The route

During our trip, you can follow us through this website and see where our bikes take us. First we fly to Ushuaia, the most Southern city in the world, close to the South Pole. From there on we’ll head north, to Prudhoe Bay in Alaska which lies within the Arctic Circel of the North Pole. That journey will take us through the countries Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Equador, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, USA and Canada. On our way over there, we hope to experience many things and we’ll try to keep you posted on those experiences.

To be able to determine a route, we used maps of all the countries, (guide)books and of course the internet. We were able to come up with a list of highlights which we shouldn’t miss. We’ll decide on the exact route as we go, which means that (about) every day we’ll see what our choices of routes are and decide then and there which road we’ll take. Some days this will be easier than others, for example because there’s only one road we can take.
