Progress in Cusco

April 9, 2025 by

0

We entered Cusco relatively late in the afternoon and as we approached the city center, we were initially chocked by the traffic congestions and chaos as we arrived from the rural Peruvian plateau. Anyway, after struggling for a while to find our way out of the afternoon rush-traffic (neither Google maps nor the GPS were […]

History as a learned interpretation of past events

April 2, 2025 by

0

We have visited several historical sites during our travels, and so also on this route.   One of the first Inca settlements we visited where in Tilcara, Argentina. We jumped on a short, guided tour (guided by a young indigenous man) who told his story and took us through a brief and well-presented narrative of […]

Inspired by other Overlanders, but still in doubt

March 27, 2025 by

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…

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 […]

Our final leg

March 29, 2024 by

0

On our final leg we crossed the border to Uruguay at Paysandú and decided to make a half circle route exploring rural Uruguay on our way to the Montevideo-region. We soon got respect for the extent of Uruguay´s agricultural industry, passing 100s of kilometers of fields of maize, soja, forests of eucalyptus, chicken farms, cattle, […]

Zigzagging rural Argentina – as we approach the Uruguayan border

March 15, 2024 by

0

The last weeks of our venture have been spent moving further to the north in Argentina, always keeping the route well to the west of the region of Buenos Aires and trying to avoid large urban areas. We are going slowly to really enjoy our travel experience and saying goodbye to Argentina. It is of […]

Camping Life – Hardware and Software

March 1, 2024 by

0

First the camping hardware: So far so good. Really. The biggest challenge for us has, on and off, been the strong Patagonian wind. The rooftop tent has stood its test – it sounds like it is going to fly away but so far it has stayed intact and in place (and we’ve in fact heard […]

Camping Ventisquero, Parque Pumalin – sector amarillo

February 18, 2024 by

1

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 […]

Lago Jeinimeni – Patagonia National Park

After resting a day at a Chile Chico camp site, and restoring our provisions (naturally we always fill the diesel tank when we have the opportunity), we headed east to visit Lago Jeinimeni and the Vulcanic mountain formations on the way (La Piedra Clavada etc.). P At the camp site at the Jeinimeni lake, we […]

Puerto Tranquilo (“The Quiet Port”)

January 26, 2024 by

0

We stayed 2 days in Puerto Tranquilo – in a small camping, spending our time exploring, hiking and resting (we even took a hot bath and was served Pisco Sour by the young couple running the camping). We really needed a short break after heavy and slow going on the dusty and often corrugated roads. […]
