The Ruta Del Sol is the first foray into the wilds of Latin America for the Adventurists. Thousands and thousands of miles of proper hardcore Jungles and rainforest, the Andes, awful roads, complete absence of roads, tropical weather and lest we forget, the carnival. Along with raising sacks of cash for awesome charities it's a heady combination I think you'll agree.
Start Date: 1st February 2008
Route: Quito, Ecuador, to Rio, Brazil
As always the route is what we call loosely defined, but this time we start in Ecuador and end up in Rio de Janeiro, errrr later. Head north and get kidnapped in Columbia, tackle the virtually impossible task of driving straight through Brazil or get lost and die of altitude sickness in the Andes by heading south, the choices are many. What better way to traverse the continent but in the iconic vehicle of the region, a knackered VW Beetle. So there it is, the South American gauntlet on the floor waiting for you.
The first Ruta del Sol has finished and the website will be update shortly with the shenanigans from the road. For information about the Ruta del Sol in 2009 sign up to the mailing list on the official website or email rutadelsol@theadventurists.com
