Mysterious land, enormous and inaccessible. According to one theory the name PATAGONIA was coined by the Magellan's sailors, who used it when referring to the area inhabited by the Tehuelche Indians. The latter wore large sandals that made their feet look huge and “Pata” in Spanish means a paw. To the north of Buenos Aires is one of the world wonders - Iguaçu Falls. That was one of many sites the participants of another Allcon expedition saw during their travel in November and December 2003.

One of the most beautiful high mountain trekking routes in the world. Eight thousand metre high mountains within the reach, marvellous landscapes, Buddha monasteries- all this was waiting for the participants of the next Allcon Expedition in October/November 2002.

High hills of Andes, Cotopaxi- the highest active volcano in the world, deserted coasts of the Atlantic Ocean, unique nature. We were amazed not only by the environment, people, ancient buildings, but also by the atmosphere of this expedition- recapturing the mysteries of ancient civilisations every day. Allcon Cotopaxi Expedition 2001 took place in November/December 2001. In photo gallery you can see part of the photographic material made by the participants of this expedition.

Which mountain might welcome and accept daredevils who spend most of the week behind their desks? That was the question that vexed the prospective mountaineers. Kuba Jakubczyk, a Himalayan mountaineer was ready with advice. He suggested Kilimanjaro. But there were no guarantees of success. The ascent is relatively simple, but it is the mountain's radically different climatic zones, and scarce oxygen at the final stages of the climb, that stop some climbers from reaching the top. But the die was cast…

In April 2000 we sponsored Allcon Mount Everest Expedition of Kuba Jakubczyk, a Gdansk Himalayan mountaineer. You can read mere about the expedition in his diary " The book of adventure 2000" (quotation.: "… Oh mountain, let me be here, reach your top and safely come back…-I'm whispering my prayer.")
