  • In this motovlog, while traveling South America, I ride to the Mano Del Desierto, or Hand of the Desert in Norhtern Chile. Getting to this spot, made me reflect on the years of hoping to do a trip like this, and what it took to make that happen.
    I'm riding my Honda CRF250L Rally on a tour of South America on my way south the ride to Argentina.
    About Me:
    I am a motovlogger out of Portland, OR who does scenic rides and vlogs about the ride and the places I visit. I do motorcycle trips, adventure riding and moto camping along with day rides to scenic and memorable destinations on some of the best motorcycle roads in the country. I'm currently doing a multi year long ride from the US to the southern tip of South America and beyond, on a Honda CRF250 Rally.

      Yes. I hope if someone who doesn't know me watches, the thing they take away, is that what seems impossible today, may just be a matter of time for it to be the right time.

    Well done getting there and ticking that off your list.
    There's a lot more to be said about the Pinochet dictatorship but perhaps that's for a different time
    Although I don't think that was the intent of the sculpture, visitors are free to interpret it as they wish

      Ya, art is funny. I didn't think about that while I was there, I only added that after the fact when I looked into it. Multiple places mention it and interviews from the artist about it.
