Visiting the canyons in Santa Catarina Province with their trails and the lost villages. Along the coast during high season and exploring some peculiar places established long time ago by German immigrants.
Leaving Paraguay, entering Argentina, and on to Brazil’s south. To visit world-famous Iguazú Falls, then cruising thru the hills towards the Atlantic coast. A journey thru Brazil’s wealthiest agricultural land, peculiar villages founded by Germans or Austrians, and our 1st experience with a Portuguese-speaking country.
Paraguay’s greatest tourist attraction: Carnival. After that our journey thru rural Paraguay, making our way to its somewhat grim capital, Asunción, and on towards Ciudad del Este.
About 1500km to reach Paraguay. A journey thru western Uruguay along the homonymous river. Then into Argentina’s northernmost part. This region leaves a rather poor impression despite the vast pastures and reforestations. It’s mainly a drive thru flat, sparsely populated land to finally reach Encarnacion in Paraguay. The Argentinian dream of a shopper’s paradise.
Nearly 1 year back to Europe. Of course, not always at home. Nevertheless, somewhen it’s enough. On 9th of January we arrive again in Montevideo, Uruguay.
How to survive Argentina. And more
All you need to know while overlanding Chile. And much more.
Our very last post of this trip thru South America. It’s about Argentina’s capital Buenos Aires, then Uruguay: Colonia de Sacramento and Montevideo. To park Prado for the next months. Finally the flight back to Swizzyland in 1 of these sardine tins they call a plane.
The last days in Patagonia, Chiloé Island, and some tourist hotspots in Chile’s and Argentina’s Lake District. Then the long drive thru the Pampa to reach Mar del Plata on Argentina’s east coast. Finally to Tandil on the way to Buenos Aires.
The road trip from Cochrane to Chaitén on Chile’s famous Carretera Austral. Tiny villages, turquoise rivers, and lakes. Mountains with huge glaciers and ice fields.
