Post a touring photo, no explanation needed. Just to help me dream. I’ll kick off.....

Driven that road never cycled it. The most dangerous way to travel it is in the back of a collectivo (pickup trucks for hire locally).

Sadly I know someone who's son perished while cycling it.
Take care folks.

I am sorry to hear about that. Unfortunately it does see several fatalities every year. We went with an organised outing and they were super careful with us. It was scary as the drop-offs are huge & steep and it is still a public road so although there is little traffic you have to be aware it may be round the corner and it is very narrow indeed. But I loved being able to rdie from the high mountains & glaciers right down to the rainforest with parrots & monkeys and wonderful flora

glad you survived - not for me - yep mountains to rainforest and the wildlife sounds amazing, but surely safer escapades offering similar. I like barriers on such roads.

No traffic sense at all, cattle.

On the Lon Cambria what else would you expect to cause a traffic jam?

Sometimes it's the quality of the obstruction, not the quantity

Touché!

Or rather not!

Just browsed through this and it's hammered home how much I'm missing the open road. Thanks to all who've contributed; much appreciated and inspirational.

I started going through some old photos from 1991 but knocked it on the head. Resolved to take better pics in future. So trying to look forward not backwards this year.
