In January 11, 1935, three Venezuelan Boy Scouts left the Plaza Bolívar in Caracas with five bolívars in their pockets and a single destination: Washington D.C. What followed was one of the most extraordinary feats of human endurance in the history of the Americas.

Rafael Ángel Petit and Juan Carmona walked across a continent. Through the suffocating jungles of the Chocó, where a jaguar stalked them through the night. Through the mountains of Central America, where illness nearly ended the journey before it had truly begun. Through the highways of Mexico and the border crossings of ten countries, surviving on donated meals, autographed postcards, and the moral authority of their scout uniforms. Over 11,000 miles on foot. 886 days after leaving Caracas, they climbed the steps of the United States Capitol.
