I’ve been on the road for over 4 months (since Oct 29), and in South America for the last two. So far, I’ve covered the southern regions (shown in green on map): Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, and the Falkland Islands. (Technically, I’ve been to Brazil also, but only briefly in Iguazu Falls, so I’m not counting it for the moment).
Tomorrow morning, I set off on a 33-hour bus trip from Santiago Chile to Bolivia, where I’ll be exploring the Salt Flats and La Paz. Then on to Machu Picchu, Peru, and Ecuador, with a side trip to Galapagos Islands. Also hoping to add a tour through the Amazon rain forest at some point.
The adventure continues!

I’m stealing this.
Go for it Beverly.
Glad to hear you are still a recycled teenager and doing the back packer trails and adventures. Thanks for taking us with you. The ship adventure is next year I take it you are not going to join the Villa Vie cruise to saile the seas for 3 and a half years then.
No Villa Vie for me. Too much lingering baggage with that group.
My most favorite trip was Ecuador, the Amazon, Peru & Machu Picchu. Then Morocco. Have a fantastic trip!!
I remember you talking about your Machu Picchu trip, way back.
You made fresh lemonade as I knew you would. Enjoy your adventure.
Hi Rami – definitely trying to squeeze those lemons for everything I can get! I am now considering this cruise – have you seen it, and any chance you might be on it? A neutral party, with none of the baggage:

Enjoy your adventure in the Northern part of this country!
Thanks Sharon, and thanks for coming along with me on the journey.
Are you still traveling with your companions, or are you now on your own?
I’m back to traveling solo!
Ohhh _ I can’t wait !!!!!!!!!
Thank you, my most loyal commenter!
Wonderful! You know, my parents and I almost immigrated to Argentina because the US visa was not coming through. If so you may have wound up there as well. South America is the continuent I know the least about so nice to get your travelogues. Gilce, our Brazilian housemate is still here but going back this year. She’s invited Sierra to visit. Keep traveling and be safe.
Tereska, I remember that. What a different life that would have been for us both. I had not traveled around South America either, so I’m happy to have this opportunity to do so.
