 Oh my god, we just went into this pool of water and it's like a huge huge ditch 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 3 here in South America I thought we had to go over here and check this out. Look at this They built some statues Oh, hold on, there might be some metal on the ground here Oh, there's a lot of nails, hey? We wanted to take a picture with the other bumblebee, the Transformers bumblebee Got to do a circle and hope that we don't get a flat tire Whoa, there's so much metal rubbish out here Oh my goodness, look at this It's just bits of metal everywhere Go this way and hope for the best Enough stops, now it's time to visit the salt flats Oh, here we go Some dogs, as usual Oh my lord, the whole neighborhood of dogs is coming for us now Have you looked at this road? What is this? It's like an off-road obstacle course Oh my god, we just went into this pool of water And it's like a huge, huge ditch We couldn't even see it, but it's a huge ditch And then the whole bike just went all the way off to the side Oh man, I could have gotten out of that It's a shame Damn it Okay, I'll tell you what we'll do Let's just take off the tank bag and the rear box and then we'll do it Easy, okay Ready? One, two, three All right Three, two, one Perfecto Which is gracias Okay Fell over right in the middle of the crossroads This really high altitude So it's really hard to breathe And exert any energy All right, let's get out of these crossroads Asap Well, that tired me out so much Well, we were just saying like how bad the road was I don't know, I lost concentration a bit Went into the puddle And the puddle was massively deep and it just shocked me And I didn't have enough speed And then the whole thing just went bloop So we finally made it out of a uni And although the salt flat is named after a uni The actual entrance, or like the main entrance to the salt flats Is actually about 10 miles up So that's where we're heading right now All right, we've arrived in Colciani And this is pretty much the entrance here Towards the salt lakes I'm so excited to see the salt lakes Woo Oh yes This is the moment of truth Find out if we can ride on it or not Uh-oh I know Oh, how cool So they've got a little building here made out of salt And they've got this car which I think was a car But it's completely covered in salt Wow, how cool, look at this, it's absolutely crazy They've completely covered this car in salt Oh-ho-ho Do you think there's a car underneath? I don't know And here is a salt llama That's pretty cool Over here some salt flamingos Are these ones salt? No, these aren't salt Uh-huh The bricks for this house are salt Salt bricks, look, look, look Whoa, wow, that's so cool That's amazing Yeah, look, here's a salt brick here It's not that heavy, but it's heavy as a concrete brick It's actually made of solid salt Wow, that's so cool Okay, look at this getting to the end of the road now Wow Oh my God, we are right out in front of the salt flats now Look at this Whoa What a place Magical Absolutely magical But my God, that's so wet It's not dry at all, is it? No Okay, let's go and have a look Yeah Wow, look at the ground, it's full of salt Oh my God, it's that cool Oh, it looks so magical Oh my God, it looks absolutely amazing Whoa Oh no Oh no It's definitely not dry, unfortunately Oh my Lord Man, look, that looks super deep there I think there's one hole Okay, we're just gonna go down to the end of this little road here I can see some cars there venturing out into the lake But oh my God, it looks deep Yeah, it looks very deep, actually It does, it does It looks way too deep, I think, for us But we're gonna go to the end here And we're gonna have a look and see if we can edge out or not Yes Because I would really love to ride on this lake But, man, I don't know Okay, let's stop here and take a look Yeah Wow Wow What a place Oh no, look at this Yeah, there is no chance that we can ride on that Look, this is at least that deep And we can't navigate through this No way I think we have to put this on our bucket list To come back, hey, is that on it? Yes Yeah, I don't think we're gonna be riding on it today But anyway, let's take off our boots Yes And we can at least walk in it, can't we? Definitely That is salty, hey Wow Nice, look at this I kind of want to have a salty bath in here I think you could probably lie down in it if you wanted to Let's walk to this island Yes, Salt Island Cool You're on a Salt Island Nice Well, what a place What a place to visit Incredible We've been waiting so long to see this place to be here There's some other bikers here I want to see if they're gonna ride on the lake or not Oh my God No, this car is like Like deep, deep in That's like a big 4x4 Bye-bye Bye-bye You? Salah? No? No So as you'd imagine This is the world's largest salt flat, Salah Uyuni And we're at an elevation here of 3,656 meters above sea level And what's absolutely crazy about this is Despite the fact that it's 80 miles across It only variates by about 1 meter at the most at any point So it's a really, really, really flat place So during the dry season of course This is all totally dry and you can ride on it And you can go wherever you like But of course this is the wet season here The rainy season in Bolivia So effectively this is the world's largest mirror This used to be basically a giant prehistoric lake 40,000 years ago But that all evaporated And basically left the salt flats So the name Salah Uyuni Well Salah is a salt flat And Uyuni means pen or enclosure And they're not exactly sure why it's called Uyuni But they think that maybe it's because of the salt And the enclosed islands that are out on the salt flats here So you can see that there really