Across The Andes: Beyond Boundaries - Climbing the Andes

Will the dramatic scenery of the Andes and the warm reception of the Andean people give the team sufficient mental strength to face up to the relentless climb in freezing conditions? It is the crux of their expedition over the Andes, and not everyone will succeed.
