Last night on the volcano Tecuamburro Juan Carlos and Willie were vigorously tested; they got lost on their way down the volcano. This cost them about 6 hours. They will try to get this time back today.

Juan Carlos and Willie are in good physical and mental shape, they agree that the hardest challenges are behind them and are looking forward to putting Guatemala on the map for adventure travellers.

It’s very impressive to see the people in Guatemala getting involved with the challenge; people come by the RV and ask us if we need any help and how are we doing. The few seconds they have had on national TV has helped make this journey a country journey, instead of a 2 man journey. The whole country is supporting them.

We will keep you posted,
The North Face® Guatemala Team

Anoche el volcán Tecuamburro puso a puso a prueba a Juan Carlos y Willie; se han perdido en el descenso y esto les ha costado alrededor de 6 horas. Tratarán de recuperarlas el día de hoy.

Juan Carlos y Willie se encuentran en buena condición física y mental, y acuerdan que la parte más difícil del desafío ya quedó detrás de ellos. Se encuentran con ganas y motivados para poner a Guatemala en el mapa y atraer a más aventureros como ellos.

Es muy impresionante ver a la gente de Guatemala involucrarse en una actividad como esta. La gente se acerca al Camper (RV) constantemente a preguntar cómo van los atletas y si pueden ayudar en algo. Los pocos segundos y reportajes que han salido en la televisión nacional han logrado que este desafío se convierta en un desafío nacional, en vez de solo de estos 2 atletas. Toda Guatemala esta pendiente y apoyándolos.

Los mantendremos informados,
Equipo The North Face® Guatemala
