From Alaska to Tierra del Fuego: A Bicycle Journey Through the American Continent
41,000 kilometers, 20 months, and a whole continent full of contrasts: The presentation From Alaska to Tierra del Fuego takes the audience in Potsdam on an extraordinary journey along the American West and South Route. World traveler Thomas Meixner shares experiences, landscapes, and challenges between Arctic expanses, tropical jungles, the Andes, and the stormy Patagonia.
From the Arctic to the Pacific
The journey begins in Alaska and initially heads north to the Arctic region around Inuvik. The path then continues through the Yukon Territory and the Alaska Highway through British Columbia to Vancouver. The presentation combines impressive landscape images with personal experiences and conveys the scale of this extraordinary long-distance trip.
Canada, the USA, and Caribbean Lifestyles
At the St. Lawrence River, Thomas Meixner experiences the colorful Indian Summer before the route continues south through the United States. New Orleans and Florida mark important stops. After a detour to the Mayan sites in Yucatán, the journey continues to Cuba, where personal encounters and the openness of the people are a special focus.
Through the Amazon, Andes, and High Mountains
In South America, Caracas, the Amazon, and Bolivia open up new geographical and cultural perspectives. Heat, humid tropics, vast distances, and thin mountain air define the ride. A highlight is the ascent of the 6,439-meter-high Illimani near La Paz, which Thomas Meixner eventually reaches alone.
Patagonia and the End of the Pan-American Journey
The route continues through Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chile into the wind-swept Patagonia. The solitude of the Argentine steppe, national parks of the southern Andes, and Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world, are notable stops. After the ride back north, the adventure finally ends in Santiago de Chile.
A Multimedia Discovery Experience
Photos, videos, and audio recordings make the journey immediately tangible in the presentation. The event combines travel journalism, local history, nature experiences, and personal expedition experience into a cultural enrichment for all who want to discover America intensively from the perspective of a bicycle traveler.
