Finally, we’re back on another road trip with the van – this time heading to Southeast of Europe. A quick trip thru Austria, then on to Hungary. Lots of history here, but not exactly packed with real adventures.
A visit to the remnants of the grim past of French-German relations over the past 150 years. Some villages as kitschy as they come, and a visit to the birthplace of French Champagne.
2000 km thru Argentina’s Chaco/Pampa, from the Andes in the West to Puerto Iguazú in the northeastern part. Not really an impressive landscape, but still 1 or 2 interesting places along the way. Then back to Swizzyland.
Argentia’s Andean highland – the Puna – a fascinating landscape in the north of the country. Remote, wild, and often a little bit complicated to visit. More about it in this post.
The journey from Salta to the Valley of Calchaquíes. To the villages of Cachi and Cafayate. Then on to Santa Maria – the gateway to Argentina’s Puna.
Our journey from Bolivia’s capital, Sucre to Potosi, and Uyuni, to finally reach Tupiza. A trip thru fascinating highlands, often above 4000m. Then onwards to Salta in Argentina.
Leaving western Brazil to visit Bolivia’s lowlands and then up to Sucre. The country’s proud capital. A journey thru a vastly different world: Bolivia’s Chiquitqnia with the Jesuit Trail, Samaipata at the edge of the Andes, and finally the drive to Sucre.
The long journey from Minas Gerais to the Pantanal. Diamantina, another mining village. Brasilia, the proud capital. Then thru endless agricultural land to Campo Grande and Bonito in the southern part of the Pantanal.
Out of Rio de Janeiro, on the way to Minas Gerais. Brazil’s mining area. A journey thru fascinating towns that accumulated immense wealth during Brazil’s gold rush. Then on to the proud capital of Belo Horizonte.
