the 16th
Camel Trophy Expedition
"the event that redefines modern adventure".
This was the first time the expedition has been held in Central America, with
a record 20 countries participating.
The route visited an unprecedented five countries (Belize, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras) traversing 1,700 kms of diverse terrain from lowland jungles to scrub covered mountains.
The F-Pro crew followed the expedition as it travelled through the heart of the Mayan world, where a people and civilization that spanned four
thousand years is still very much in evidence today. This year the Camel
Trophy took adventure and discovery the next logical step by
becoming directly involved with salvage work and environmental research
on a remote unexcavated archeological site.
As the expedition travelled through the Peten jungle of northern Guatemala,
F-Pro documented the inside workings of an animal rescue
and rehabilitation organization to show how this organization is
working to protect the environment and its biodiversity.
F-Pro also field tested a new technology in documentary
production - on-screen longitude and latitude coordinates pinpointing the
location of the F-Pro cameras. Through the use of Global
Positioning System (GPS) technology and the help of on screen maps,
viewers of the F-Pro news and documentary material will know exactly "where they are".

the Camel Trophy, the F-Pro crew follows the challenges and
victories of expedition teams from Belgium, Canada, Canary Islands, Czech
Republic, France, Germany, Greece, The Netherlands, Hungary, Israel, Italy,
Japan, Poland, Russia, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, South Africa, Spain,
