Itinerary description
It is a 5 day motorcycle circuit. The route is lined with a landscape of mountains, hot springs, stalactite caves, picturesque river courses. We organized the accommodations along the way. Rooms are offered everywhere and are marked with signs, it turned out to be very easy, no problem. We felt safe and surrounded by nice people during the whole tour. The road conditions were really good. Still, you should never underestimate the traffic. Trucks like to cut corners and have no regard for motorcycles. The overtaking is an advantage, try to keep it as short as possible. Cars overtake even with zero visibility in curved areas and controlled forest fires can rob you of visibility relatively quickly. If you have a motorcycle license, I would recommend borrowing at least a 500cc bike. The 125cc motorcycles are a big risk especially when going downhill due to poor brakes and overtaking maneuvers are an high risk. 125cc are very cheap to rent. The big motorcycles cost's are higher than a rental car, but the experience with the motorcycle is incomparable.
