I’ve Never Seen Trees This Big! 🌴 – EP.390
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
This motorcycle-travel episode follows a ride through Colombia’s Cocora Valley, where the road passes beneath towering palms at about 2,500 metres. Green mountains and mist frame a journey focused on the scale of the landscape and the experience of riding among the valley’s remarkable trees.
About this film
Part of the South America series, the film documents a ride through Cocora Valley during a solo journey around the world. The creator set out from Australia in April 2017 on a BMW F800GS, without deciding in advance on a final destination or a fixed duration for the trip. This episode brings that open-ended motorcycle journey to a Colombian landscape that stands out for its exceptionally tall palms. Its central story is the passage along a road through the valley and the rider’s close view of trees described as reaching 60 metres.
The journey
The route described leads through Cocora Valley at an elevation of around 2,500 metres. The ride is presented through its road, green mountain surroundings and mist, with the palms becoming the defining feature as the motorcycle travels beneath them. The description does not give a starting point, destination beyond the valley, or further route details, so the film’s travel focus remains on this particular stretch and the striking change in scale between rider and trees. It is a compact episode within the broader South American leg of a continuing solo world trip, rather than a guide to a full itinerary.
People, places and moments
Cocora Valley is the specific location at the heart of the film. The palms are the key landmark: their reported height of 60 metres and the experience of riding underneath them give the episode its point of view. The description also singles out the road, green mountains and mist as part of the ride’s appeal, while identifying it as one of the creator’s favourite rides in Colombia so far. No other encounters or events are specified, keeping the emphasis on the landscape and the motorcycle journey through it.
