Summary:Stretching for over 5,500 miles, and containing the highest active volcanoes in the world, the largest salt flat, the highest lake, and peaks rivalled in size only by the Himalayas, the Andes impress by statistics alone. But beyond the range's sheer immensity, is its concentration of radically contrasting scenery and climates. Michael Jacobs route bgins in Venezuela, following the path of the great 19th century revolutionary Simon Bolivar and others.
