Inside the “bubble”
After spending days in the Sierra Nevada wilderness, we were offered the opportunity to spend some days at a private resort close to Santa Marta. As we arrived, we ate some lunch in the heat of a restaurant just behind the resort, while still waiting for keys and green light for entering the parking with […]
Granja Cinduli, Sierra Nevada
May 17, 2025 by oyvinkyvik
While at the coast of Northern Colombia (north of Santa Marta) at Palomino staying at a out of season beach camping site (we were the only campers for several days), we decided that we wanted to visit Sierra Nevada. We considered doing the 5-day hike to Ciudad Perdida, but we frankly neither liked the price […]
Crossing from east to west on Route 3N
April 15, 2025 by oyvinkyvik
Peru is a long and at times complicated country to cross by land. We spent the night “hiding” behind some big tractor-trailers in the corner of a gas station in Huánuco. With the purpose of avoiding a long deviation (implying returning to the south-west towards the coast) in direction of Lima, we contemplated following Route […]
Life is good… bumpy and full of surprises
April 13, 2025 by oyvinkyvik
Life is good and life is interesting but also exhausting when spending many hours behind the steering wheel on narrow dirt-roads of what sometimes feels more like a four-wheeled dual-sport (motorcycle) than a truck. It does absolutely everything and is literally unstoppable but of course we lack the comfort of a more modern vehicle. But […]
Inspired by other Overlanders, but still in doubt
March 27, 2025 by oyvinkyvik
As so many times in life, we are also now doing the opposite of most others. Many travelling Europeans are now returning from their various expeditions to park their more or less expensive and well-equipped vehicles (some of them litterally as cabins mounted on 4×4 trucks) at UY-Parking in Montevideo, while we are heading out. […]
Getting ready… Again…
March 25, 2025 by oyvinkyvik
22 of March we returned to Montevideo airport at 06:00 a.m. – tired after more than 15 hours flight from Barcelona via Bogota to Montevideo. But to our great surprise, Florencia and Ricardo, our friends from Atlántida, were there to meet us, give us a warm welcome, including some breakfast and homemade cookies. And they […]
Route 68 – 4×4 adventure at high altitude
February 29, 2024 by oyvinkyvik
We became aware of this mountain route while staying at the campground at Barbarco (Argentina) – a small village close to the Chilean border. When asking around for open and passable roads (where we may pass with a 4×4 vehicle), a fellow camper mentioned this route as an alternative and shorter route when returning to […]
Camping Ventisquero, Parque Pumalin – sector amarillo
February 18, 2024 by oyvinkyvik
We arrived at about 18:00 hours with rain. The park closes at 18:00 so we really arrived in the nick of time. When checking in, we were recommended camping in the uppermost camping area which is accessible only by 4×4 vehicles on a 15 km or so narrow, curvy, and very hilly forest-road. At the […]
Enjoying Torres del Payne
January 6, 2024 by elworldtrip
During the last week we have camped at two campgrounds within the national park. First, we spent three nights at Lake Pehoe, with a panoramic view at the three Torres (towers in English) which have formed part of so many commercials for trekking and tourism. At Lake Pehoe camping, which we used as a […]
