Join Bill and Nancy Holmes of Seattle as they pedal from the tip of Tierra del Fuego through South America, Central America, and into Mexico.

Recently married, Bill and Nan have already enjoyed a lifetime of adventures together. High-school sweethearts, they have traveled in over 35 countries. Their adventures have included exploring the ancient silk routes of Central Asia and climbing the mountains of the Pacific Northwest.

Their climbing experience includes ascents of major Pacific Northwest volcanoes as well as technical rock and ice-climbing routes. On their most recent trip they cycled the coast of Ireland from Dublin to Dublin, pedaling more than 2,000 miles and camping the entire way.

They've brought their climbing gear to South America and already have summitted a few peaks. Ride along with them as they make their way through the Andes.
