 Hello? Hello? Is there anybody up? We have to go to a keymaker. To make us a new key. Hold on just a minute. Hi, I'm Lavi. And I'm Oli. And this is our hero, Bumblebee. Together, we are attempting a Guinness World Record to become the youngest pair to circumnavigate the globe by motorcycle. Join us for season three here in South America. Good morning world. Welcome back to the channel. It's day number 239 on our circumnavigation around the globe by motorcycle. We're here in this beautiful little camp in the town of El Condor in Argentina. But this campsite is not just for people. It's also for parrots because there's parrots everywhere. And actually this town houses the world's largest parrot colony on the sea cliffs that we went to see last night. There's like hundreds of them along the cliffs here which was absolutely spectacular. Absolutely amazing. And we got woken up this morning at about four o'clock by the lovely parrots. Yeah, they said that the couples have nests in the rocks but the juveniles that are single and ready to mingle they just fly all around the town causing havoc and making a lot of noise. But let me show you guys where we're going to be heading today. So now we've got our awesome new GNC rutas de la Argentina map from the petrol station yesterday. I'm super happy about. So I've put our route from Uruguay, Buenos Aires down the day before yesterday to Colonel Pringles and then yesterday over to the other side through Bahia Blanca and to where we are right now in Valmiero El Condor. And today we are going to be continuing on the three past Las Crutas down, down, down, down, down, down, down through Puerto Madrin and then going on to the two out onto the Valdez Peninsula to camp at Puerto Pernides. The Valdez Peninsula is basically the Patagonian Mecca for marine wildlife. The entire peninsula is a reserve and it's home to some crazy animals like elephant seals and sea lions and penguins and off the coast of the Valdez Peninsula. There's nursing whales and orcas. It will be awesome to check this peninsula out tomorrow. But for today, we have still a very long way to go. We have about 330 miles, which is about 530 kilometers and we still have to pack up the tent. It's already 9 o'clock. So better hit the road. Let's go. Hi guys.

Through the trees, around the Eucalyptus and ready to rock and roll. 4, 5, 6. Good morning. Good morning Chatsi. Good morning Chatsi Quatsi. Ready to hit the road? Yep. Let's do it. Bye bye. Peaceful camp. Peaceful until 4 a.m. When the juveniles came back from their parrot party. Anyway, you can't really be angry, you know. I think I'm really happy to be walking up by nice parrots. There's no way you can be mad at parrots. No way. But it's really crazy because we did some research about this area here but no one told us that here is the biggest colony of parrots in the world. It seems like something that people should have mentioned. Yeah, exactly. I mean how amazing is that? I mean yeah, that's unbelievable. So before we leave town, I just want to have a quick look at the top of the cliffs. Look, you can see parrots all around. Awesome. It's lovely. Wow, look at this. So basically, these are the cliffs that we were at the bottom of last night. The parrots build their burrows all along this cliff here because the material is very soft. So they spend year after year as a breeding pair to basically dig out a burrow that they use the same burrow every year to to breed their chicks. So they end up with these little caves and then you've got just thousands upon thousands of caves on this coastline. Apparently there are 37,000 breeding pairs of parrots on these cliffs and it stretches for kilometres and kilometres along. Crazy, no? It's absolutely magical. Of course, most of them aren't home at the moment. They're all off feeding. Their feeding grounds are actually in land and they feed on berries from bushes in the desert region. of this peninsula. Apparently they can fly a red online hundreds of kilometres in a day looking for food because of course the increase in tourism farmland and everything is decreasing their natural habitat. So they're having to fly further and further and further to find their berries and bring them back here. But what an incredible view for the morning, eh? And I don't know if you guys can see on the GoPro, but all of these birds that you can see flying around are green parrots. All of them. Magical, magical. All the birds are so nice. They're so nice. Flying around having fun. Bye bye guys. I