Have you heard of the Marathon des Sables?
Racing 142 miles over seven days in the Sahara. 120F heat. Wind storms. Carrying all your own gear & food. One guy got lost for over a week last year.
great pics of Bolivia
Lee Chai has a good eye.
My buddy Grant climbed Volcan Licancabur. It’s much tougher and higher than it looks. 5916m (19404ft)
Bolivia hiking
I was twice so far frustrated trying to hike Bolivia, the poorest and most problematic of South American countries.
But I vow one day to do the long Transcordillera trek through the Royal Mountains. And return to the great salt flats.
cycling and hiking – Beat Heim’s amazing website
I’ve seen most of the popular hiking website / blogs on internet.
Beat’s Heim’s site is the best.
Great maps, great photos. Extreme travels!
You need a high speed connection as his stuff is graphic intensive.
