Soldato
I'm currently travelling South America by motorcycle, and while I'm stuck in Salta with a broken shock absorber I thought I'd share some of the scenes I've witnessed with you.
I'm travelling with a Sony A7, 35/2.8, 50/1.7, 10-18/4, and a 70-210/4.5-5.6 (basically too much gear).
I'm recording my trip on my blog, Facebook, and occasionally Twitter and Instagram, so many of these images will be duplicated there.
The coatis of Iguazu. They look like cute fury little creatures, but they have massive teeth and super sharp claws. You should see them quibble of scraps of food.
Isuzu falls were amazing. definitely worth the four days of riding from Buenos Aires. I was gutted that I left my polariser and ND filter back at the hotel.
Iguana isn't just about the falls though. There's plenty of wildlife, from birds, to lizards, and even crocs.
In Bolivia I took the shortest route from Tupiza to Uyuni. Those 150 miles took two days due to the road, but the scenery was breathtaking. Ended up camping at 4,000 metres.
Of course no-one goes to Uyuni without visiting the train cemetery.
Incahuasi Island is at the centre of the Salar, and is home to thousands of cacti. They grow at something like 10mm per year, so these are very old.
The Salar de Uyuni. The largest salt flat in the world. Great for messing about on. I won a gopro for this image in a competition by Travelex.
Of course I decided to ride the Yungas Road. Formerly the most dangerous road in the world. It's much tamer these days as all the big trucks now take the bypass.
Stayed at a lodge in the small Bolivian town of Coroico. I loved waking up to this view every morning.
Lake Titicaca, the world's highest navigable body of water.
Spent two weeks in Cusco, Peru, waiting for a delivery. It was two days from arriving when the postal service decided to strike indefinitely.
Part of the old town of Cusco with its steep, narrow streets.
