Itinerary

The route of the Andean Geotrail follows and crosses the Andean Cordillera from South to North. During the journey, we will cross five regions that are geographically, geologically, climatically and sociologically distinct.

With 10 000 kilometres of distance, passes higher than 4700 metres, the crossing of high plateaus, deserts and very wet areas, extreme temperatures from -25°C to 45°C, furious winds, the Andean Geotrail is a major physical challenge. In order to face such harsh conditions, we will undergo suitable training.

The various climates and seasons are major constraints on the organisation of the expedition. Departure is scheduled for November 2008 in order to benefit from the Patagonian spring. With a planned daily average distance of 40-50 kilometres and planning some resting and visiting periods, we anticipate our arrival in Lima 9 months later in August 2009.
