How to get the most out of YOUR TOUR
Border crossings, cities, travelling companions and tour companies all provide opportunities to either make or break your riding trip. Get it right and you’ll still be talking about it for years to come. While getting into an argument at a border and spending the night in a foreign jail has a certain heroic charm to it, the realities of a South American jail cell contain no charm whatsoever.
PLAN AHEAD FOR BORDERS
Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork; people at borders love paperwork, but most importantly, they love the right paperwork, filled out correctly and delivered by the right person. That much is simple enough, but you can get caught out when the process doesn’t stay the same each year. Or even at a different border into the same country during the same year. The Foreign Commonwealth Office (FCO) is the place to go to find out about border crossings – get the most up to date information you can and check again before you leave.
