Peru

I ride and I record. There’s no editing of video’s when I’m back at home, my video’s are all edited on the road because I want to share my experiences as they happen, so…

Follow my journey through North, Central and South America. I’ve jacked in the job, packed my life into a pair of panniers and a roll bag and tied them down to a BMW F650 Dakar. Now it’s time for some fun.

In this episode I ride from Ecuador to Peru as I make my way to Cusco in the Sacred Valley via Kuelap.

In Pucarumi, a small community in the foothills of the snow-capped Peruvian Andes, Felipe mulls the fate of the life-giving Ausangate glacier. Year after year, the great white glacier of his boyhood has receded and slowly turned black.

“We are feeling the effects of climate change,” says Felipe, an alpaca herder whose animals graze on pastures irrigated by Ausangate’s waters. “This loss of snow means we receive less water. This climatic factor is causing us great danger.”

Less water has meant less pasture and more difficulty raising livestock. Animals such as alpaca and sheep aren’t eating enough, “so their wool doesn’t grow as well,” forcing people to turn to synthetic wool to weave hats, sweaters, and scarves.
