[S2 – Eps. 41] My motorcycle and me are boiling in the desert in Argentina
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
A solo motorcycle ride through an Argentine desert becomes a demanding day of soaring temperatures, difficult road conditions and a closed hostel. This Season 2 episode focuses on the less comfortable realities that can come with travelling long distances by motorcycle.
About this film
Part of Itchy Boots’ “Patagonia to Peru” series, the episode follows a leg of a journey around the world on a Royal Enfield Himalayan named Dhanno. Its focus is a particular day on the road rather than a motorcycle review or a guide to equipment. The account stays close to the practical setbacks of travel: heat, a challenging ride and accommodation that is unavailable. Together, these details make the episode a grounded portrait of a difficult stretch in a solo motorcycle journey.
The journey
The ride takes place in a desert in Argentina, where temperatures are high and the road proves difficult. The hostel is closed, adding another complication to a day the rider describes as among the less successful ones of the journey. The episode connects these setbacks with the broader experience of long-distance motorcycle travel, where a ride does not always go to plan. Its setting and events are presented as one episode within the wider Patagonia-to-Peru season.
What to expect
- A solo ride through a desert in Argentina
