On Tuesday morning, we left Managua and headed to San Jorge, a small town that is just under two hours away. We were scheduled to meet up with Tim and Marisa here to catch a ferry to the island of Ometepe together. After almost an hour-long ferry ride and a pizza lunch, we parted ways […]
We left Orizaba on Wednesday morning and rode for about three hours before we reached San Juan Bautista Tuxtepec. It is a decent city that serves as a good place to stop for a night on the way to Oaxaca, but doesn’t really contain anything of interest for a visitor. We stayed at the only […]
On Monday, September 11, we decided to visit Guanajuato city since we had been hearing so many positive things about the place. We left at around 11:00 AM and rode for about an hour before we got to the historic town center. We quickly found a decent parking spot, parked the bike, and then hit […]
We left for the Barrancas del Cobre (Copper Canyon) after breakfast and arrived at the location in about an hour. We paid 20 pesos (~1.45 CAD) per person for the initial entry and then took a dirt road to where we could ride the gondola. There was some rain along the way so, unsurprisingly, the road […]
We were up bright and early on Wednesday morning. After cold showers (no hot water for the morning) and some coffee at a nearby Oxxo (Mexican convenience store chain, similar to 7-11 in North America), we were on the road at around 8:30 AM. The drive from Yécora to Basaseachi was incredible. The weather was finally […]
We left Hermosillo on Wednesday morning after breakfast and headed towards Yécora – a small town that falls between Hermosillo and Creel. We chose to stop here for the night because we planned to visit the Basaseachic Falls and didn’t want a long day of riding all the way to Creel, where we planned to stay to […]
The ride from Farmington to Albuquerque was a short and scenic one at around 3 hours on the US Route 550. We made many picture stops along the way since the day was nice and the temperature remained within a tolerable range. We arrived in Albuquerque in the afternoon and relaxed a bit before going […]
