La Unión - Pasó de Yanashallash - Glaciar de Pastoruri | 74 km | +2.350 m

Walk away quietly in any direction and taste the freedom of the mountaineer. Camp out among the grasses and gentians of glacial meadows, in craggy garden nooks full of nature's darlings. Climb the mountains and get their good tidings, Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. As age comes on, one source of enjoyment after another is closed, but nature's sources never fail. - John Muir

I spend the night on the way to the Pastoruri glacier at the height of the Paso de Yanashallash at 4,700 metres. With my improvised cooker made from a tin can and Ron a Quemar, we have half-cooked pasta - a real 5-star meal after the altitude metres.

I set off at sunrise the next day - alone with the snow-covered peaks of the Cordillera Blanca.

I let the majestic peaks carry me through the thin air - until I notice a recurring clack. I stop. I notice that my rear rim is starting to crack. There is probably not a soul on the route to the glacier. No alternative - we have to go on. The rim holds.

Shortly before I reach the Pastoruri glacier, another obstacle: a herd of cows with 4 handsome black bulls block the narrow path that winds along the mountain range. After a muesli bar and a cigarette, I start throwing stones from higher rocks in the direction of the musclemen, I don't feel like hand-to-hand combat, I don't think my martial arts skills are trained enough for that.

The bulls give way & with dusk I reach the glacier, which - before the tourist buses arrive the next morning - I have all to myself.

Huancayo - Junin - Cerro de Pasco | 270 km | +2.600 m

Between thunder and sun
Humans opening nature’s veins
For society’s fun

Flamingos enjoying the lagoon’s breeze
I roll and roll
And in the night together with the sheep I freeze

Glances.

Alone on the bike, one's own protective zone is always quite fragile. While the earth flows under my tyres, my own head is the daily scene of an emotional rollercoaster that reacts to internal and external influences like a finely tuned echo sounder. Smells, colours, rain and wind, cities and landscapes meet one's own reserves of strength and emotion and make the emotional merry-go-round whirl constantly.

And then there are the glances. One's own: curious, open, exhausted, searching, always realigning.

And the looks of others:
Sometimes:
Irritated, tired, strained, apathetic, dismissive, cold.

And then there is this look, like a campfire. That signals: "You may rest here. Don't be afraid. You are safe here."

Looks like a warm stew in winter - this is home.

On my way north from Patagonia, I have experienced the great fortune of being met time and again by one of the latter looks. And even after my cooker let me down on the way to the mountains, it was these looks that sprouted happiness again from brief frustration. Glances like those of Gloria Cenaida from Moya (📸 1-4), Delao from Laguna Jahuacocha (📸 5), Abel from Huancayo (📸 6-8) or Tito from Vicco (📸9-10).

In the end, one thought: humankind is good.

One thing I have learned on the many kilometres since I started my journey is: It is not skill or talent that makes up the bulk of the daily kilometres, but above all determination.

The altitude, the rain and moments of exhaustion - what kept me going in these situations was 95% my head and not my legs.

It's all the nicer when you meet people with a similar mindset along the way - like Octa in Abancay, who started building his Casa del Arbol from childhood, a crazy labyrinth of ladders, levels, sleeping facilities, kitchenettes, collected treasures.

And with his bubbling energy, he not only tries to develop his own life every day - all the children in the neighbourhood know him for his helpfulness, the mountains around Abancay as a mountain guide.

Day 102 & 103 | Conima

At sunset I reach the small village of Conima on the northern shore of Lake Titicaca. Actually, I had planned to camp on the beach there.

Though, when I arrive, the average alcohol level on the village square is already well advanced. On the weekend the village celebrates its birthday - and for the next day a big Sikuris competition is planned on the beach. My overnight plans thus fall through.

Fortunately, I meet Armando, whose cousin owns a small hospedaje where I can stay for the night. He invites me to have breakfast together the next morning. On this occasion he introduces me to half of the village - and also to one of the groups participating in the competition.

Since my panpipe skills prove to be limited, I am chosen to carry the banner of the group at the competition. Probably a better idea than to let me participate with pan flute in the competition - in the end we reach the third place and spend the afternoon chewing coca and with plenty of beer and Chicha.

Day 97 - 99 | La Paz - Tihuanacu - Desaguadero - Copacabana | 152 km, +1.000 m

And again it is time to say goodbye, as my girlfriend heads back to Germany after two spending two wonderful weeks in La Paz and its beautiful surroundings.

I pack my things, after a short, steep climb through the streets of La Paz I meet up with Melanie & Fabien (), whom I have already met on Isla Incahuasi in the Salar de Uyuni.

Together we load the bikes into the cable car gondola - there's no better way to fly with your bike🤩 Together we head towards the ruins of Tiwanacu, which we visit the following day.

With the sun god on our side, the bikes carry us to the edge of Lago Titicaca in the early afternoon. After Fabien had to patch his tire twice on the last meters, we reach the border to Peru in Desaguadero in the early evening. Conflicting information will force us to return once again by cab the following day, after we find the border station closed in Kasani after less than 24 hours in Peru.

