hi
I’m planning a 10-month trip to South America, and I’m looking into options for shipping a motorcycle to Buenos Aires by air or sea. If anyone has any info, thanks in advance!

Shipping a motorcycle to Buenos Aires by air or sea?
by Laroche1948
Translated into English.
So if you want to save money...
1 you ship it by boat 2 you don’t ship it to Buenos Aires...
You can check out the English forum Horizons Unlimited, which will be more up-to-date than my site, but basically, it’ll cost you less to ship it to Puerto Natales or Punta Arenas (free port) in Chile than to get it out of Buenos Aires...

Hi,
my experience from late 2007:
- shipping by boat (wooden crate treated in container) from Lyon, arrival in Buenos Aires, customs clearance fees, unpacking, port taxes... 2000 € all in!
- return from Buenos Aires (boat) to Dieppe and Lyon... all in... roughly the same price.
In both cases, I dropped my bike off at the packer’s and picked it up from him; everything else was handled by the various parties involved... and there are a lot of them... hence the prices...
This vehicle shipping option only makes sense for a long stay.
PS: Don’t forget the customs carnet (and a deposit of at least 2300 €) if you’re traveling through multiple countries (for bikes over 125cc).
Good luck.

For the crate, a simple way is to go to a dealership and ask them to keep a crate when they receive a motorcycle—it costs nothing except the gas to pick it up. (In total, it cost me something like $800.)
As for the customs carnet, personally, I’ve never been asked for it (the bike has been here since 2007, and I cross borders every 8 months), but so far, I’ve only been to Uruguay, Chile, and Argentina. For other countries, no idea...

hi
we’re planning a trip to South America with our motorcycles for August–December 2012.
Air freight is super convenient—quick and straightforward—but the price put us off. For one round-trip bike, it was around 6,000 € with a German freight forwarder. Now we’re getting quotes for sea freight, which takes about 20 days (±8 days), with a forwarder handling pickup near our home. It’s about 5,000 € round-trip for two bikes. Just FYI—when are you thinking of leaving?

Hi,
Make sure to ask what fees you'll have to pay in Argentina...
From what I understood, you're looking at around $1000 per motorcycle—maybe it's more interesting to ship it to Montevideo (3.5 hours by boat from Buenos Aires).

Hi
We're prepping for the trip and are deep in the jungle of customs formalities—your site’s advice has been a huge help, thanks for being so thorough! We managed to get 2 metal boxes for transporting the motorcycles from a dealer. Question: are the fees the same for air freight? The quote usually includes the fees, but I’ll double-check the breakdown of customs clearance costs. We’ll also have storage fees for the boxes until we return.
Actually, we’re leaving for 4 months, riding our 2 BMW 650 GSs across the Andes and Patagonia—Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Chile, Tierra del Fuego, then back through eastern Argentina. Transport is a major issue we need to sort out.

I think in the case of air freight, the airport exit taxes are lower. At the port, they charge you for opening the container, removing the crate from the container, putting it in the depot, and taking it out of the depot (steps you wouldn’t have with air freight), BUT this is just an assumption.
If I remember correctly, the carrier I used was part of the GRIMANDI group. I’ll try to find the email from the company that gave me the paperwork here, since they’re probably the ones you’ll need to ask about the fees. I doubt the folks in France will know much about it.

Hi,
if it helps:
at the end of 2007 and for the return in January 2008 (250cc Ducati single-cylinder bike, in a 4m³ treated wooden crate), I used the services of the freight forwarder SDV (part of the Bolloré Group). They have an office in Lyon and also in Buenos Aires (downtown) (and in Lima too). The person in charge in BA was French.
I was very satisfied with their services. They work with a "customs broker" ("despachante de aduanas") who was also very competent and friendly.
Here are a few email addresses:
In Lyon: py.jongit@sdv.com
In BA: A.Vezins@sdvargentina.com.ar (Ms. De Vesins)
The customs broker:
Nestor Scuncia
argvanlines@fibertel.com.ar
Good luck! ThéoApurimac
Good luck! ThéoApurimac
Thanks for this info—I’ll get in touch with your freight forwarder. The fact that the person is French is helpful since my Spanish is just okay. Was your transport by air or sea? We’ve got metal pallets used by dealerships, so no need for treated wood. I’ve requested a quote from Bagages du Monde; the price is a bit high, but it seems like they handle everything. We’ll see. What was your route like? As for self-sufficiency, no major issues with the pumps? Any mechanical problems or flat tires? Someone suggested putting an anti-puncture product (Restom) in the tires—what do you think?
Buenas noches.
Hey
In terms of range, it really depends on where you're going... In the south, you can easily have 200 to 300 km without passing through a town (Route 40 between El Chaltén and Río Mayo, for example), or even more if you cross the Andes near Fiambalá (560 km with nothing except customs, which has absolutely nothing to sell).
For flat tires, a puncture repair kit might be useful, but if I remember correctly, the 650GS comes with inner tubes, so it's not recommended because it can stick the inner tube to the tire. I took 2 spare inner tubes (front/rear) and had to remove the tire 3 or 4 times. It really depends on the roads you take.
When you get here, buy the big YPF guide with the maps—it’ll give you an idea of the distance between gas stations.
Also, ask your mechanic if there’s anything to do for high-altitude passes (4,000m and above), like taping an onion to the air intake of the injection system, as is done with carbureted cars.

