Brazil’s Period of Carnival Crazyness – and Beyond
It’s the craziest time of the year in Brasil: carnival. We attempt to survive it in Curitiba and Morretes. Then off to Ilhabela. To relax on some beaches.
Brazil’s South Coast’n’the Remnants of the German Heritage
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.
From Iguazú to Bom Jardim da Serra – Brazil’s South
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.
In Paraguay
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.
On the Way to Paraguay
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.
Getting Ready to Drive Beyond Ushuaia
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
Chile – Still Struggling to Overcome Its Recent History
All you need to know while overlanding Chile. And much more.
Out of South America
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.
