About this film
Episode 26 of Itchy Boots’ second season, Patagonia to Peru, is part of a solo ride around the world on a Royal Enfield Himalayan called Dhanno. Its focus is a day’s travel to see Perito Moreno, described as an impressive glacier and a place where large chunks of ice break off its face. The film’s premise moves from the road to an extended opportunity to observe this natural spectacle.
The journey
The ride begins at Torres del Paine National Park and heads to El Calafate in Argentina. Perito Moreno is the destination, and the glacier provides the episode’s central stop: watching pieces of ice break away can occupy hours. The route connects the park with the Argentine town before the focus shifts to the glacier. This is a leg of a wider solo motorcycle journey, presented within a season whose itinerary is Patagonia to Peru.
