Hanna C. Johansson's Triumph Scrambler 900 South America Ride - Episode 5
In Episode 5 of her South American adventure, sponsored by Triumph, Hanna C. Johansson reunites with her Scrambler 900 in Chile, chooses her own path through Patagonia over the popular route to Ushuaia, and embraces the freedom, challenges, and beauty of riding solo through one of the world’s most breathtaking landscapes.
Back in Punta Arenas, Chile, she reunites with her Triumph motorcycle, Rey, freshly serviced and fitted with new Michelin Anakee Wild tyres. With her gear finally recovered after a frustrating luggage delay, she’s ready to hit the road once more.
Faced with a decision to ride to the iconic Ushuaia or forge her own path northward, Hanna chooses the latter, trusting her instincts over expectations. Her journey takes her into the heart of Patagonia, through Torres del Paine National Park, where she’s overwhelmed by the raw beauty of the landscape. Riding through dirt roads and battling fierce winds, she finds joy in the challenge and freedom of solo travel, capturing moments of awe and gratitude along the way.