Hi there,
I’m setting off on a 9-month motorcycle trip across South America starting October 2011.
Here’s where I stand logistically:
- I ruled out air shipping because it’s too expensive.
- I decided to ship the bike to Montevideo—apparently it’s quieter than B.A., even if not necessarily cheaper.
- I chose a freight forwarder, **Partnair Sea** in Toulouse, to handle the bike from Marseille.
- I had a NIMP15-compliant crate made in Toulouse (380 €), then transported it disassembled to Marseille (photo), along with the bike on a trailer.
- The shipping cost from Marseille to Montevideo is 700 €.
- The bike is currently at sea on the **MSC Soraya** cargo ship and arrives on 10/12.
- I’ll still have to pay the "unloading fees," which will be a surprise.
Hope this info helps! I’ll know a lot more in two weeks… to be continued…

Hi
If you could post the fees they charge when you pick up the motorcycle in Montevideo, that would be really helpful for me to see if I should ship my next bike via Uruguay instead of Buenos Aires.
PS: To bring the motorcycle from Montevideo to Buenos Aires, there’s the Buquebus company that transports people and vehicles (kind of like the ferries to Corsica).

hi there
after prepping for a 6-month trip across South America, here’s some info I gathered from English-language sites: - no obligation for a carnet de passage at customs, though it does make border crossings smoother - however, Brazil requires one if you’re entering by any means other than overland - Brazilian ports seem pricey, so Buenos Aires is the better bet—get help or lodging from Dakar Moto if needed - overall, air freight prices (AF/KLM, where everything’s upfront) and sea freight (which always has surprises) tend to even out - it’s always useful and cost-effective to go directly to air freight companies, since motorcycle travel dreams "lend themselves to sharing" - no matter the bike, if it’s knocking, don’t hesitate to drain the fuel and refill with fresh—fuel mixes are a local specialty - several countries let you leave the vehicle behind, Uruguay in particular
safe travels and watch the road! Yves

Hi there,
Thanks for the info. So far, I’ve got several quotes, all around 2300 € (for 2 motorcycles) including home pickup via Le Havre, unloading fees, and customs duties and taxes. We managed to get some crates from a dealer (Suzuki, for info), but since they’re not enclosed, it’s not ideal. We also have a quote for cardboard crates/pallets from
www.sofrapack.com, 300 € ex-VAT per bike. Two bikes add up fast :/ We’ll see...
For freight, I’m waiting on a quote from Germany—they offer round-trip service, an agent on-site to store the crates, and assistance with customs. Based on what we’ve read about the customs carnet, I think we’ll end up skipping it. The deposit for 2 bikes is pretty steep. Your 9-month trip sounds awesome! :cool: We’re leaving for 4 months, so by the time you’re back, we’ll be getting ready to go. For now, we’re just starting the prep: bikes, itinerary, paperwork, etc...
Keep us posted on the bike’s arrival at the port, the fees, any challenges...
In the meantime, *buen viaje*, buena suerte! !

