Vilcabamba, Ecuador to Jaén, Peru

Ride Day 46: Vilcabamba, Ecuador to Jaén, Peru by Motorbike

After spending the New Years in Vilcabamba, Ecuador, I readied myself with the border crossing at La Balza on my way to Jaén, Peru. The trip would take me more than 10 hours and 200 miles (313 kilometers) across mostly on off-road dirt tracks through the Andes mountain ranges. A friend of mine, Chris, had taken this journey less than a week earlier.
