In 2015, BikingMan founders, Leticia and Axel, have cycled across South America in 180 days, following the Andes Cordillera.
During their 13500 kilometers journey, in the remote areas of the Andes mountains, they have experienced the great hospitality and generosity of local people, especially the “Bomberos”, firemen of South America.
On the overall journey, they spent 116 nights in the wilderness and 26 nights hosted in firemen station. This generosity has lead to a great deal of discussions on their lack of means (equipment, vehicule and training). In 2016, this experience lead Léticia and Axel to sign a partnership with “Bomberos Sin Fronteras” french NPO to support field actions and help firemen around the world.
