Cycling in
Latin America
My name is Paweł Stefanoff, 43. After having finished a job and before starting a new one, I decided to go for a bicycle tour in Latin America. I am going from south to north along the Andes mountains, during approx. 7 months. Later, I will decide whether to continue and in which direction. I keep this blog mostly to keep my family and friends informed about my current position so they do not worry about my safety. But it's open for anyone interested. I usually check in once daily.

Distance 84 km (cum. 9,734 km); Ascent 1,170 m (cum. 79,944 m). Since I arrived in Ayacucho, for about 10 days, I'm staying mostly at the...
