 Good morning guys. We just got out of the tent and there's like a whole herd of Vaikuna right in front of us. So cute. I think they're quite interested in us as well because they're always putting their heads up and then looking at us. Every time we make a noise they're like, oh, what are they doing? And then you've got a herd of alpaca as well in the field just over here that those I think are farmed, whereas those I think are wild. Beautiful. 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. Stay number 303 on our circumnavigation around the globe by motorcycle. We're here in the Hohoi province in the far north of Argentina and we camped here last night just a couple of kilometers from this massive lagoon over that way called Laguna Pozueles where hopefully we can see a whole lot of flamingos. Yesterday's a really exciting day because we will also cross into Bolivia. Woo! Yeah, let me show you guys the route for today. So we are here and this morning we're going to be starting by riding over to Lagua Pozueles or Pozueles Lagoon before returning back on the 30 mile dirt road to the route 9 which will take us up to the border of Bolivia at Villazon and if everything goes well there we'll continue up into Bolivia to the town of Tupiza. Yes, we have a long way to go and it's already 8.30 so better hit the road. Let's go. Always a nice sound in the morning, hey? Yeah, and look, the vicunas are still hanging around next to us. Good morning, guys. We wish you an awesome day. So we camped last night just about a kilometer away from the ranger station which is at the entrance to this lagoon reserve so that we could get back here nice and early to see the flamingos. Yes! Oh yeah, remember there was some sand where we came in. Uh-oh. It's alright. Alright? Yeah. Okay. Just about. Whoa, look how many there are. Wow. Absolutely beautiful. Cool, what a scene. We don't really know where to go. I think we'll leave them to it, hey? Yeah. Bienvenidos, monumento natural laguna de los pozuelos. But we cook my love. Thank you. Now, I'm not sure if we have to check in or something before we go. I think we probably do. Registration. Okay. Perfecto. Dos personas. Dos personas. Luego, aquí, check out. Cruz al puente. Yep. 100 metros. Yes. Mano derecha. Okay. Ahí es la entrada. It's free. You can. Todo lo que quieras. Perfect, perfect. And we can take a flamingo home? No. Yeah. In English. Oh, yes. Thank you. English information, that's awesome. If you see stone, you must return. Okay, yes. Do you think it's stone today? Yes. Or four o'clock? Four o'clock. Okay, hopefully we will be in Bolivia by then. Dos caminos. Voy a mostrando en el cartel. We are here. Okay. 50 kilómetros. Habra panca. Yes. Y luego, Ruta. Nice. Yes. Laquiaca. Laquiaca. Oh, aquí. Uh-huh. Cinco kilómetros. Uh-huh. Cien eguillas. Uh-huh. Ruta, cuarenta. Uh-huh. Laquiaca. Ah, okay. Aquí, quebrada de toquero. Oh, okay. Muy bonito. Oh, okay. Okay, gracias. Gracias. Which is gracias? Okay, retorno aquí, después. Okay, okay. So now we have a bit of a decision to make after the lagoon because we didn't even know there was a second way to get to the Bolivian border. But the ranger there, she said that it's a really beautiful canyon area. The way is as well shorter, so we will end up actually next to the border. In 65 kilómetros. Exactly. As opposed to 120 kilómetros. Exactly. If you go the other way, but 70 kilómetros of that are paved roads. Yes. Yes, it's always 50-50. And it was raining in the night. So, yeah. But if you take this road as an example. Yeah. It was raining and you can't really see, you know. It's true. There's no puddles. There's no mud. It looks absolutely fine. Yeah, I think our decision is made. Uh-oh. You think we're gonna take the longer dirt road? Yeah, I think so. Got a whole herd of alpaca over there. The sheep of Argentina. Look, you've got a whole bunch of sheep on this side. And a whole bunch of alpaca on this side. That looks so cute. Yeah, though, look at this. And they've all got like red tassels on their ears. Oh, there's some very little, little, little ones as well. Oh my God, how pretty and cute they are. They are so beautiful. So cute. Okay, so this gate, it looks like we do need to actually open. Okay. Even the sheep have red tassels on their ears. All right. Whoa, that dog was coming close to us. Hey, maybe he was just coming to say hello, but you never know with sheep herding dogs. Yeah, you never know how they're gonna be. So let's not go over and say hi. Let's not. Bye-bye, Bumblebee. Bye, Bumblebee. We see you on a bird. Don't talk to strangers. So that's as far as we can go with Bumblebee. So now we've got about one kilometer to head over to the lake to see the flamingos. There's so many flamingo here. Wow, look at this. I think we were a little bit too excited at the start and a whole load of them just flew away. They were like, no, I'm out guys. Look at the ground. It's covered in all of this like slimy algae, which I think is what the flamingos are feeding on. Wow, this lake is just full of birds and you can hear the birds sounds everywhere. It's so incredible. I think this is probably about as far as we can go actually. After this it just gets muddier and muddier. And we forgot our swimming costumes. Incredible though, incredible. You can see the lagoon stretches like way off into the distance and there's just flamingos and other birds just absolutely everywhere here. This is like David Attenborough stuff right here. This is like pure documentary style. So this