Salento Colombia to Chiclayo Peru 26th 11 11


Salento


The ride from Salento to Cali in Colombia , was another great Mountain ride . On arriving in Cali I meet up with 3 guys from England  riding 1991 BMWs , and have been travelling with them ever since .

The next stop was Popayan, probably one of the nicest in Colombia

More mountains on the way to Ipiales , approx 7kms from the border with Ecuador

This Catherdal was septacular , just out side of Ipialas . The border crossing was very easy and we were through in no time

First snow topped Mountain , virtually right on the Equator
