After 20 years leading cultural and adventure tours all round South America, I took a year long motorcycle ride from my home town Cumbaya-just like the song! In Quito Ecuador, all the way down to Uruguay and south Brazil. I didn’t ride “solo”, no, I had with me a pet dog Mr. Champiñón, he kept me safe and loved all through our journey and then back home. I can believe its being 4 years since we both came back from the Ride of a lifetime. Today I´am inaugurating myself as a Google Local Anti-Tourguide, In fact that’s my proposal to you. After thousands of miles and countless hours exploration I have hand picket a various collection of local eateries, pubs and microbreweries, selected the unique and the out of the ordinary spots that only a local with a taste for original flavours and mixed influences would know. Welcome to the City without Shadow, were the days are equally long than the nights.