Hi there,
Here’s an update—sorry it’s a bit late, but I hope it’s detailed enough.
My motorcycle arrived on 10/14. Right away, my shipper (ECULINE-Partnair Sea from Montevideo) asked for 400 USD in fees and various taxes.
On 10/17, they gave me the paperwork to go to customs. Customs just handed me a phone number and the address of a guy who handles ‘everything’ to get the bike out. This guy’s an independent agent, really nice, and he explained I’d have to pay 48 USD in taxes + 160 USD in storage fees (I only got the bike on 10/19, even though I’d been there for a week) + 450 USD in ‘country taxes’—aka his commission. I asked for an official receipt, and he said that’d add 20% in taxes. He made it clear I could choose another agent. Meanwhile, I met two Swiss guys with the same issues, and it was even pricier for them. This agent wasn’t cheap, but he was better than others. So, he took me to the port and handled all the steps to free the bike from the warehouse and its crate (which I left at the depot). Then, I had to pay a 500 USD ‘deposit’—the real port fees, with the matching invoice. After that, I was ‘free.’
About insurance: with a foreign license plate, Uruguayan companies only cover you within the country. So, I had to make a round trip to Buenos Aires to get insured for 6 months, covering Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Brazil, Peru, and Bolivia for 200 USD with Mercantil Andina.
One last thing: you can’t just leave Uruguay on a whim with your bike. You have to tell the ‘agent’ in advance which border you’re crossing and when, so they can handle the paperwork with customs (it’s part of the fees, but it’s legit).
Hope this isn’t too confusing. It’s a bit complicated and expensive, but I think that’s the price to pay HERE to enjoy your bike. Maybe it’s easier elsewhere...

Hi,
I’m also looking to ship my bike to Buenos Aires by boat.
The price of 5000 € round trip for 2 motorcycles is excellent.
Could you share the transporter’s address with me?
Thanks, and safe travels!

Hey, thanks for the info! I still need to understand what you meant by "several countries allow leaving the vehicle on site ??"
I’m Franco-Brazilian, and I need to ride my motorcycle back by road to avoid paying the absurd 100% import tax.
If you pass through Brazil, I live in Salvador de Bahia—my number is +55 71 9991 70 66. I’ll be there in December if my bike arrives!!!

Hi Silvi,
We’re currently riding through Argentina on the Africa Twin we shipped by boat last month. From Le Havre to Buenos Aires, the transport took 3 weeks. We used the Argentine company Blue Star Cargo, and everything went perfectly—they were super professional, and we didn’t have any bad surprises.
If you’re interested, I invite you to check out our blog. We explain in detail how we shipped our motorcycle by boat from France to Argentina. http://worldtripcenter.com/transport-moto-buenos-aires-argentine/
If you need more info, don’t hesitate! Happy preparations!

Hi Chloé, and thanks for the info.
We're still in the prep phase—kickoff is on August 9th. Can't wait to cast off! The sea freight paperwork is moving along; turns out "Bagages du Monde" works with "Blue Star Cargo," and we're relieved they've been super professional. Could you tell us how much the import tax is for a motorcycle? Did you get a customs carnet? Also, could you share the name of your insurance company for third-party liability and the approximate cost of motorcycle insurance? We're following your trip on the blog with interest.

Hi Silvi,
We’ve been on the road for about 2 months now, covering nearly 6,000 km from Buenos Aires to Mendoza, crossing the country from east to west around Trelew. My take: The Atlantic coast isn’t all that interesting for a motorcycle trip—endless straight lines, Route 3 stretching forever through the pampa, and huge distances between points of interest (Buenos Aires, Península Valdés, Ushuaia). We only really started enjoying the ride from Esquel (pre-Andes) onward. That said, this is just my personal opinion...
To answer your questions:
1) The import tax depends on the purchase value of the vehicle. In our case, it was 350 € for a ’97 Africa Twin. But don’t rely on that alone—quotes can hold plenty of surprises! Make sure you confirm the amount before arriving.
2) You don’t need a *carnet de passage* for Latin America, but the in-country formalities require patience—*a lot* of patience—and usually need help from a local agent. If you go through Blue Cargo, I don’t think you’ll run into any bad surprises.
3) For insurance, you can find third-party liability coverage with "Allianz" for around $45/month.
Happy to share more info if you need it,
P.S.: We discovered a magical spot in Mendoza province yesterday—check it out on our Argentina travel blog: http://worldtripcenter.com/...oto-argentine-andes/

Hi there, Hope your trip is going well! I was the one who originally asked about Buenos Aires, but we ended up leaving from Montreal and, after 9 months, arrived in Montevideo. Could you share details about shipping your motorcycle to Buenos Aires for friends who want to join us? Safe travels, and thanks in advance! Christian

So if you want to save money...
1 you ship it by boat 2 you don’t ship it to Buenos Aires...
You can check out the English forum Horizons Unlimited, which will be more up-to-date than my site, but basically it’ll cost you less to ship it to Puerto Natales or Punta Arenas (free port) in Chile than to get it out of Buenos Aires...

