Crossing the High Andes ⛰️ | Argentina to Chile Adventure Motorcycle Travel 🏍️
We attempt to cross the High Andes by motorcycle, riding from Argentina 🇦🇷 to Chile 🇨🇱 on a high-altitude route through northern Argentina. This is our second attempt at an Andes motorcycle crossing, climbing above 4,200 metres on one of the highest paved roads in South America — the Paso Jama.
This episode follows a real adventure motorcycle journey through extreme altitude, thin air, and vast open landscapes. Riding deeper into the Andes, we pass the enormous Salinas Grandes salt flats, encounter wild Andean llamas, and experience the physical effects of high-altitude motorcycle riding as the road continues to climb.
After being forced to turn back days earlier reaching the Argentina–Chile border at the Paso Jama feels like a breakthrough, but the mountains are far from finished with us!
This is motorcycle travel in South America exactly as it is — remote, challenging, and deeply rewarding.
