Projection-conference: Quito - Ushuaïa, passage through the Andes-mountains by bike
Back from their second expedition, we get an incredible adventure-package, which will bring you from the jungle of Ecuador, through Peruvian-, Argentinian- and Chilenan deserts, till of course the heights of the Andes with several passages above 5000 meter. « When I climb a mountain-pass, I motivate myself imagining I'm a butterfly » Corinne laughs. Enzo (more pragmatic) adds : « All we climb will be downhill afterwards! ». This is how our 2 bike-travellers motivated themselves in their challenging adventure. Attacked and bitten by wild dogs, thirsty through deserts where night-temperatures can get below -10 °C, lost in a « no man's land » between Chile and Argentina, they have twice reached Ushuaïa, the most southern city of the planet, as winners.
In figures...
It are : more than 16 000 kilometres covered, 15 799 093 wheel tours (they've counted them), 251 days on the bike and 127 nights spent in the tent.
