Your cinematography skills are better and better. You’re capturing the landscape and the challenges it brings you in such a way you‘re taking us all with you. Terrific!
No way... sure you guys didn't have a support team following behind? Amazing how you guys survived! I think this would leave you with a memory worth of a lifetime!
This little girl sure would Have loved to ride with you through the Salar and away... wish her to chose her life. Yiu are inspiring people all along you route. Amazing view from a distance, these two little cyclists on the white and blue screen ! Go on, ride safe !
Liebe Louisa und Tobias! Vielen herzlichen Dank für dieses Video! Unglaubliche Bilder die uns nur entfernt ahnen lassen, wie es sich für euch angefühlt haben muss, dort zu radeln! Danke, daß ihr uns mitnehmt und teilhaben laßt an etwas was wir wohl nie erleben werden! Ein Geschenk! Kommt gut und sicher voran! Andreas & Barbara
I would have liked to have seen some videos of the really bad parts of the riding. It seems others who have toured Bolivia have said it was not worth it. Very difficult roads and very bad drivers and bad accommodations. I see the congestion in La Paz with Google Street View and I can't imagine riding through those streets. One blogger said that it was hell getting the bikes to the cable cars as they won't let you use the elevators. Carrying the bikes up the stairs was a nightmare. How did you guys get in and out of La Paz? I'm not sure I would go through all the bad roads to get to the salt flats, just to have even worse roads to get out of Bolivia. Are the salt flats really worth all that? I do love your videos. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Great video. I was cringing looking at all that salt on the bikes, but that's awesome that they have a place at the end to hose them off! Safe travels!
Hey Cycle FAM Love all ur Vidz! But WoW ❤ Jyz stunning views! And as others expressed, The Cinematography MY! Love ya! Keep it Rubber side down! Cycle Soldiers HE-HE
Congratulations for you great Video and welcome to the Salar de Uyuni "flat-tires-club"! I think we are both the only two womens who could have a flat tire there :-). Greetings from glorypedalling, Sabine and Uwe
New subscriber here, thanks for posting. Great choice of music. I'm sure I've missed it from your previous videos. How are you able to navigate some of these roads/routes? Obvious answer would be a app or satellite GPS. Just curious because I'd be worried of getting lost. Thanks.
Thanks for the sub! We generally navigate with google maps & Komoot on our phones. On the Salar we often followed tire tracks and used distant mountains for general reference. But we also had the “line” from our planned Komoot route to check.
cool images and warming attitude, congrats. Question: Why did you choose not to bike on Argentina side (according to your website the only part that you biked was in Tierra del Fuego and a bit of Santa Cruz)? I asked this because there is so much pristine nature to enjoy and breath in: Patagonia (El Chalten, Calafate, Parque Nacional Los Glaciares, Bariloche, Alumine and much...mure more), Salta, Tucuman, Cordoba...
First off, it was nice to meet you both. I wish we had more time to chat. Second, great job on the video. Our route was almost identical. We likely missed each other by a few days and it’s interesting to see someone else’s interpretation of almost the exact same adventure. We actually have a lot of shots in common. Thanks for sharing and safe travels.
@@louisaandtobi I just got back to the states yesterday. I’m not sure what my next move is. I’m thinking Columbia, but no bike. Just a month of Spanish lessons.
Wow, you bikepacked in Boivia... Cool video, nice mountain view... I live in Santa Cruz, Bolivia... How did you like the weather😂... Sure hope in the future you should bikepack to Argentina... Thanks, keep safe enjoy your rides👍😃❤👊...
We have certainly enjoyed all the videos. I think we are caught up. Are We? Is there after Bolivia videos? Would love numbering if that would be a consideration. We love all your narratives and great Wow...the Peru was stellar!
Bolivia is the latest travel video 😊 All the travel videos (except Peru because that is a stand-alone docu) are numbered… Bolivia is part 30, for example, like it says in the title 😊
