    In 1948, Ernesto "Che" Guevara began studying medicine at the University of Buenos Aires. During his studies, he took two long journeys through Latin America that profoundly changed his views. The first was a solo bicycle trip through northern Argentina in 1950, and the second was a nine-month, 8,000 kilometer motorcycle trip through South America with his friend Alberto Granado in 1951, where they volunteered at a leper colony in Peru.

    N 1948, GUEVARA ENTERED THE UNIVERSITY OF BUENOS AIRES TO STUDY MEDICINE.

    HIS "HUNGER TO EXPLORE THE WORLD"[33] LED HIM TO INTERSPERSE HIS COLLEGIATE
    PURSUITS WITH TWO LONG INTROSPECTIVE JOURNEYS THAT WOULD
    FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE THE WAY HE VIEWED HIMSELF AND THE CONTEMPORARY
    ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IN LATIN AMERICA. THE FIRST EXPEDITION IN 1950 WAS A
    4,500 KILOMETER (2,800 MI) SOLO TRIP THROUGH THE RURAL PROVINCES
    OF NORTHERN ARGENTINA ON A BICYCLE ON WHICH HE INSTALLED A SMALL MOTOR.
    [34]
    THIS WAS FOLLOWED IN 1951 BY A NINE MONTH 8,000 KILOMETER (5,000 MI)
    CONTINENTAL MOTORCYCLE TREK THROUGH MOST OF SOUTH AMERICA. FOR THE
    LATTER, HE TOOK A YEAR OFF FROM STUDIES TO EMBARK WITH HIS FRIEND ALBERTO
    GRANADO, WITH THE FINAL GOAL OF SPENDING A FEW WEEKS VOLUNTEERING AT THE
    SAN PABLO LEPER COLONY IN PERU, ON THE BANKS OF THE AMAZON RIVER.
