After a long ascent, I arrived at the border gate and entering the building I saw it was crowded with people from two busses. A classic at the Chilean border gates. As I have mentioned before all the belongings are X-ray checked. As it was my turn, I also was…

One of the funniest things I’ve had in my travel life; “Someone stole my panties at the hostel”. I think I’m one of the unusual travelers who come to Uyuni and never participate in any activity. I didn’t leave the hostel room for the first two days. Then I didn’t…

Rapa Nui or Easter Island. This was the place my father said: “You would go there also” and I replied: “I would.” Chile was the country where I stayed for the longest time during my world tour on bicycle. I’ve traveled in this country from south to north, from…

I passed the Paraguay Argentine border at such a silly point such I’ve never seen before… There is a river flowing between the two countries which acts as a natural border. You need to take the bridge to cross the border but only for pedestrians. Being so, the open-air market…

When I came to the border gate on Brazil side, I got pity for Namık Abi (elder brother in Turkish). There was really a heavy traffic. Dude, he’ll stew in this dress. If you drive a motorcycle than you are in trouble, haha. Afterwards I learned that it took one…

Going through border of Brazilia was very easy. In fact it was really easy even though I didn’t have an exit visa from Uruguay. In 10 seconds passport was checked, got stamp, passing permision was given. After I passed, I met Capybaras, the world’s largest rodents, whom I had seen…

Crossing from Buenos Aires to Uruguay was a bit expensive though the trip was quite comfortable. The ferryboat services going directly from Buenos Aires to the capital of Uruguay are quite expensive. There are trips from Buenos Aires to Colon in Uruguay by ferryboat and from there to Montevideo by…