@@louisaandtobi Thanks. I watch on TV and haven't seen the numbers...but will look harder. I might just be too anxious to start it up. Watched your2023 plans video and look forward to all. You two are just great and love seeing how well you enjoy your adventures and each other.
Most of the time there are “trails” carved into the salt from cars which you can follow. Otherwise we used distant mountains as reference and followed the planned “line” on our phones. 😅
I would highly recommend to you doing most of the way south through Argentina! Infinite reasons: is much more scenic through Ruta 40, maybe 3 times cheaper than Chile (you have already realized the European plus prices in Chile) and hospitality is different as well, Argentinians (in general) being more hospitals than Chilean (they are cool too). In case you go use Western Union to send money from home, as you will pay LESS THAN HALF OF the OFFICIAL RATE. Using credit card or withdrawing from the ATM, you will have a much less favourable rate. Another good reason: The best wine in the world is from the Northwest and Mendoza provinces! The Carretera Austral, south of Pto Montt is obviously a must!, but the North of Chile is completely worthless. In case you get stuck for the next winter in Argentina (it is too late to reach Ushuaia in time), you will find cheap places for rent or volunteer as well. And immigration also very easy. You can extend to a Year, paying some fine before or after. Go to Argentina!
It’s very interesting for us to read this after now cycling three weeks through the “worthless” north of Chile and actually really enjoying it! Sure, parts get a bit dull, but other parts and the national parks along the coast are really beautiful. And from what we’ve seen (on Instagram) of other people currently cycling the Ruta 40, there is a lot more rain and to be honest, the scenery didn’t look too special. Regarding the people, we of course can’t speak for Argentina, but in Chile the hospitality has been incredible! Hardly a day goes by where we aren’t given something on the road, and have even been invited to stay with people. One of the countries with the best hospitality we’ve ever encountered, in fact! Chile is expensive, for sure, but as it’s been so easy to wild camp, and the people so hospitable, it hasn’t been too big of a problem. Accommodation is always the most significant cost factor. We’re not really fans of Western Union, with the fees it’s often actually not that cheap, and the lines to pick up money can be very long. We use “Revolut”, where we have pre-paid credit cards and can, in most countries, pick up money at any ATM without any fees and really good exchange rates. We might go to Argentina after Santiago, before we come back to Chile to cycle the Carretera Austral, but not sure yet. Did you get your opinion of northern Chile / Argentina from personal experience cycling both or is it just what you heard?
@@louisaandtobi Actually from personal experience cycling it, I did part of the Ruta 40, in the Northern Argentina, but yes, is rainy season now, forgot about it. I went also to Ushuaia 10 yrs ago from Southern Brazil, through Carretera Austral. Thanks for taking the time answering me, but you didn't had to do so! Enjoy your time, your videos are superhiper good! You should have a million subscribers!
Your cinematography skills are better and better. You’re capturing the landscape and the challenges it brings you in such a way you‘re taking us all with you. Terrific!
Thank you 😊
I would like to join that. And it's not just the recordings that are great, much more, you guys are great.

Thanx for summing it up for a lot of us, I'm sure

Amazing trip guys. Super cool to be doing all these trips back to back. How did you gather all the funds: charities, saving, etc.?
It's fascinating!

Thanks! Was nice to briefly meet you too 😊 What’s your route looking like now? We saw you went north to Copacabana, right?

Thanks 😅
What an amazing trip through the salt plains. How do you keep your bearing? Did you use a compas?
Most of the time there are “trails” carved into the salt from cars which you can follow. Otherwise we used distant mountains as reference and followed the planned “line” on our phones. 😅
How do you carry that guitar...
Interested in your bags and racks...👍😃❤👊
Hey, if you check out our “Bikes & Gear” playlist we have several videos about our bags, guitar rack, etc. there. 😊

You dont need salt for to cook. A lot of salt there.😂
