South America
After a year of preparation and two weeks of struggling with Suriname customs the KTM 690s were unpacked and reassembled. The second stage of the South American journey for Dutch pair ‘The Riding Reporters’ was about to begin.
Three years ago I took seven months to ride the western part of South America. Now it was time to finish the transcontinental trip. My ride companions for the rest of the journey would be Lia Bexkens for the first three months and Carli Kooper for the last two, and our departure would be from Suriname on the northeastern coast. Over five months we’d travel through French Guyana, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina and Chili to complete a 25,000km journey.