isn't a lot of life here In fact there's absolutely no life here But in November This place becomes the breeding ground for flamingos And other bird species So if you come here in the right season You can see wildlife So the indigenous people here are called the Aymara And they actually have a legend about how the Salah formed Basically there's three deities Tanupa, Cusco and Cusina And these are actually three big mountains that surround the Salah Now the legend is that Tanupa married Cusco But Cusco ran off with Cusina So Tanupa was really sad And she was crying whilst breastfeeding her son So her tears mixed with the milk And formed the Salah There you go A little bit of legend Wow look at this how much salt I have on my leg Look Oh my god I will save some for later Or potatoes Oh yeah Alright it's time to say goodbye To the uni salt flats The uni salt puddle Goodbye big puddle It's a beautiful place Just the wrong time So I know we didn't go out onto the salt flats But it's still going to be a really good idea for us to wash the bike now Just because there was still a lot of salt spray And we don't know where that's gotten to So they have a few washing like auto washing places in this little town So we're going to go there and get Bumblebee nice and clean Yes Because anyway Bumblebee was super super dirty Over all of this rainy muddy roads that we've been on Plus we basically dropped her in a mud puddle early on today So anyway Bumblebee is due for a clean So let's go make that happen Just 5 minutes No problem Tata Yes Bumblebee is all cleaned up Nice That's a good feeling Get all the mud off, get all the salt off Hello So now we have actually an awesome surprise for you guys Because we're about to meet some other overlanders So we just got message that they have arrived here in town So I imagine they've gone back down to the salt area So we'll go find them down there So they're called Bridget and Kiva And actually it's amazing because Bridget is going for a Guinness World Record herself So as we're going for youngest pair to circumnavigate the globe by motorcycle Bridget is going for youngest woman to circumnavigate the globe by motorcycle How awesome is that? She started her journey up in the US And now she's come all the way down And we've been monitoring her progress and keeping in touch And now we've ended up in the same place She's on her way down, we're on her way up So we're going to go meet them now Yeah, pretty awesome Okay, so we've arrived back at the Salara Uni And let's see if we can see them anywhere I mean, they might have actually gone out onto the salt flats We don't even know Yeah, it's true Where are they gone? Where are they gone? Where have they gone? Maybe around here? Oh, you can see some bikes there Is this one their bike? Yeah, where are the girls? I don't know I can see their bikes But they're their bikes, yeah? Yeah, I think so Yeah, this is their bikes Ah, they're over there Well, we'll just park up here then Cool, look at these bikes Kawasaki versus Bridget's bike Kiva's bike And they're over there So we're still here at the Salt Lake And it's getting a little bit closer to the sunset But we're trying to decide if we want to actually camp here Next to the Salt Lake Or if we go to a space on Ioverlanda Which is about 20 minutes ride away Because Bridget and Kiva are saying That they actually want to ride on the Salt Lake tomorrow In the morning So we're like debating whether we do the same thing What? Cool, that's really nice She got me one too Okay, okay, the lava deal This one was 10 and these bring us this flavoring This beautiful flavoring for our chips Yeah, because originally Lavi said Oh, do you have any salt to this lady here? It's like we're in like the largest salt flight in the world 10 billion tons of it So anyway, we've got chips with Uyuni salt Nice Sunset over the lake, hey? Cool Okay, so after some chips We've decided that we're actually going to stay right here So we're actually going to be just making a bit of a wall against the wind Because there's actually a storm over there in the distance So we're just hoping that that doesn't come this way And also hoping that it doesn't make the salt flat The salt lake's more flooded and the water coming over here We're quite close to the edge but Let's hope for the best So anyway, we're going to put all our bikes here We're going to put our tents here And that's going to be our camp for the night Exactly Motorcycle party Motorcycle party I'm putting Lavi and Oli in the friends section Yes There we go Beautiful Super crazy at the moment So on the salt flats where we wanted to camp The water's coming actually up And now we had to move our tents away So we found like a little bit of an island here Where we just set up our tents now And now we have just to move the bikes over That they are not floating away tomorrow Yeah, it's try number two for the camp Successful and the wind has died down a little bit Yeah, it's very cozy now Really really cozy neighbors right here Look at this And there's still people heading out into the water on the salt flats I don't know where they're going out here but Yeah, it's absolutely crazy because it's completely dark But we've got an amazing starry night tonight And let's hope the storm doesn't hit us And we're in the perfect place to get a nice sunrise Over the salt lakes It's going to be absolutely awesome tomorrow I'm really excited for that And maybe we're actually going to go for a ride out on the salt lake We'll see Yes, so that's it from us today We hope you enjoyed the video If so please give us a thumbs up Subscribe to the channel Share the video with your friends and family Comment below and we will see you next time
