Eduardo has dedicated a large part of his life to tourism, running Cabanas Lugano and conducting adventure motorcycle tours for the past 15 years.  Since he first rode a motorcycle at the age of 14, motorcycle riding/racing has been his passion.

 

While trying to find a balance between work and his favourite pastime he began conducting motorcycle tours in his native Chile. Over the years he has developed his skills as an adventure moto guide and been one the top motocross and enduro riders in Chile.

“My experience travelling by motorcycle has taken me to different routes in South America, including Patagonia (Argentina and Chile),  the Peruvian, Chilean and Argentinian Altiplano as well as other areas within these countries. I've also had the great opportunity to ride in countries including Canada where I rode the entire coast of Alaska and more recently the south west and Pilbara regions of Western Australia. Countries in Europe I have ridden in include; Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Switzerland and Austria.” says Eduardo.

PAUL NOTTLE

Paul Nottle

Paul Nottle (Australian) was born and raised in rural Western Australia and has ridden motorcycles from a young age, exploring trails around his hometown with his friends and brothers.He realized his dream of an overseas motorcycle adventure in 2006 riding around South America for one year on a 1200 BMW. It was on that trip that he met his great friend Eduardo while staying in Cabañas Lugano and exploring the local region by motorcycle. He has returned to Chile and Pichilemu several times and over the years decided it was the perfect place to set up AMSA with Eduardo, with the aim of showing the natural beauty and ruggedness of South America to other like-minded motorcycle adventurers.

“My natural inclination for travel and adventure combined with being a self confessed revhead led to my first trip to South America by motorcycle where I met Eduardo and discovered more or less my latino equivilant. As well as some great trips with him around the Pichilemu region, we shared many asados discussing our moto adventures. I invited Eduardo and his family to Western Australia in 2009 and during that trip the idea to start AMSA and offer tours both in South America and Australia was formed.”
