La Guajira Colombia

[madaru moto]

I just got back from La Guajira, its absolutely beautiful. Watch those sandy patches though! The trip to the northernmost point, Punta Gallinas, was difficult because I took the wrong trail, but man, what an adventure! My Chinese enduro has now done over 22,000kms - all in South America - since I bought it new in Dec 2011.








Full La Guajira report here (including lots of photos of the bike on its side)
