Über das Buch
Two Brits abroad (uno gringo y una gringa) set off for twelve months of cycling from Cape Horn to the Caribbean. Unsupported and through the wilds of pre-Tripadvisor days, the Columbian jungles, Peruvian muggers, tropical heat, altitude sickness and deserts, armed with an inch-a-day (at their speed) map.
Their escapade would take them from falling asleep to the squawks of penguins, basking in the hospitality of Patagonian farmers (who saved them from hunger and thirst) , marvelling at the Incan civilisation still imprinted on the Andean landscape, to climbing Chimborazo with heads splitting, to waking to the realisation that the cows had eaten your saddle.
Perfect for cycle-tourers and armchair afficionados alike, this may even inspire you to pick up the gauntlet and head for Patagonia yourself?