got all chilled on the electricity lines. Cool. Man, I love to see wildlife. It's just the best in the world. Here you can see like how remote this town is because if you see to the left is nothing and then to the right there's the town, you know. It was our third day riding south from Buenos Aires and we were now entering deep into an area called the Patagonian Desert or Patagonian Step. This vast eco region covers the entire area east of the Andes Mountains and is the largest desert in Argentina and the eighth largest desert in the world occupying 260,000 square miles. Miles that we would have to cross as we let the hum of our noble Steve Bumblebee lead us down the 1,900 mile long Ruta National 3. This is a big place. Such a long time. Hello. Just taking a break in the middle of the Patagonian Desert. It's really nice to use around here. It's epic. And we've got 127 miles to go to reach the camp for tonight. This is a really, really big place. After our break, we pulled into a petrol station to fuel up before heading onto the Valdez Peninsula. But a slight lapse in concentration put us in a tricky situation as we accidentally put our tank bag on over the fuel cap with the key still in, bending it a full 90 degrees. Uh-oh. Okay. Yeah, let's go. Okay. Trying to straighten out. Okay, so first, first this bit is to straighten out. First we straighten that bit out. We have to go to a keymaker. To make us a new key. Hold on just a minute. Works. Fixed it. It's a little bit bent, but it works. Feeling incredibly relieved, we hit the road for the final leg of our journey onto the Valdez Peninsula. Here we go. Officially turning onto the Valdez Peninsula. Penguins, we are coming. Woo-hoo-hoo. So we have 50 miles onto this peninsula before we get to our camp and it's already 5.30, so it's been a long day already and we've just actually gone over 300 miles for the day. So it's another incredibly long day, but the important thing is that we got here, we got to the Valdez Peninsula and that means tomorrow is time to explore. Hola. Buenos dias. Thank you. 2,800 per person. Okay, gracias, thank you. Muchas gracias. 2,800 pesos entry per person. So that's about 14 pounds each. But anyway, it's worth it for the penguins, for the penguins. We just stopped in the visitor's centre at the beginning of the peninsula and look what they have, look what they have. Whoa, a whole whale skeleton, elephant seal. This is the skull of a killer whale, an orca, and apparently it's possible to see them on this peninsula hunting seals on the beach. But I think we'll have to be really lucky if we were to see that. The lady at the desk told us that the high tide is the best time to see them hunting on the beach and high tide tomorrow is at 8 a.m. And it's around a two hour gravel road ride to get there. So we're going to have to get up really early tomorrow if we want to see those. Here's all the animals that we can maybe see. Buenos dias, yes. Wow. That's amazing. Hello guys. Wow, he just jumped the fence. Incredible, look how big they are. Beautiful creatures. Look at this, the sign says bienvenidos a Puerto Piramides. That's awesome. Welcome to Puerto Piramides. What a location for a little town, hey? Wow. And one entrance is just like boom, welcome. I think this is the camping. Camping. Nice. So we can just choose wherever. Okay. So just check it out. All right. Ride around and see. Wow, we must be just off the beach here. Wait, I can get out, it's okay. Okay, we won't go too much further then. Good evening guys, we made it happy and alive. In this little camp in Puerto Piramides, we've made it onto the Valdez Peninsula. Yes, we built up our camp already. And I'm preparing our dinner, cuscos, aubergine, tomato. Very nice. Yeah, we're a little bit in a rush again, arriving here, the sun's setting really fast and we need to get to bed early to get up early tomorrow to see the orcas. Fingers crossed. But it feels really good to have made it this far. I really didn't know when we left Buenos Aires, if it was possible to get here in three days. I mean, it's just under a thousand miles that we've covered in the last three days, a thousand miles. Yeah, yeah, a long way. We set a new record and then I think we even beat that record today. So it's been a crazy ride, but we really just wanted to get down here and get to the good stuff. Yes. Which is coming up tomorrow. So we did at the end 370 miles, which is about 580 kilometers. Pretty crazy. And that's it for us today. We hope you enjoyed the episode.
