Cycling South America from Tip to Top: 13 100km through the Andes
An illustrated talk by Bridget Ringdahl on her recent book detailing her year long bicycle ride through South Americain support of FREE-ME KZN
Determination and my keen sense for adventure fueled my year long, 13 110km bicycle trip across the South American continent (Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia). Starting off alone in Ushaia, the Southern most town in the world I finished in the colonial city of Cartagena set on the Caribbean in Colombia. Following the Andes mountains all the way I crossed the glacier encrusted paradise of Patagonia, more than 15 excruciating passes between 3000m - 4700m, the incredible and bazaar Salar Uyuni (the worlds largest and highest salt pan, Bolivia), the Central Cordillera of Peru, the 'avenue of volcanoes' in Ecuador and the high mountains of Colombia down to the Caribbean coast.
