Most people have seen the famous pictures of South America. The ruins of the Incas surrounded by rainforest and deep valleys. Snow covered summits and volcanic cones. Indians in colourful traditional costumes. Magnificent granite pillars. Vast white salt plains and immense glaciers. Bike Dreams has created a wonderful route which incorporates all the main attractions allowing you to experience the full beauty of the South American continent. We would like to introduce an incredible bike race/expedition : The Andes Trail, from the middle to the end of the world in 11.000 kilometres. The start of The Andes Trail is at August 6th, 2010 from the equator, just outside Quito. The finish is 129 days later and 11.000 kilometres ( 6.875 miles ) further south.