The mantra remains: there's always a solution. With exit stamps from Desaguadero we cross the border in the early afternoon and to celebrate the day we have a sunset beer in Copacabana with a view of Lago Titicaca.

La Paz, Conoriri Mountains & Madidi National Park | Half Time Break

While my bike is allowed to rest for two weeks, I am curious about La Paz and the surrounding area. Together with my girlfriend from Berlin, we explore the bustling metropolis, nestled in the surrounding mountains, the fantastic gastro scene, the Altiplano and open up the Amazon basin by boat. From 5,350 m to 274 m and back to over 3,000 m.

After almost 3 months in the saddle, I can once properly charge the personal battery here.

…

La Paz & Conoriri-Gebirge & Nationalpark Madidi | | Halbzeitpause

Während mein Rad sich für zwei Wochen ausruhen darf, bin ich neugierig auf La Paz und Umland. Gemeinsam mit meiner Freundin aus Berlin erkunden wir die wuselnde Metropole, geborgen im Nest der umliegenden Berge, die fantastische Gastro-Szene, das Altiplano und erschließen uns per Boot das Amazonas-Becken. Von 5.350 m auf 274 m und zurück auf über 3.000 m.

Nach fast 3 Monaten im Sattel kann ich hier einmal den persönlichen Akku richtig laden.

As the saying goes: the will can move mountains. Or climb them.

So far, the altitude meters have been as much as 11.26198514517218 Zugspitzen (Germany's highest mountain).

You want to move mountains too? With a donation to you support the mobility of people in rural developing regions in the form of bicycles and help remove barriers to personal, social or economic development.

…

Wie sagt man so schön: der Wille kann Berge versetzen. Oder erklettern.

Bisher waren das an Höhenmetern so viel wie 11,26198514517218 Zugspitzen (Deutschlands höchstem Berg).

Du willst auch Berge versetzen? Mit einer Spende an World Bicycle Relief unterstützt du die Mobilität von Menschen in ländlichen Entwicklungsregionen in Form von Fahrrädern und hilfst dabei Barrieren für persönliche, soziale oder wirtschaftliche Entwicklung abzubauen.

Over 3,000 km, over mountains and gravel/sand/rock roads, through the Patagonian rain and wind, through larchy land and lush nature, between pure happiness and frustration, blessed with hospitality and always wary of the dogs, with the open sky as a bedspread, lakes and rivers as a tap and grateful and fulfilled to make this incredible journey a reality.

Being halfway through my journey, cycling through the glacier landscapes of Patagonia and the Bolivian Altiplano, I've noticed time and again that everywhere, in villages and cities, bicycles help people in precarious situations to be mobile. Whether as a converted sales stall, a means of transport in a remote village or for the long way to work in the city.

Help me work with to give more people access to their own bicycle!

You can find the link to the donation page in my bio!

…

Über 3.000 km, über Berge und Schotter-/Sand-/Steinpisten, durch den patagonischen Regen und Wind, durch larges Land und üppige Natur, zwischen purem Glück und Frustration, gesegnet mit Gastfreundschaft und stets auf der Hut vor den Hunden, mit dem offenen Himmel als Bettdecke, Seen und Flüssen als Wasserhahn und dankbar und erfüllt, diese unglaubliche Reise Wirklichkeit werden zu lassen.

Auf halber Strecke meiner Reise durch die Gletscherlandschaften Patagoniens und das bolivianische Altiplano ist mir immer wieder aufgefallen, dass überall, in Dörfern und Städten, Fahrräder Menschen in prekären Situationen helfen, mobil zu sein. Ob als umgebauter Verkaufsstand, als Transportmittel in einem abgelegenen Dorf oder für den langen Weg zur Arbeit in der Stadt.

Hilf mir, gemeinsam mit World Bicycle Relief mehr Menschen den Zugang zu einem eigenen Fahrrad zu ermöglichen! Den Link zur Spendenseite findest du in meiner Bio!

Day 78 - 80 | Uyuni - Salar de Uyuni - Isla Incahuasi - Salinas de Garci Mendoza | Part 2

After spending the first night in the middle of the salar, the alarm clock rings early in the morning. Then: endless silence. Nothing but the crunch of footsteps on the salt. The gaze wanders into the distance as the rising sun transforms this hostile world into a breathtaking play of colours.

Filled with the feeling of experiencing a unique moment, we set off towards Isla Incahuasi, an island in the middle of the salar, where we want to spend our lunch break and seek refuge from the blazing midday sun. On the way, however, we take a moment for the obligatory naked photo session - a tradition among bicycle travellers.

Shortly after our arrival on the island, Alice, Manu, Melanie and Fabien () from France - also cycling - reach this little oasis.

Without further ado, we decide to end the day on the island with Noé and celebrate our farewell after two months of travelling together. While for me the journey will continue in a northerly direction, Noé is planning his return to France from Chile and is therefore taking a route towards San Pedro de Atacama.

Thank you for an incredible time, dear - the humour in the never-ending Patagonian rain, shared summit ci******es and culinary masterpieces. See you in Berlin!
