides the ridiculously beautiful cinematic work is the narration and voice overs you do. Your voice is just ridiculously soothing. You could 100% get a job as a voice-over artist or an audiobook narrator to make additional money to fund your trips.

Purely amazing bikepacking and unique adventure showing your efforts and the very very beautiful views over the mountains of Peru! I wonder where the Shadow, or Wet Dog Friend is now I hope the very best for this your sweet companion following your epic voyage through the cloudy mountains and high planes of Andes in Peru! Breathtaking views when the clouds move away and the sky partly cleared up for a moment! Very nice to also see your drone views over the magnificent landscape seen from above! The animals are more than cute! Thank you dear Iohan so very much for sharing your ride from your special route to Ausangate and the remote roads with the forceful streams rushing down from the high mountains after the heavy rains and melting glaciers and snow! May your ride be both safe and happy along the way to Argentina in south!
