We kicked off 2017 on a high, with another Big Adventure.

Starting in the beautiful, cool climate of Chaing Mai, Thailand, this two-week motorcycle tour took us right into the heart of Burma – exploring ancient pagodas, rugged jungle and unforgettable winding roads.

With pure adrenaline rushing through your veins and an endless stretch of road in front of you, there are few more exciting ways to see the world than from the saddle of a motorbike. Other modes of transport will get you from A to B, but if you want a real adventure, two wheels is the way to go. 

Our ‘Bolivia Jeep Adventure’ is an exciting and exhilarating trip which offers an opportunity to drive a modern 4x4 jeep on the world’s largest salt flats and the world’s most dangerous road. On our most recent trip (July 2015) we had 6 clients (Keith, Carol, Colin, Nancy, Frank and Brian), and we think it is fair to say that during their two-week journey from the Amazon to the Andes they experienced a lifetime’s worth of adventure.

Last year our ‘Burma Motorcycle Adventure’ was included in a travel feature in The Independent newspaper. Written by Sarah Baxter, the article gave information about adventurous and exciting ways to explore this mysterious and magical country. 

We were very proud that TBAC was mentioned in the article alongside other well-known tour companies such as Selective Asia and Exodus. Thank you Sarah for including us! 

We’ve recently returned from our Big Colombian Recce Adventure and what a fantastic trip it was! We absolutely loved this crazy and colourful country and we’re excited about running our first official Colombia Motorbike Adventure in summer 2016.

We started our adventure from Cali and we spent our first few riding days on the never ending twisty roads of the spectacular Andes Mountains, before we headed down to the Caribbean beaches and UNESCO World Heritage city of Cartagena. Following a well deserved day off from riding we jumped back on the bikes to head south towards the vibrant city of Medellin which is located in the Aburra Valley in the heart of the Andes, and then we made our way back to Cali - the salsa capital of the world.

With its fascinating history, rich culture, colourful markets, and breathtaking and diverse landscapes (including the Amazon rainforest, the Andes Mountains and the high altitude deserts of the Altiplano), Bolivia is a country like no other.

We run our Bolivia Motorbike & Jeep Adventures in April and September of each year and with each visit we become even more enthralled by this incredible South American country. Here are 6 reasons why The Big Adventure Company loves Bolivia.

Often referred to as ‘The Golden Land’, Burma is one of the most mysterious and undiscovered countries in the world. Having only recently opened its borders to tourists, this magical country is on the cusp of great change and we urge you to visit Burma now before everyone else goes.

We ran our first ‘Burma Motorcycle Adventure’ in January 2015 and it was a great success.  We secured the necessary government permissions, permits and guides to allow us to ride in this very secretive country and we spent 2 weeks visiting the ancient temples and pagodas of Mandalay, Bagan and Inle Lake.

We were all completely enchanted by Burma and we’re extremely excited about returning to this incredible country in 2016. Here are 5 reasons why The Big Adventure Company loves Burma.
