Dear all, A month after having finished my solo cycling trip that took me from la Paz (Bolivia), through San Pedro de Atacama (Chile) to Salta (Argentina) with some final days in Paraguay, I now made a video summary. Enjoy 🙂 Â
So I left you all in Salta, Argentina, after I had cycled the last couple of kilometers of this trip. As always, I didn´t want this trip to be over just yet.
