EXHILARATING FREEDOM IN THE ANDES
What better way to experience the Andes of Argentina, Chile and Bolivia than to weave though them by mountain bike? Chris Goulet not only hauls along three weeks of supplies through remote high passes, but also his entire high-altitude mountaineering gear and reaches the summit of Cerro Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Americas, and solos Nevado Ojos del Salado, the loftiest active volcano on Earth. Unsponsored and without outside support, he cycles on through surreal landscapes in absolute desert and across vast salt flats. More difficulties await in the steaming tropical rainforest (Chris Goulet, Jan, 1993)
AGAINST THE WIND - PATAGONIA
Starting at the southern most town of America, we rode north, passing through the Torres del Paine National Park and up to the Moreno Glacier. From there, we turned east to Rio Gallegos. It was a trip against the strong Patagonian winds, but nevertheless with rewarding scenery. (Waltraud Schulze, Mar, 1995)
