The Challenge...
Michael
Kemp and Amanda Phillips set themselves the challenge to drive from Texas to the
southern tip of South America. They estimated that the expedition would last
approximately 12 months but after 8 months they had achieved their goal, having
made it to the end of the road in Tierra del Fuego and up to Buenos Aires, where
the expedition ended on 1 March 2001, at least for now…
Latin American Challenge supports the work of two
charities, The MS Society and Rainforest Concern. A secondary aim of the
expedition was to raise money for these charities (Fundraising
and Events). Whilst in Ecuador Michael
and Amanda visited two different projects supported by Rainforest
Concern,
Yachana Lodge in the Ecuadorian Amazon and Santa Lucia Cloud Forest
Reserve.
Accounts of the 8 month expedition are recorded in Expedition
Chronicle.
Further articles and photos about their experiences will be available to read
soon.
