 Oh my god, I think we're coming up to the beginning of Los Catacolas. 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 290 on our circumnavigation around the globe by motorcycle. This morning we had audio issues again, so I thought I'd fill you in on what we've been up to during our week in Chili's capital, Santiago. First we had some important and very expensive things to sort out, including repairing both of our drones. So 260 pounds lighter. Mavic Pro, Mavic Mini. Oh look, they give us the old gimbal, the old broken one. Very nice souvenir. There you go. And fitting Bumblebee with a new chain and sprocket set. Spending lots of money. New tires. Oh this is the rear one. And a full service ready for the next leg of our journey. Looks like a new bike. Yeah, it's a new bike. It looks like a new bike. You can go to Mars. I don't think sorted, now it's time to have fun. It was an awesome weekend in the city hanging out with our Chilean friend Andrea. We saw some giant mechanical insects and some giant statues at the museum. But it's time to hit the road again, so let me show you guys where we're heading today. We have a new map of Chile. Yes, Mapa Rutero. So this map is like split up or with the south side on one side, which we already did and I put the line already. And on this side is the north side. And today we are going to be making our way up here to Los Andes before making the climb to the nearly 4,000 meter high Paso Redentor at the border of Argentina. But then we are going to turn back around, head back down and over to the coast. The city of Santiago is home to a whopping 8 million people, 40% of the population of the entire country. Founded in 1541, it's been the capital of Chile since colonial times. Today it is a major global city and is routinely ranked one of the most competitive, safest and highest in quality of life in Latin America. But its success comes at a price. Rapid development and the presence of a large copper mine in the region contribute to widespread smog and its mountain surroundings, stunning as they are, trap in this pollution and it's become a serious public health concern with atmospheric concentrations regularly exceeding standards established by the World Health Organization. Time to get out and up into the mountains. Just stopping for a rest and a bite to eat before we head up to the pass. We're about 15 miles away. Have a look at this round. Little river. Some huge tires. Look at this. And another huge tire down there. Okay, people definitely go there to pee. That smells really bad. What have we got for a snack? I'm just fighting with the bees here at the moment. Some egg. Egg and bread. Mayonnaise. It's like an early lunch or late breakfast. Yummy. And look how good bumble bee looks. Wow. Look at those tires. Look at the hair on the back of your helmet. We were just checking the sound of the GoPro and then we realized that we couldn't see any sound waves. So we don't really know if actually anything recorded. So yeah, sorry guys. It looks like that we didn't record any audio for the morning. We didn't double check it. Yeah, I'm not really sure what happened to be honest. So we've reset it completely. We're going to plug it all back in and then see if it's any better. Yeah. Hello, hello. Testing one, two, three. Hello, hello. Testing one, two, three. We're back. Hello. That's a good thing that we checked that early enough. Otherwise we would have gone the whole day just talking loads of stuff. You guys would have heard nothing of it. Which isn't a bad thing as well I guess. That's okay. We can always fix it with a well written voicing. We had a nice little rest. And now we have about 15 miles to get up to the pass and up to the crazy Los Caracoles. And the temperature has already reached 30 degrees this morning. So I'm actually looking forward to getting up high in a bit of altitude. Before we turn around and head back into the desert. Because we decided this morning to wear these coats, even though we just bought this hot weather gear. We thought it was about time to trade in our bulky coats for something that's going to keep us a little bit cooler. A little bit more breathable. We thought oh yeah we'll be up in the mountain. It's going to be really cold so let's just wear the coats. Well now I'm sweating. But anyways absolutely stunning around here. Beautiful, beautiful high rocky cliffs covered in cactuses. Absolutely beautiful here. Brilliant. And we just need to pray that when we get to the Caracoles bends that we're not stuck behind a massive truck. Oh no, look at that. It's literally as I say it. It's like the slowest truck in the world in front of us. Oh no. Oh no. But look at this scree slope here. Oh my god amazing. I think I'll just go past the truck. Okay. It's going like mega slow. Free road again. Free sailing. But yeah look at this location here. Bloody hell. It looks epic. Oh my god I think we're coming up to the beginning of Los Caracoles. Oh my goodness. So a little bit of info about Los Caracoles. Apparently it climbs 2,400 meters. Look that guy's smiling. Yeah. He's coming down. He's like yes. I did it. Yes. And there are 29 hairpins on this road. Climbing from 800 meters to 3,200 meters above sea level. So for that reason this really is considered one of the craziest and most dangerous roads in the world. Oh my god. Oh my god. Yeah but anyway we are lucky because we're going up and then we're going down. Yeah. So we can actually ride it twice. Oh look and they named them. This one is Curva 8. Nice. Here's the 8th hairpin. Epic. Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Curva 10. Epic man. Epic. Well just look on the garden in front. Oh my god. Is that a biker enjoying himself? Nice. Oh my god look down there. Whoa cool. So that was the main main section of Switchbacks. But we still have more to go to get all the way up there. Look at that. Oh look and there's a ski lift here. Wow so they actually ski right here in the winter. That's crazy. Wow. Nice. It's not too cold just yet. No it hasn't cooled down as much as I expected it to. It's the same temperature. Beautiful road. Wow. Stunning road. I love as well that there's not a single barrier on this road. Look there's nothing at all. It's just like oh yeah mate if you fall off the cliff you're just going to keep going down and down and down. Yeah exactly. Maybe that's the safest way. Curva 26. Getting there. Yeah three more. I mean this pass goes up so high that you can actually suffer from altitude sickness at the top. Oh wow. Yeah. Oh my god we are high up now. Oh my god. And I think this might be the last bend of Los Caracoles. Yeah that's it. Yay we did it. All the hairpins conquered. Wow unbelievable rides. Yeah awesome. There's a massive hotel here. Look at this Hotel Portillo. Well look in the winter it's just snow everywhere. And loads of different ski slopes around. Wow that's crazy. So this lake is Laguna del Inca. Let's go check it out. Wow it looks so nice. And you can see like that it's it is glacier water hey. You can really see the color. It's so beautiful and look there's normally a trek you can walk around. Oh there's a swimming pool over there. Awesome. What a place. What a place. Wow absolutely awesome place. Yeah there was actually a really really epic detour. But now we head back into the right direction to make some distance. Time to head down again. Round two. Wow. Look at this. Man epic views from up here. I mean that's crazy. Yeah it looks fake a little bit hey. It looks like a Formula One track. Yes exactly. And you can still just about see some snowy peaks up over there. Beautiful. It's so unique really very unique road. And you can just see all the cars. Some are going down some are going up the trucks and cars. It's like you you you you you. So cool really cool. All right let's ride the last bit down then shall we. Let's go. Oh my god look at this. Oh no. We've reached a road block. Look how slow he's going. Wow I mean to be fair he has like a huge massive container on the back. Yeah. Goodbye. Oh look it's a place selling some snacks. So it's like 150 250 and 350. Should we share a 350. With sauce or no sauce. I mean we have mayonnaise. We're probably happy with mayonnaise no. Yeah. Sola Papa. Yeah. Gracias. Gracias. Those look amazing. Try these chocolatey thing. Look at that. There's a lot of ice and sugar on the top. But we've changed into our new outfit. That was a beautiful portion of fries and a nice little rest after conquering Los Caracoles. But guess what we just hit 16 000 miles. All right we're joining back up with the good old route of five north. This is the road that's going to take us all the way up over the next three days to Antefagasta. And this road is actually the Pan-American Highway. I saw some signs and said and we are going to be on the Pan-American Highway quite a lot over the next few months. Oh yes. Look at this. It's a cactus hedge. I don't think I've ever seen a cactus hedge before. I don't think that they exist in England. I mean now keep people out that's for sure. Look at that. A whole hedge road full of cactuses. So I just saw a sign saying that these palm trees here are called Chilean palms. And Chilean palms are actually the most southerly growing palm tree in the world. So they're actually native to this region. Looks like the perfect palm tree. It's a beautiful palm tree. Look at that. Just a couple of weeks ago we were down at the end of the world freezing cold and now we're here riding past palm trees. And being boiling hot. Anyway I think we're going to have to get used to the heat from now on. Yeah. Good evening guys. We made it. Happy in the life. Beach camp. Beach camp. Beach camp. Yes our first encounter with the Pacific Ocean and we are camping right in front of it. What an awesome result for the day. Yeah and oh my god the road was absolutely crazy. What an experience. I'm so glad that we did the detour and that we checked this road out because it's worth it. Yeah there aren't that many roads in the entire world where you can do that many twisties in one go. For now we will just cook up some dinner and enjoy the ocean and the beach and that's it from us today. At the end we did 210 miles and 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. Having some bean and soy protein wraps with some parmesan cheese and some tomato sauce. Oh my god. Oh look at the sun. It's just coming down over the ocean. We can hear the sound of the waves on the other side of these dunes. Oh pure magic.
