It is a rite of passage you have to do in the bike travel fraternity before you realise South America is where it's at.

Just make sure you check out other visa agencies like Stan Tours and the one suggested by Walter in the thread I linked to.

Best regards from Arequipa in southern Peru. No rain no mosquitoes friendly hoteliers cheap hotels friendly petrol pump attendants. £900 will buy you a flight and the loss on buying and selling a bike. Just sayin' :mchappy::Beach:

Yes.. I agree 100%.

I did a seven month tour all over South America. Absolutely loved it.

But yes, I have to cross 'The East' off my list before I can justify going back to South America.

I still need to ride Australia/NZ, North America and Scandinavia and then I can go and live in a dark cave somewhere with my goats.

Forgot to add a PS to my previous post

On a Brit passport, not a visa in sight....

Dave : Met bloke who bought your xc in Foz do Iguaçu a few weeks ago. He was waiting for new spokes to be sent from somewhere. Don't think I met your nearly Peruvian wife, although I had to spend a lot of time explaining to the locals I wasn't some cad from (the) Wirral, but actually a true gentleman from Yorkshire. :welcome:

Now this thread needs to get back on topic before the Off Topic Polis develop a sense of humour colonic irrigation infusion

I'm from the Wirral... You have to be invited to live here. We're working on a large wire fence to keep the Wools out.

All I can say about Real Russia, as I've already said in another thread, is that they were completely professional and kept me up to date on what was happening in a relatively complex application for a business visa i.e. a Kiwi living in Germany with no previous Russian visa. It was probably relatively expensive but nobody in Germany could make it happen.

Even if I use real Russia... I will surely still have to go to the Russian and Mongolian embassies to get biometric data taken ???

So what am I paying real Russia £400 in arrangement fees for ??

For making ist happen and for getting you the right LOI for your multy entry busines Visa.
This is something not every agency is able to do !!!
