About Charles Feil

“Adventurer, Aviator and Author, Charles Feil has always believed that if you follow your passions the rest will fall into place. He has traveled five continents with his camera on his shoulder and a sense of adventure in his soul. Jane Goodall sought him out to make wildlife films on the Serengeti Plains of East Africa.

He both flies his Gyrocopter, Rooty Kazooty while simultaneously photographing the landscape below. The first Gyroplane pilot to fly all 48 States without ground support!” Chuck now calls Bisbee, AZ home and owns and operates PanTerra Gallery Gallery.

About Banámichi and the Rio Sonora

The Rio Sonora (the Sonora River) winds from just south of Cananea to Hermosillo. In years past it made its way to the Sea of Cortez but no more. The river valley winds through the foothills of the Sierra Madre Occidental passing through small pueblos of friendly people and colonial architecture. The river road rises and falls from high passes to wet river crossings with twists, turns and fantastic vistas of the river, the desert and the mountains, making it perfect for motorcyclists and videos. At the very heart of the Rio Sonora lies Banámichi, a lovely colonial town whose mission was founded in 1639. Banámichi is home to Hotel Los Arcos, where you will spend 3 nights and explore this beautiful region.

From Banámichi, we will ride several other routes to other pueblos and through the mountains on roads that will get your heart pumping and inspire the videographer in you.

The group will meet in Bisbee AZ for breakfast and a pre-ride briefing at the Bisbee Breakfast Club, cross the border and ride together to Hotel Los Arcos in Banámichi. Departure time is 9:30 am.
