I'm a U.S. Citizen living in Medellin, Colombia for the past two years. I'm interesting in joining a group or person riding from Colombia to Equador.

Elkins,
I'm leaving for Bogota on Sunday (September 14). I'll be heading up to Santa Marta & Cartagena, then down through Medellin to Ecuador (and beyond). We can meet up in Medellin. I expect to be there in about 2-3 weeks.

Steve

hey elkins
i´m glad to sea your respos, when would you be able to stard your trip toward equador,?
ill be going to equador myself , i´ll be glad to join somone in colombia .
ps what kind of bike r u taking (mine bmw r1150gs adv.)

I´ll be leaving from Colombia October 15-20, heading to Chachapoyas, Peru. Next, Cajamarca and Callejón de Huaylas over the mountains, not dropping to the Peruvian coast.

As I already know Ecuador, I´ll just ride trough, probably just ascending Chimborazo or Cotopaxi, weather depending.

Riding solo on Suzuki DR-650.

Any one that likes that route ?
