EpicTV Interviews Rafa Ortiz On Amazon Express Expedition

Yesterday I posted an update on West Hansen’s Amazon Express expedition, reporting on the team’s progress along the Earth’s mightiest river. Today, EpicTV follows that up with an interview with kayaker Rafa Ortiz, who joined West on the Amazon for a brief time. In the interview, Rafa talks about their experiences in the early whitewater sections high in the Andes Mountains. For Rafa, this was his first experience with expedition paddling, so much of it was new to him as well. The interview is accompanied by some great photos from the journey as well, which give us an opportunity to see what the remote Peruvian Andes – the source of the Amazon – actually looks like.
