9000 kilometers by bike across South America
For an entire year, a couple of Quebec cyclists set themselves an extraordinary challenge: to cycle across South America from north to south, covering more than 9,000 kilometers. Their route took them from Cartagena, on Colombia's Caribbean coast, to Ushuaïa, Argentina's southernmost city.
From sweltering heat to snowstorms, rain, wind and the Andean highlands, they faced every possible condition. Their journey took them through Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Chile.
During their talk, they will look back on a journey punctuated by grandiose landscapes, cultural discoveries and archaeological sites, not forgetting travel anecdotes, human and canine encounters and the inevitable mechanical glitches.
