Brazil

This time Ryan rode solo, from the beaches of Rio de Janeiro through the remote Amazon and on to the cities of the south, Florianopolis, Blumenau and Sao Paulo, on a BMW.

The journey took Ryan through the mining towns of Minas Gerais and deep into the Amazon before he turned south for home: an epic 14,000 km, 60 day circumnavigation around Brazil.
