January 5, 1954) was a Swiss-born, Argentine professor, writer, and adventurer. A.F. Tschiffely (as he was better known) wrote a number of books, most famously Tschiffely's Ride (1933) in which he recounts his solo journey on horseback from Argentina to Washington DC, an epic adventure that still marks one of the greatest horse rides of all time. Tschiffely was a household name in the United States during the 1930s, meeting with President Calvin Coolidge and appearing in National Geographic Magazine and earning a lucrative living from his popular book sales. In 1925 at the age of 30 he decided to undertake a journey by horseback from Buenos Aires to Washington DC. At the time (and even to this day) most would assume this could not be done. Newspaper at the time declared "Impossible! Absurd! The man must be mad!". He wrote about his ride in a bestselling book called The Ride or Tschiffely's Ride in which he recounts his epic three year journey from 1925 to 1928 on two native Criollo horses named Mancha (meaning Spotty) and Gato (meaning Cat), direct descendants from horses brought to Argentina by conquistador Pedro de Mendoza in 1535 (the first horses brought to the new world). These horses were of the best Spanish stock (at the time, the best in Europe), which had gone feral in the pampas. They were legendary for their toughness, intelligence and stamina Che Guevara. I can't believe nobody else has mentioned him. Es lo MAS famoso, CHE! Che Guevara is not as famous as Maradona or Evita Peron, maybe not even Juan Domingo Peron, he is probably close to Carlos Menem in fame.
