I left Pasto planning to ride to Tuqerres, which is the base for Laguna Verde. Sad story of the beautiful Laguna Verde will be written in another entry.

After thinking a lot about not being able to say a proper goodbye to my riding buddies of almost a month now,I decided to skip Laguna Verde and rode directly to San Juan where Jeremy, Brian were spending the night before heading to Ipiales and then crossing border into Ecuador.

Next day we all set out for Ipiales and I ended up riding to Las Lajas thinking others would be there too. A beautiful gothic style cathedral built inside a huge valley.

Keiko PetroskySo brave Girish! Love how you go on adventures. I’m not brave enough to go out on my own…maybe one day I will go hiking solo, or even with a friend for a while will be sufficient adventure

Girish HemashettarTo Keiko PetroskyHola Keiko, Fortunately I met some riders/friends to ride with in the beginning and that familiarized me with the local culture, safety issues and such. Now I can bike alone but it's definitely fun with company..:-)

Then I rode up to bid adieu to Jeremy and Brian as they were heading to Tulcan, Ecuador and then to Quito while I had my own adventures waiting. This would be first time I would be on my own still aprendo Espanol..
