Australian Ben Hann and Canadian Olivia Cazes are riding horses from Argentina to Alaska along the world's longest highway.
It will take seven years to complete the 30,000-kilometre Pan American trek through 14 countries.
It only took Ben Hann and Olivia Cazes a few days to start an epic journey that will take them seven years to complete — riding horses from Argentina to Alaska.
They will spend the better part of decade transiting 14 countries along the world's longest highway — the Pan American.
It spans a distance that would take 26 hours by plane or a month of driving.
"It very much depends on what seasons we hit and where," Mr Hann, an experienced stockman and horse trainer from Darwin, said...
Hitting the longest road
Arising from a conversation at a Christmas party last year, within days the friends had booked their flights to Buenos Aires, arriving on New Year's Day.
Mr Hann and Ms Cazes spent the first week of 2025 in the Argentinian capital before making their way south to Ushuaia, a town known as the end of the world.
They embarked on the first leg of the trek on February 2 after three weeks in Ushuaia buying horses and preparing for their journey.
