PDF Digital eBook
A selection of chapters from On & Off The Gringo Trail: Part One
Following La Ruta del Che across Argentina and Bolivia initially presents itself as a sensible, well-signposted plan involving maps and a reassuring sense of progress. This assumption does not survive long. What begins as a tidy pilgrimage rapidly mutates into a border-hopping odyssey through deserts, mountains, neglected towns, and into the sort of places where history has left only fragments, rumours, and a great deal of dust.
Along the way, remnants of a famous motorcycle are pursued, multiple versions of Che Guevara’s diaries are consulted, and locals offer stories with great enthusiasm and very little agreement. Some are whispered in confidence, others declared beyond dispute, all equally contradictory and somehow essential. The result is not clarity, but something far more entertaining: a gloriously tangled weave of myth, memory, revolution, and human contradiction, where the search itself becomes more revealing than any conclusion.