Hello everyone.
I'm looking for campsites around BOLZANO (South Tyrol) for early September.
I'll be on my motorcycle with a small tent.
I've noticed that some campsites have exorbitant prices.
If you've traveled through the Dolomites by motorcycle or otherwise and camped there, I'd love any tips on places and prices where I can stay for one night or several.
Thanks to all of you, and happy travels.
Hi everyone,
With a tourist visa, is it still tolerated in 2026 to buy and sell a small motorbike or scooter (with the green card in the previous owner’s name)?
Thanks for any recent first-hand experience! V

Hi everyone,
I’m starting to think about a trip that’s really close to my heart: Algeria by motorcycle, specifically the southern part of the country. It’d be for January 2025, and I’ve got two main questions:
Is it possible for an individual on a motorcycle to travel freely, outside of any organized tour, or does the regulation require some kind of supervision in the Algerian Sahara region?
Is the Hoggar massif accessible by road or by (rideable) tracks?
Beyond the official recommendations, I’m really looking for your firsthand experiences. Thanks so much for your answers, and sorry if my questions are a bit newbie!
Ride safe! ✌️ Didier

Hello everyone! ✌️
I just realized I’ve been registered on VoyageForum since... March 28, 2012 😊. Yet, I’ve barely participated until now.
August 1, 2026, will mark a somewhat special milestone: 5 years on the road.
We left Switzerland on August 1, 2021 with a simple idea: let chance decide our direction. We placed a bottle of wine on a world map, spun it... and it chose our first destination.
A year later, when we arrived in Morocco, we faced a new choice: continue toward Africa or head to Asia. This time, a tarot card game made the decision. Since then, we’ve tried to keep this journey as open to the unexpected as possible.
Today, that adds up to about 120,000 km, 46 countries, and over 1,800 days on the road—mostly by motorcycle, but also by sailboat, train, bus, hitchhiking, or on foot when adventure calls.
Our guiding thread isn’t just the motorcycle, but service exchanges. Instead of simply passing through countries, we try to stop regularly to lend a hand to the people we meet. So far, that’s about 600 days of volunteering.
Over the years, we’ve:
renovated a house in Croatia made earth bricks in the Moroccan desert helped sail a boat through the Greek islands looked after houses, dogs, horses, a camel... and lots of other animals worked at a street art festival in Morocco created videos for local associations and projects worked the grape harvest on the Tibetan plateau been accredited as "media" for the World Nomad Games in Central Asia
Some of the moments that have stuck with us the most include six months in China, a night spent on the Great Wall, the Pamir Highway, the Silk Road, three months in Taiwan, and the incredible encounters in the mountains of Central Asia.
We travel on Falkor, our lucky dragon—a 2014 BMW F800GS that’s been with us since the start and is starting to have some great stories of its own.
While we share our adventure on Instagram, Polarsteps, and YouTube, that’s not why we’re here. The forum’s rules about promotion are clear, and I totally get them. If I’m finally taking the time to write, it’s mostly because after five years on the road, I thought our experience might be useful to other travelers.
Happy to chat about:
preparing for a long motorcycle trip visas and borders the Silk Road and Central Asia riding in China (with or without a motorcycle) volunteering and service exchanges while traveling gear, daily life on the road... or just the unexpected moments that make long-term travel so special
Looking forward to swapping stories and hearing about your adventures too! 😊 Greetings from Thailand, and happy to chat! ✌️

Hello, I’m retired and planning a roughly 3-week motorcycle trip (1200gs). The dates aren’t set in stone yet, and everything’s open to discussion—I’m pretty flexible with the planning.
Hi there,
I’d like to ride from Mahajanga to Morondava, sticking as close to the coast as possible—using roads and tracks—in September 2026. If you’ve got any suggestions, let me know! 😉

Hi everyone,
I’m planning a motorcycle road trip to Armenia and Georgia in September 2026 or May 2027. I’m looking for one or more riders (male or female) who’d like to explore these countries with me.
Along the way, we’ll visit Cappadocia, the capitals Yerevan, Tbilisi, Sofia, Skopje, and other cities—we can finalize the route and roadbook later.
This trip requires experience with long motorcycle journeys, as we’ll cover around 7,000 km over 5 or 6 weeks (or more, depending on sightseeing and time spent).
I don’t expect dozens of applicants, since motorcycle riders are few and far between on this forum, but I’m putting this out there anyway.
See you soon

