Hello All

We want to share with you this adventure we did down here in Chile.

"Twisted Andes" is a 4x4 Forum in spanish for Latin American Offroad enthusiasts, inspired in Pirate4x4 11 years ago by 4 Chilean friends: Gonzalo Bravo, Sebastian Varas Facundo Lozano, and Mariano Lozano (me). Right now we have more than 20.000 users from different spanish spoken countries.

Last year 2 of us participated as invited readers on the Ultimate Adventure in USA (Sebastian and Gonzalo), and born the idea to replicate the event here. We invited Rick Péwé and he accepted to help us with Ideas, ride with us in the adventure and cover the event in the 4Wheel & Offroad Magazine.

The event was very similar to the Ultimate Adventure in USA: 10 days with 22 rigs Wheeling, Camping, Driving, Repairing and sharing moments over 1.500 miles with friends in the best Off Road trails of Chile, from the Atacama Desert in the north to the rain forests in the AraucanĂ­a region in the south.

We have thousands of photos and hours of video coverage, but i will post some photos and a short "trailer" video for you to make an idea of the event. Also it will be covered by a local TV Show called "Aventura 4x4" and off course by 4Wheel & Offroad Magazine.

Hope you enjoy it.

Best Regards

I am still tired! But was an amazing experience, wheeling the best routes of the local offroading. From the dryiest desert in the world, to the snowy and muddy southern routes.

An incredible experience that plan to do it again!

Hugs
