The downside of having so many kilometres under your belt is losing your sense of wonder. Our recent trip through the Argentine Puna had exactly the opposite effect.
There we discover an exceptional landscape: vast, immense and almost empty, at more than 4,000 metres above sea level.
The crossing of South America, which takes us from the plains of Brazilian Pantanal at 5,000 metres on the Bolivian Altiplano. Designed as a point-to-point trek, we will cross the remote region of the Chiquitania in Bolivia and we will gain height in the colonial cities of Sucre and Potosí, finally touring the incredible landscapes of the Andean high deserts, to end in the Chilean town of San Pedro de Atacama And fly back from Santiago.
