I Got Lost in the Atacama Desert… Then Someone Started Following Me | Kove 800x
✦ Episode 41 – Lost in the Atacama 🇨🇱
Today I ride out from San Pedro de Atacama to explore the empty tracks and backroads surrounding the desert.
Before heading off into the sand, I stop to service the bike — a quick check-over and maintenance session in the middle of nowhere, making sure the Kove is ready for whatever the Atacama throws at it.
Then the exploring begins.
I come across an abandoned bus left behind by old mining operations, ride deeper off-road into soft sand and dry riverbeds, and eventually get properly stuck — fully loaded and completely alone — digging and lifting the bike out by hand before carrying on.
But the day isn’t over yet.
Not long after, a park ranger pulls up and tells me I shouldn’t be there at all… and escorts me off the land.
One of those classic desert days where a simple ride slowly turns into something much bigger.
Heat, silence, sand — and a long way from help.