lagoon, the Pozzuella Lagoon, actually fluctuates massively between the wet and dry seasons. In the dry season it's around 100 hectares at the least, but during the wet season it grows to 15,000 hectares. And this place is home to 100,000 flamingos, which is absolutely crazy. I can't even imagine that many flamingos, but they're here, they're in this lagoon. So this area is known as the Puna and it's actually a UNESCO biosphere reserve. And in 1981 it was declared a natural monument. So it's an incredibly important place for bird species. There's not just flamingos here. You've got plovers, you've got lapwings. I don't know any other species, but they've got a lot of birds here. Look at all the footprints. There's just thousands of thousands of thousands of flamingo footprints everywhere in the mud. So sweet. I don't think that we are very professional birdwatchers because every time when we get too close they're just flying off and we don't have pinoculars to observe them from a distance. So, at least I got a really cool shot of them all flying off. That's about the best we can get. But anyway, we don't want to disturb them too much. So we will head back to Bumblebee and see how she's doing. Goodbye 100,000 flamingos. Goodbye, guys. We wish you the best life. I don't know what's going on here, but apparently there's a rule underneath the animals that this one here is the toilet. No way, guys. We just saw the Vaikunas standing on the poo pile, making poo. They know the rules. What is he doing now? I think he's gonna go poop. Look, look, look. There you go. That's so funny. That's really, really funny. Pooping on the poo pile. Not the next one going. No way. Yeah. Well, there we go. Now you know, hey? The Vaikunas, they take it in turns and they all poop on a poo island. This year's right where we left Flamingo watching over. It's time for breakfast. So for breakfast, we made like a mix of granola, vanilla granola with like chocolate flakes to make it like extra tasty. It's a nice mix. What are you guys doing? Oh my Lord. Don't worry, we're going this way. Hi. Gracias, much as gracias. What an awesome place to visit in the morning. Wow. Yeah, a nature spectacle. Yeah, that was amazing. Crazy, we were the only ones there for the whole time so we could enjoy the lagoon all to ourselves. Yeah, it was really, really cool to see all these flamingos and all these other birds doing whatever they do. It's just so nice to see wildlife. And I read on the board actually that there's three species of flamingos that live in the lagoon and one of the species, the Andean flamingo, this lagoon has 47% of the global population and apparently there's more than 60 species of birds that call that place home so you can really see why it's a biosphere reserve, recognized by UNESCO. Yeah, wildlife documentary style. Yes. So now we have our 50 miles of dirt road to take on before we get to the border to Bolivia at a town called Villazon. So far, the road looks actually all right. I mean, it's a lot of corrugation which is always a little bit annoying. Like, ugh. Yeah. But okay, let's see how it will develop because apparently a little bit later on there's a storm coming as well. Just like the last three days in a row we always, always seem to be fighting against time because a storm is coming. Yeah, not the winter, the storm is coming. Where is this person walking to? I don't know. Hola. Hola. Look at this Herdo house right in the middle of nowhere. Wow. What a place to live. Incredible. And you can see this one is actually traditionally built as well with like mud bricks and a store roof. Oh, some more Vaikunas next to the road and they love it here. Yeah, there must have so many here, so many. Oh, got a little bit of a puddle. No, I think it's okay. Let me just see where I'm gonna go. It looks all pretty. I think I'll just go on the edge here and just walk you through. It's okay. Yeah? Yep. Okay. Aha. So look here. Oh my God. Okay. I'm stuck. Okay, if you give me a push, ready? Three, two, one, go. Oh, nearly there. Three, two, one, go. Wait, three, two, one, go. Yes. Yeah, it looks like the rains have created these like little rivers across the road. Mud puddles. I hope there are not too many of them coming. Ooh, okay. Wow, yeah, it looks like a overflow here actually on the right. Yeah, there's been a lot of rain recently, so there's definitely a lot of water around. Oh, look, it's a school here. Oh, wow. A school for humans or for llamas? A llama school. Because I can barely see any people but I can see a whole lot of llamas. Oh, that's cool. I really wonder how many kids are at that school though. Yeah, me too. I really wonder. Yeah, it's a bit drier here. Nice. Speed is on. We said that we either wanted to find a room into Pisa, which had either a free breakfast or a pool. Yes. Because I don't think we can afford both at the same time, but we might just be able to afford one or the other. So we'll see. We're just coming into a small town here called Ciengías or llamas. Llamas. Or Ciengías in Argentinian, Spanish. Apparently they have free Wi-Fi here. I read on iOverlander. That's super weird. So we will check out some spots here and see if we can get some internet. Yeah, because we've got to try to look ahead and see what rooms are available into Pisa. Yes. With a pool or breakfast. Or both. Oh, nice. Look, got some traditional mud brick buildings. Yeah, it looks like a really quaint place. There's a little barrier here. Okay. Can't go here? Can't go here apparently.
