A Journey of Discovery and Adventure

In 1947, a small raft named Kon-Tiki, crafted from balsa logs and equipped with a makeshift sail and rudder, embarked on an epic voyage across the Pacific Ocean. Led by Thor Heyerdahl and a crew of five fellow adventurers, the expedition aimed to demonstrate the possibility that ancient Peruvians could have reached Polynesia by sailing on balsa rafts.

Over the course of 101 days, the Kon-Tiki crew braved perilous storms, encountered towering waves, and navigated by the stars. They faced hunger, thirst, and the constant threat of capsizing. Yet, through it all, their unwavering determination and camaraderie prevailed.
