Taking place in Argentina, a 58 year old man by the name of Raul Fernando Gomez from Uruguay was biking across the Andes between Chile and Argentina all the way back in May. Gomez quoted saying his bicycle broke down and he tried to finish his long audacious journey on foot when he lost his sense of direction from two heavy snowfalls.Gomez was found September 7th on a Sunday where he lost about 45 lbs and was severely dehydrated when found. Gomez made survived off his sugar and raisins he had packed with him but at times, he trapped rats and ate them. Although he had to eat a couple rats, it's a miracle that this man is still alive and with his family today.
