#143 - Amazon Source to Sea Adventure with Darcy Gaechter - Encore Episode

Welcome to today’s episode of the Paddling the Blue podcast!

I was paddling with some friends recently and someone mentioned Darcy Gaechter. Darcy is an extraordinary adventurer and author of Amazon Woman. Darcy's journey down the Amazon River set a milestone as the first and only woman to paddle the entire length of the river. The paddler I was with was fascinated by Darcy’s story so I thought this would be a great opportunity to bring this one back to the top. In this episode, we explore the challenges, thrills, and fascinating encounters from her epic 148-day expedition where she achieved that milestone.
