I have a real love-hate relationship with your videos. I love the scenery, roads you ride, interaction with locals, music and narration, but hate the fact that you've opened my eyes to so many amazing places I'll likely never see for myself. I suppose this is the next best thing though, so thank you for taking us along for the ride. 🍻
Some great roads and very scary left handers on the 'shelf roads'. Love the 'time has stood still' feel to these remote roads and small towns. Some useful info on navigation in this amazing part of Peru, thank you Rose. And the toll collecting pig.....well, just another surprise. Thank you, another great video.
Glad you enjoyed it! Those Backroads and Villages are what dreams are made of. Zero tourist, zero tourism, and zero fluff... it's getting harder and harder to find.
@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets Actually, the way I came to look at being a pillion passenger is this: You must believe that the driver wants to stay alive as much as you do.
Those roads..... I confess to feeling very slightly sick due to the sheer drop down into the valley... and that's while sitting in my comfy chair a couple of feet from my computer screen. 🤣 Thank you so much for taking us along.... Peru, what a place.
An avid follower for many years now... always brings a smile when l see a new upload Without doubt..each season the quality of your videos goes up a notch.. Love how Rosie swings her leg over the AT..then pulls herself back in her comfy commander position..😅 Wow..the scenery is amazing....and unlike many go by the book traveller...Chad enjoys the..Oh... turn left , turn right.. let's see what's up here... Take care..
Thanks so much for supporting the channel, as well as your kind words! I was riding with a guy years ago in the Mojave Desert. We pulled over for a bit of water and beef jerky, and he asked where we were going. I told him that I had absolutely no idea because I had never been in that specific area before. He absolutely freaked out... It ended up being a great day and our last ride together. Being "lost" is more a state of mind than anything else. Some people don't cope well with uncertainty.
I travel in very well documented parts of the world and Google Maps gets it wrong once in a while! I can only imagine up in those mountains! On a side note, that AT is bombproof 🙂
The AT is a beast, in both abilities and proportions! 😁 And yeah, Google Earth has definitely taken us on our fair share of interesting "shortcuts"... 🫣
Every time you upload a video, I want to press the like button about a dozen times. Love your travel style, the places you go, your storytelling and humour and especially Rose's way of narrating the whole thing. Also, as someone who's collected several duck-related nicknames over the past two decades (including Pato), I obviously love the mere idea of Duck Canyon almost as much as the reality of it. Great to see you back in the game!
Ha ha... thanks so much, and feel free to smash that like button as many times as you can! 😁 We're actually trying to figure out the story behind the name Cañón del Pato... While the literal translation is Canyon of the duck, I have the feeling that means something entirely different... 🤔
@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets Anything descending east of the top of the Andes in both Peru and Bolivia was very dense rainforest. This was in the 1960s. Sparse population too. In big cities like Lima, the occasional armed revolution. Very few roads in the mountains. The Pato did not exist. We drove on llama herders tracks sometimes. Tons of camelloids, some wild vicuñas, few other domestic herd animals. The wildlife looks kind of gone now with the green. What I see here makes me feel kind of sad.. Small towns in the high country usually had mining of tin or silver. The export of coca was not a thing yet. We drove around out of curiosity too. Thanks for the update.
I love the "GPS says go this way, oh cr*p, do I have to?" thing in those tiny villages. Keep 'em coming!😅. PS Nice Doctor Who opening credits vibe in those tunnels down Canyon del Pato.
Google maps are a waste of time for these two, they really do explore places that are truly 'off-road'. Riding with Chad and Rose is emotional....fear, surprise, laughs, disbelief, amazement and most of all, the keeping it real side makes this Top Shelf watching!!!
Thanks for the best motovlog on the internet. Have been following since the brewery days in Chile Since I last commented we have left New Zealand and now live in Curitiba, Brazil. Our Tiger 900 rally pro is in the shop today for it's 1000km service. Ran it in on the Rastro do Serpente. Heading to Ushuaia in February and the Argentina MotoGP and Catamarca in March. Your videos are inspirational and I'm sure we'll be following in your tyre tracks in Peru at some stage.
Wow! From New Zealand to Brazil? That's a change in scenery!! Curitiba is a great base - close to some incredible riding!! You'll be in good company on that Tiger. Nothing but Triumphs and BMWs in Brazil. Thanks so much for supporting the channel all these years! Have a great ride down to Ushuaia and be sure to check out the Chilean side of Tierra del Fuego if you have a chance!!
Wow, you guys ride some of the coolest roads ever! Even if you don't know where you are! You are so brave, even though your luggage is chicken shit. Lol.
I see what you did there!!! 😂 Not knowing where we are is half the fun! I know opinions vary, but people who research absolutely everything take the out of discovery...
Hello Chad & rosé, yesterday we did the off road ride from Sihaus to Chacas (ruta 107) it was a 8 hour ride but it was amazing. Today our Africa Twin goes treu the tunnel punta Olympica . Safe rides, see you. Marco & Ilse

