Bowermaster on the Altiplano

altiplano

I've mentioned Jon Bowermaster before, and had the recent privilege of talking to him at the Adventure Travel Expo here in New York. I've also mentioned his epic Ocean's 8 project, which, let's face it, is amazingly cool. But I came across today this series of dispatches from Bowermaster's trip on the altiplano that I'd not seen or heard before and wanted to post about it. There are both text and audio dispatches here, the latter of which really put you in the moment. The thing that  I lived in Chile for a year several years ago, spent a fair amount of time on the altiplano, and so Bowermaster's experience there brought back some great memories of a place of unusual beauty.  Speaking of beauty, you should also check out Peter McBride's photos from another one of Bowermaster's trips to French Polynesia. This is just mind-blowing stuff.
