Lot of riders out there can't figure out what a guanaco is....or how they're different from vicuñas. This doesn't seem to have much to do with how fast they're traveling; it's more about their curiosity (or lack thereof) about the world around them. Plus it's sometimes more difficult to learn about your surroundings when you travel as a couple or a group.
But....two months doesn't strike me as much fun, and I'll bet there's a lot more they fail to grasp than the names of the wild animals they pass. I'd have to be extremely well-compensated. On the other hand, didn't I hear somewhere that the record is something like three weeks?