What In the wide wide world of sports do these people do in these towns besides just walking around, just curious about lifestyles there, this is some real remote areas you travel through, endless epic rides your on, thanks for sharing guys. Rob in Ala.
In city centers, you'll find a lot of the typical shops, services and restaurants you'd ind anywhere. But, the majority of the population operates within a subsistence economy.
Thank you!! A lot of the names of Peruvian cities are derived from Quechua. Both "Pampa" and "Bamba" are fields or flatlands. Likely Pampa is highland flatlands and Bamba is lowland flatlands (but don't quote me on that). "Cocha" means lake... and like a lot of languages, they use compound words. So "Cochabamba" would be a city on the shore of a lake in the lowlands plains, and "Cochapampa" would be a city on the shore of a lake in the highlands plains...
That blind bend pickup truck encounter at 21:50 would have made me buy a box of Depends. The downhill on 545 would have made me buy a subscription. 😮😂 Amazing vistas. Thanks for taking us along for the ride!
Bwaa ha ha... Honestly, you sorta get used to those near misses. That's why you really need to take it slow on those roads. The videos of people sliding their ADV bikes around blind corners drive me nuts!!
There are youtubers who travel in jets from one continent to another and from ones city to another's and from ones hotels from another's urban cowboys....there's another breed of cowboys. The ones who brave impenetrabo sierras and jungle in motocycles and then the couple's who travel on one motorcycle inthe Andes...these are the craziest 😮..dont over do it is bad for your longevity

Nice drone work, Chad. Watch that tunnel wall
Actually, this has really good edidting with all of the cameras
Well done
👌
Thanks. Stay tuned, I crash the drone in the next episode as well... 😂
I got dizzy watching this video. You have great driving skills on your AF fully loaded.
Thanks 👍 The roads always seem way scarier on video than they do in real life!

The Tunnel Road is amazing if a little scary. Rear facing shots looked like you were in the Matrix! Great ride, stay safe guys🤞
Thanks!! The 360 camera really does provide a cool perspective!
The trust Rose has in your driving skills....I was holding my breath more than a few times!
When you ride pillion, if you don't 100% trust the driver, you shouldn't get on the bike. That simple.
She's got bigger ones than I do. I can't ride pillion... it's terrifying!! 😬
@@TwoWheelsThreeSheets Actually, the way I came to look at being a pillion passenger is this: You must believe that the driver wants to stay alive as much as you do.

Well, you've seen our luggage. We're not afraid to pack it in!! 😅
Wow my stomach was turning on those high roads. That safe parking urgh! Beautiful scenery! Thanks for sharing. Love your videos!
Thanks so much! First time ever using a "secure lot" with a guard turkey! 😅

I grew up in Peru and Bolivia. Long ago. The climate has changed so much of the landscape.
How so? Please, do tell!

@karenatha7890 Wow... I would have loved to have seen it then! 🖤 Thank you for responding!
Thanks Guys, another great batch of Data.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Blooper at the end

Beautiful country. Those highways look more like Jeep trails.
Not just any highway, a National Highway! That was a Peruvian Interstate!! 😲
What a ride !
T'was indeed!!
Beautiful journey and nice filming,💐👏👌👍
Thanks! It's an amazing part of the world.

Your selection of pig patrolled “super highways” in this episode is right up my alley. Clearly the safety police haven’t made it to Peru yet.

Real deal !

I was rather surprised how hard it is to find breakfast and coffee in Peru. This section was one of real highlights for me in Peru.
Each region is a bit different. In some places, the concept of a morning meal does indeed seem a bit foreign. Did you manage to ride Highway 106?
@TwoWheelsThreeSheets - I did. I stayed for multiple days in Caraz, so I did multiple loops in and around the park.
@DeweyRides amazing, isn't it?

@TwoWheelsThreeSheets class. Thank you for explaining.
Google Maps and their dreaded shortcuts uphills you don’t want to go. I had that when I was in Sicily. Always follow your instincts.
Google Maps has tried to take us down flights of stairs, across airport runways, and through some of the worst favelas of Brazil... 😂
