From the foothills of the Andes, we sailed the 2770 kms from the Rio Paraguay to Buenos Aires, stopping to carry out archaeological, ethnographic, and community aid projects en route.

As in Phase One the Expedition was to examine the possibility of early trading links between South America and Africa and encouraging support for Bolivian archaeology. The 1999 programme included the increased involvement of IT to publicise the expedition's work through the Internet and by the linking of students in host countries to others in Britain and Europe. Community aid projects involving engineer advice and support for educational facilities continued.
