Miltico arrives in La Gran Sabana: the cycladventure that touched Venezuela

Milton Medina, known as Miltico, completed a 1,500 km bicycle journey from Ciudad Ojeda to La Gran Sabana in Venezuela, inspiring many with his perseverance and his adopted dog Lara.

Miltico arrived at La Gran Sabana on June 14, after traveling over 1,500 km in more than 40 days.

He adopted a puppy named Lara during his journey, which increased his popularity.

He paused his trip in Ciudad Bolívar due to a double earthquake and stayed in Puerto Ordaz.

He was escorted by cyclists and motorists, and received enthusiastic welcomes in towns like Las Claritas.
