Pictures from my dad's Around the World motorcycle trip in the 60's

Between 1964 and 1966, Carlos Caggiani, my father, visited 26 countries on his 1947 Indian Chief motorcycle. His two year adventure is the subject of a book, "Huellas y Horizontes" (Tracks and Horizons). The Spanish version of that book can be found here, and an English translation is in the works for this year.

Below is an album of pictures and newspaper clippings from his voyage.

"Huellas y Horizontes" now available on Amazon!


My dad's book (previously announced in this post) is now available on Amazon.com! If you speak Spanish, I highly recommend this read. It chronicles a two year period in his life (1964-1966) when he embarked on an adventure to travel around the world on an old Indian Chief motorcycle.

He suffered many hardships, including being caught in the crossfire of a Bolivian revolution, being chased by the FBI in New Jersey, instense heat/cold/hunger, and a few accidents.

If you don't read Spanish, stay tuned for the English version, hopefully sometime this year. I am working on the translation...a slow but very rewarding process. Kindle versions will also follow.

My dad's book is published!


My dad wrote a book in Spanish, called "Huellas y Horizontes" ("Tracks and Horizons"). It's an autobiographical story of a trip around the world on a motorcycle in 1964. Very entertaining read! I designed the cover art and helped him publish it online.

The Spanish version is now available through CreateSpace, and soon to be on Amazon as well. I am currently working on the English translation.
