Just rode the BOLIVIA WILD WILD west 17 day tour with Roland (Owner/guide) and Yerson his chase truck driver. Total of 4 riders plus guide. First I would have to say all his bikes where like new DRZ650's nicely set up for Bolivia riding. Big tanks, panniers, crash protection etc.. His chase truck was very very well outfitted with spare parts, tubes, tires, etc. He has a very thorough parts inventory for the bikes and his driver is a motorcycle mechanic by trade. One DRZ had a freak complete ECU failure about 10 days into the ride. Which I never heard of on a DRZ650. Well Roland had a spare'!!!! His mechanic/driver/awesome guy had it diagnosed and replaced in 10 minutes and we were on our way! All hotels and meals were awesome and we got to see some truly special places. Great tour!

I just did the highlander tour. the obvious stuff is great. like the views and towns. its a very structured schedule. the bikes are in very good condition. and they maintain the bike when needed during the tour. more importantly the guide knows things and has suggestions based on his experience living in Bolivia. (e.g.) when to eat certain foods and drinks in certain areas. tries his best to provide comfort in accommodations and restaurants. that is difficult because what the country can provide is limited. always good with wardrobe questions while riding. he has a lot of knowledge when it comes to health and or medical attention. always finding a solution for a personal issue that someone may have. dietary, or allergy, or injury. he helped me greatly with an allergic skin reaction I had. fluent in Spanish he was able to translate medical terminology. also having the chase truck is a huge help. carry all your big luggage and extra tools and spare parts. and the driver is a great guy who is fun to hang out with. feels like a friend. they do all the accommodations costs and fuel and food and airport national park costs and everything so you don't have to worry or think about any of those logistics.

Geile Tour "Highlander 2"

Wir haben unglaublich viel vom Land gesehen, die Landschaft wechselt manchmal im halbstunden Takt , Bolivien hat sehr viel zu bieten .

Roland ist der perfekte Organisator, nichts wird dem Zufall überlassen, alles ist top vorbereitet und doch so flexible das die Gruppe immer wieder eingebunden wird, stop hier oder lieber dort, länger oder nur kurz, alles ist möglich.
Es war auch immer genug Zeit für Fotos oder einfach zum schauen und auf sich wirken zu lassen.
Für mich hat alles gepasst, ich würde jederzeit wieder mit Roland auf Tour gehen.

I enjoyed this tour a lot and this is coming from someone in his 4rth year on a South American motorcycle ride. Roland, the owner/guide and his assistant Yerson gave us a safe and enjoyable experience. I would recommend this tour without reservation.

When planning our dream trip to South America, we came across Bolivia Motorcycle Adventures.
Contact via email and whatsapp with Roland, the person in charge always went smoothly and clearly.
It gave us peace of mind to be able to consult with a 'local', who adapted a standard package to our wishes (custom WWW tour).
This way we had a clear planning and agreements in advance and we knew what we were getting into. (airport pick-up, transfers, overnight stays, meals, visits,…)

As 1200cc adventure riders we were a bit skeptical about the Suzuki DR, but after 1 day we were sold. It must be said, they are in perfect order and are very well maintained! At the end of the trip we realized that this bike is the perfect companion for this country and these conditions!
In terms of overnight stays, we were able to taste everything, from hotel to local B&B… but this way we also got a better view of the 'Bolivian way of life'.

Our guide, Roland, came across as a bit strict at the first meeting, but once he gets to know you, he will loosen up. He also emphasized safety a lot, but as the trip progressed we understood why and thanks to the clear agreements we never felt unsafe.

Roland and Yerson, big thanks for this unforgettable experience!
We really had a great time in Bolivia with you.

greetings

Wild wild west Tour März 2023. Roland hat uns "sein" Land gezeigt. Von den atemberaubenden High-Lands, über den Salar von Uyuni zurück durch die Low-Lands. Die Strecke hin war sehr abwechslungsreich in den Bergen mit ordentlich Off-Road Anteil. Die 1100km zurück waren eher langweilige Straße. Die Tour sollte meiner Meinung nach in umgekehrter Richtung und mit höherem Off-Road Anteil gefahren werden. Roland ist der Kümmerer: Er kümmert sich um das Wohl, das Essen, die Zimmer, die Motorräder, etc. aller Teilnehmer.
Ein tolles Land, das er uns gezeigt hat.

Want a raw experience in Bolivia while on a motorcycle? Well, Roland has the answer! I've been to Bolivia four times, and this is the only time I spent really out in the open. Our ride was 11 days long (Wild Wild West Tour) and we went from nearly sea level to over 13,800 ft elevation. From dense humid jungle (La Higuera - Che Guevara) to high altitude salt flats (Salar in Uyuni). Every day was its own mini adventure! Roland and his faithful sidekick, Yerson, were very professional and knowledgeable of the routes, history, culture and cuisine. Some tour operators will have you ride 100's of kilometers each day, but Roland picks and plans his routes to allow you time to explore, meet with locals, take walks through small villages and just sit and relax with a Bolivian-style cappuccino! The paved roads are awesome (better than some in the US!) and the off-roading was fascinating. Afraid of heights?? Well, I'm deathly afraid of heights, but Roland put me at ease and made sure I was comfortable with each challenge, including a "Plan B" ride-around should I need it (which I didn't!!). Roland's motorcycles are well maintained (I've owned over 30 bikes and currently a 1200GS) and he takes pride in his fleet. I know good moto maintenance when I see it. One look at his garage and you'll see he's quite organized! All of our bikes (6 riders including Roland) ran flawlessly. No issues. Tire issues, yes. But that's to be expected. Never did I feel like I was unsafe on his bike. A few pointers for those thinking of taking on the challenge. 1) Bring your own snacks if you need extra nourishment. 2) Bring plenty of vitamins, Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Metamucil, etc. Be prepared!! 3) I brought a Grayl UltraPress water purifier bottle to keep plastic bottle trash to a minimum. 4) Bring Permethrin bug repellent spray for your clothing. 5) Be ready for both Hot and Cold climates...rain gear!! Warm gloves. Balaclava. Wind breaker. Don't underestimate the sudden changes in climate! 6) Consider a silk sleep sack. 7) An open mind and a willlingness to deviate from the plan should things come up...like roadblocks or landslides. 8) And don't expect this to be anything like you've done before! Call Roland...you won't regret it unless you don't add this to your bucket list!!

(Übersetzt von Google) Guide mit viel Erfahrung, er kennt mehr als die Strecke, er kennt die Kultur und hat unterwegs gute Kontakte zu den Hoteliers. Pro: gute medizinische Erfahrung. Motorcycle Diaries Tour, 6 Tage, Guide kannte interessante Leute um mehr zu erfahren und sehr gute Guides. Guter Rat für Anfänger auf dem Feldweg, man lernt sehr schnell mit Roland

Amazing trip, only 2 weeks to plan, Roland did a great job organizing a custom tour 2.500 km from Santa Cruz to La Paz in 11 days. Great time! Lot´s of memories.
