The Route
From Jujuy to Chubut
Starting in the northern province of Jujuy the plan for the team is to fly from the most northern region and follow the Andes south to the province of Chubut covering more than 2500km in the process.
The Andes is known to pilots as one of the most technical and difficult mountain ranges to fly with varying climates, topography and unpredictable wind and weather. With a loose flight plan of the entire distance the team have a lot of flying to do and planning as they go, reading the weather and making the smartest decisions for a safe and successful trip.
