My aim was to ride with my bike from Colombia up to Argentina, but an accident made me cancel my aim.
From february until april 2010, I rode 1220 km through Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.
The most beautiful impression I had, was to see Machu Picchu with my own eyes.
The longest stage I had, was when I rode from Otalavo to Quito. (135 km in 14 hours)
The highest point, that I crossed was on the way from Quito to Latacunga. (3300 meters)
