Solo Amazon Source to Sea Navigation Gets into Second Gear

Submitted by admin on Tue, 14/08/2012 - 16:01
In July 2012, adventurer Davey du Plessis embarked on his second cause-driven adventure. A solo, unaided navigation from source to sea of the mighty and iconic Amazon River. The 6,500 km journey has been broken into three stages comprising an initial hike to the 5,597 m Mount Mismi, noted as the source of the Amazon; followed by an estimated 800 km cycle through the Peruvian Andes Mountains and finalized by a 5,700 km paddle down the Amazon River to the Atlantic Ocean on the coast of Brazil.
