South America Overlanding

Two and a half years pottering around South America… here’s what we found, country by country. The story started life as a single blog-page for the whole of overlanding South America continent, but it all got a bit stressful… we’ve had to break it down a bit 🙂   There is so much here that it’s impossible to pick out highlights, but we tried to have a go with our interactive map of ‘best bits’. Let us know what you think…

Above are links to our travels in every country of the South American continent except the sad case of Venezuela. It was a tough decision for us to miss this country. When we exited Guyana back in to Brazil we were just over 100km away from the border crossing to Venezuela. After talking to several of the many thousands of Venezuelans fleeing into northern Brazil, we decided that now is not the right time. Maybe one day we’ll be able to take Cuthbert there…
