2022 Across Andes: The Film
Across Andes is a 1,100-kilometer unsupported ultracycling gravel race in Chile. There were more than 150 riders at last year’s event in November, and the organizers just released the official 27-minute event film by Andrew Figueroa for everyone to enjoy. Watch it here…

Across Andes follows a 1,100-kilometer route through Chile that crosses the longest mountain range in the world, from the Andes to the Pacific Ocean. This year was the third edition of the event, and the riders coped with scorching-hot temperatures, brutal headwinds, and big climbs. It was an exciting event to follow, and it included a record-setting first-place finish from Ulrich Bartholmoes, who finished in 49 hours and 25 minutes. Cynthia Frazier was also riding hard and set a new fastest-known women’s time of 68 hours and 39 minutes, averaging 18 kilometers per hour throughout the race. Watch the official event film below and scroll down for some photos from Nils Laengner. And don’t forget to turn on subtitles!
“In some ways Across Andes is an ultra-cycling race, and in others it’s an experience.”
