Having just entered Peru on my motorcycle, I set off from Jaén with the goal of reaching Cajamarca in a single day. But things don’t go as planned!
As I'm about to leave Jaén, I stop to get some local cash and share tips on how to find ATMs with lower fees. Then, the real adventure begins — mountain roads that switch between perfect asphalt and muddy off-road sections. On one of the curves, my rear wheel slips, and I crash! Luckily, the damage is minimal. Surprisingly, I meet two other riders who had the exact same accident just 10 minutes earlier.
Together, we push on through relentless rain, cold, and mud, before finally reaching Bambamarca, where we decide that enough is enough — it’s time to rest and celebrate that we made it alive through this tough day.
This ride had it all: unpredictable weather, challenging terrain, and the incredible companionship of fellow motorcycle travelers. Join me on this wild adventure through the Peruvian Andes!
📍 Route: Jaén → 3N → Bambamarca
