Giancarlo Brocci. Argentina by bike

"North Argentina is a spectacle. In this pocket-sized series, the diary of an exceptional journey by bicycle accompanied by the photos of the great Paolo Penni Martelli, who rode each of the stages with his precious equipment.

The point is to provide a kind of guide, a reminder in everlasting memory for the 17 magnificent ones and for those who will find themselves dreaming about it again, planning future trips, opening up to the emotion of discovery. It is also a tribute to the magnificence of an Argentina that makes a continent of its own, from the tropics of Misiones and Iguazu to the ice of Tierra del Fuego, from the seas of Moby Dick and unpunished corsairs to the Andes of condors, pumas and the magnificent Incas. The Incas who returned on our tours, who seemed to be waiting for us up on top of the Cuesta del Lipan, behind the cacti of El Infiernillo, whom we ideally embraced in Purmamarca and Humahuaca. More than 200 photographs illustrate a detailed itinerary of this heroic adventure."
