3 ANSWERS TO: “WHY CYCLE PARAGUAY?”

Why would you cycle Paraguay? It’s usually not the first country you think of when choosing a destination to visit in South America. Quite on the contrary, it’s probably one of the last with Suriname and The Guianas. There are neither oceans nor high mountains, and even the historical sights don’t really compete with Machu Picchu (this is solely based on my gut feeling. Locals say that the Jesuit ruins in Santísima Trinidad are actually quite impressive).

CYCLING IN LATIN AMERICA

In November 2015, I set out to explore the vast and diverse realities of Latin America, and to question the persistent stereotypes of crime and violence in this region. I decided to do this by cycling first through South America (Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia from 2015-2017), then through Central America from May 2018. Through local women, I have become more and more involved in female empowerment and tackling male supremacy on this beautiful continent I now call home.
