Abstract

In the 21st century, there are many women who continue exploring and touring territories of the world that have traditionally been traveled by a majority of men. They are women who often travel alone to develop their profession as archaelogists, doctors, historians, or athletes who want to achieve challenges such as to reach the top of a mountain for example, or simply to live an adventure, the adventure of exploring on land American in this case. This article focuses on two of them: Maria Valencia and Cristina Spinola, two women who represent and collect the adventurous spirit of the travelers women of previous centuries in the New World countries.