Hi, I’d like to take a 15-day "break" to get away from the surrounding hustle and bustle.
Why not explore the Peloponnese!
I’m not particularly drawn to museums, ruins, or monuments.
I want to experience local life—small villages, seaside spots, beaches, and the interior if the landscapes are extraordinary.
Ideally, coming from Athens, I’d take a bus or train to get as close as possible to a starting point, then rent a scooter (125cc) to explore by taking secondary roads or even coastal paths. I’d stay in 2-3 places for a few days each to discover their surroundings.
Do a loop.
What do you think would be the ideal itinerary?
From Athens, the best option would be to take either a flight or a bus to Kalamata. Rent a scooter and head either west or east. Is there a tertiary road (very lightly trafficked) or a path where I can ride slowly, take it easy, and enjoy the scenery without being bothered by traffic? I’d like to go all the way to Monemvasia, still hugging the coast. I need to find a way to avoid returning to Kalamata to drop off the scooter and catch a flight—maybe a small town where the train stops so I can head back to Athens.
Thanks in advance for your tips.
Hi!
I want to rent an off-road style motorcycle to get around the coast during my trip to Ecuador. I’m only finding options in Quito. Do you have any suggestions for me?

Hi there,
I’m planning a sidecar trip to South America for 4 or 5 months at the end of this year.
I’m looking for info on shipping my vehicle by sea—possibly to Uruguay or another destination, as I haven’t finalized anything yet.
How do you get visas for the countries I’ll be crossing: Uruguay, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, and Chile? Are they e-Visas, obtained at the border, or through embassies?
Where can I get vehicle insurance?
Lastly, if any bikers want to join us (my partner and me), we’re open to that possibility too.

Hi, I’m planning to head to Morocco in early May on my 1200 RT. I’ll be leaving from Dax to Kenitra—happy to ride together if anyone’s up for it!
Hey everyone,
I’ve got 15 days off in June and I’m pretty undecided about where to go for a motorcycle road trip. Two strong desires are pulling me in different directions: Corsica or Norway.
Corsica has been a dream of mine for a long time: legendary roads, stunning landscapes, a unique vibe, and the perfect mix of sea and mountains. At the same time, I’m wondering if 2 weeks might be *too much* for Corsica—risking feeling like I’ve seen it all too quickly, especially on a bike. Since I also have an extra week free in May, I could use that specifically for Corsica. Maybe splitting it into two trips would make more sense? If so, which routes or regions would be the most interesting to plan for a 7-day trip?
On the other hand, Norway is *super* appealing. The landscapes look incredible, totally different from anything I’ve experienced, and it’d be a real “wow” trip. I know 15 days is still short for such a vast country. Getting all the way to the North Cape seems pretty much impossible in that time, but I’m curious about what realistic routes could be planned.
So I’m wondering: Is it better to save Norway for next year, take 3 weeks off, and do it *properly*? Or are 15 days enough for a first amazing taste of the country?
I’d love to hear about your experiences—whether it’s Corsica (ideal duration, routes) or Norway (what’s realistic in 2 weeks on a bike). Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Hello,
I'm thinking of buying a used small motorcycle to travel around the country for a month and a half.
I've done this in other countries without putting the registration in my name—is that possible in Guinea given the apparently frequent checks, or do I have to go through the paperwork?
Thanks.
Hello,
My dream is to ride Route 66 by motorcycle. I have a disability—while I’m not in a wheelchair, my walking mobility is reduced.
The ideal scenario would be to have a motorcycle driver and ride as their passenger on an organized trip.
Are there any guides or services like this offered by travel agencies?
Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Hello,
I’ve got a plan with a friend to go on a motorcycle road trip in 2028 or 2029, starting in Santiago de Chile and ending in Ushuaia, for about a month.
Has anyone done a trip like this before, and what’s the best time of year?
I’ve heard there can be quite a bit of wind depending on the season.
Thanks for any tips!
Cheers,
PA
I'm seriously considering heading to Nepal to do some nice motorcycle loops... my goal is also to do the Kailash Yatra round trip from Kathmandu, in a small group with a guide, in May '26... but here's the thing—I'm solo! So if you're up for sharing a similar adventure, hit me up... Cheers, Frankoys
It's all in the title: I'm heading to Krabi soon and want to rent a scooter for a few weeks, but after reading comments about all kinds of scams, I'm reaching out to ask where and how (read: *the right way*) to rent one.
Thanks for your tips and advice.
Hello everyone! Like every year, a winter migration is on the horizon (revised plan): this time, it’ll be Dakar, or even Abidjan, via Morocco, Mauritania, and Senegal.
Looking for an experienced motorcyclist or pillion rider—small build preferred—on a GSA 1250 with a comfy seat and luggage setup, available from early November to late December 2025. I’d like to plan the trip together (important to me) to make sure we’re on the same wavelength.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch!

