Itinerary description
|
This is the most complex and technical route that we made in the Island of Flores, traveling by motorcycle. The road was "broken" for a large part of the route. The asphalt disappeared and the holes had to be avoided as well as possible. The locals were surprised to see two foreigners in a minibike dodging the road, however much effort was worth it.
In Riung (we arrived at noon) we contacted a fisherman (captain) who took us to the nearby islands ideal for snorkeling, and relax from such a hard day.
The island of Flores is a destination gift to travel by motorcycle whenever you are cautious in driving and determined. The landscapes and their inhabitants are extraordinary.
Note. The gps does not record the route correctly. The whole route is correct until km 71, which is the destination point: Riung. From that km the route shown by the gps and reflected in wikilok (straight line) is an error of the device (which should have been dizzy after so much curve and tunnel)