Hi everyone...
Looking for travel companions to ride from France to Senegal by motorcycle.
I’m Paul, 37, and I’ve already done a bit of riding in Morocco.
For now, I’m solo, riding a 1998 SUZUKI DR 650 with some basic gear to keep things smooth. I’ll have a tent so we can do a few nights under the stars. We’ll need to coordinate departure dates—"ideally in November."
I’m currently checking out routes to take. Any tips would be welcome! :)
Have a great day, everyone!!!!!

Hi there!
I’m heading to Vietnam and Laos with a buddy next week for a month. We’re thinking of renting motorbikes, especially to do the Ha Giang Loop. We don’t have an international license, just our Belgian one. Is that enough? If not, is it risky?
Thanks for the info! !

Hi there,
In January 2026, I’m planning a motorbike trip through northern Vietnam for 3–4 weeks.
Must-dos: Hanoi, RC4, Dien Bien Phu, and of course the must-see landscapes.

Hi everyone,
In November, we’re planning to do the Ha Giang loop and the RC4 by motorbike without a guide. 😎 We’re looking for a decent place to stay/rent in Ha Giang.
If anyone has any info, we’d be really interested.

Hello! We’re planning a motorcycle trip that will include a visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau in June 2026.
We’re unsure (still debating) whether we should stay at a hotel on-site and get to the memorial with an Uber (leaving our bikes at the hotel) and book a guided tour, or base ourselves in Kraków and take a tour that includes transport.
One thing’s for sure—we’d prefer a guide in French since we don’t speak English 😅.
Could you share your experiences or advice? I understand we need to book online rather than on-site. Thanks in advance for your replies!

Hello,
Next October we’re planning to ride the Ruta de la Plata by motorcycle—a historic Spanish route that runs from Gijón to Seville, also known as the N630.
Has anyone here already ridden it?
Unfortunately, I’m worried that parts of the N630 may have disappeared or merged with the A66 motorway, forcing us to ride long stretches of highway, which we’d rather avoid.
Thanks in advance for any tips or details about this route!
Hi there!
I’m currently planning a 9-day route starting from Marrakech with my husband. We land on the morning of June 13th—so soon! 😊
And we’re flying back to France on June 21st at 9 PM!
We’ve rented two Royal Enfield 450s.
This is our first motorcycle trip in Morocco. I got my license two years ago with the dream of taking this kind of trip, and here we are! ✌️😍
In France, we usually ride between 300 to 400 km per day on roadsters. We’re not used to off-road tracks, so we’re looking for easy ones 😅—especially for me 😅.
For Morocco, I’ve planned stages of 200 to 300 km per day. Here’s the idea: Day 1 (departure at noon): Marrakech - Tizi n Test - Tafingoult (165 km - 4h15) Day 2: Tafingoult - Amzarkou - Telouet (200 km - 4h34) Day 3: Telouet - Ait Benhaddou - Ouarzazate - Boumalne (200 km - 3h30) (+ Vallée des Roses maybe) Day 4: Boumalne - Dades Gorges - Agoudal - Todra Gorges - Tinghir - Goulmima (291 km - 6h) Day 5: Goulmima - Midelt - Cirque Jaffar - Agoudim (280 km - 4h45) Day 6: Agoudim - Imilchil - Aghbala - El Ksiba (280 km - 4h45) Day 7: El Ksiba - La Cathédrale - Zaouiat Ahansal (212 km - 4h20) Day 8: Ahansal - Ouzoud Waterfalls via R 302 (188 km - 4h22) Day 9: Ouzoud - Marrakech (160 km - 2h43) End of the trip 😮.
What do you think?
We haven’t booked any hotels—is that a problem? We were thinking of deciding day by day based on our progress.
Can we take our helmets with us in the cabin, or should we pack them in the checked luggage surrounded by clothes to avoid damage?
I’d love any tips! 😊 Thanks!
