Yes, it's time. Today we handed over Egon at the harbor. The last few days we have been packing, cleaning, repairing and selling. Since the ship of the shipping company caught...

Yes, the second round of Uruguay has started. We are taking the same tour that we took in November. We really liked the coast, but unfortunately, the weather is worse this time....

Yes, that caught us by surprise again. After the guys left, we noticed that we don't have much time left. Additionally, we are trying to sell Egon here to other travelers, as it...

As there wasn't much going on in Guarda do Embaú, we went back to the island. But this time to the center of Campeche. Campeche is actually the right size, there's something...

This small town was recommended to us by a surfer. Everyone on the island also raved about it. Unfortunately, Guarda is a small resort village where only the supermarket and 1-2...

Back to São Paulo to pick up our Egon after going to Rio de Janeiro. Then, after another day of driving, we arrived on the island of Florianópolis. We found a nice vacation...

A day before the guys flew off, they realized that Rio de Janeiro is also beautiful and they want to go there. So, they quickly changed their plans, rented a car, parked Egon at...

We had a few more days before we had to pick up our visitors in São Paulo. We used the time to go surfing. The first surf spot had perfect conditions: it was safe, had parking...

Finally coastal air! Arrived on the Brazilian coast, our first stop was Paraty. Here, the Portuguese built beautiful small white houses. In front of Paraty, there are a bunch of...

We are currently on the way to São Paulo. It is 1,500 km through endless pasture land in Brazil. It reminds us a little of the interior of Uruguay, farm after farm and pasture...

Nice (Spanish for beautiful) truly lives up to its name. This is where the rich and beautiful vacation, and us. From here, you can visit underground lakes, caves, and water...

Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to make it to Colombia, so we decided to drive back to Montevideo through Brazil. From there, we will ship our Egon back home. On the...

Yes, he took his time, but the parental leave in Bolivia seems to have paid off. After we had to order the parts for the clutch from the USA, the workshop kicked it into high...

Wow! What a difference. In the city with 8.5 million inhabitants, it is very western. The houses are 'normal' built, it is clean and the people also drive normal for Peruvian...

Paracas is a protected coastal area and is also known as the Galapagos of Peru. With a chaotic and poorly organized tour, we visited the nature reserve from Pisco. First, we...

Everything in Peru west of the Andes is desert. In Ica, a heap of sand has accumulated. In the district of Huacachina, there are huge sand dunes and a small lagoon in the...

And back in cold Cusco again. Cusco was and still is the Inca capital, so it has a bunch of ruins and monuments here too. We would have liked to see more, but first Jonas got...

THE highlight of any visit to Peru. It won't surprise you: the Inca ruins are of course highly commercialized. The only 'official' way from Cusco to Machu Picchu is by train. If...

Inti Raymi, the Inca Festival of the Sun, is celebrated every year on June 24th. On this date, according to the Inca calendar, the solstice occurs. The Inca belief was deeply...

The Colca Canyon is the second deepest canyon in the world, even deeper than the Grand Canyon. Therefore, we thought it would be fun to hike down and back up. Our tour started...

The second largest city in Peru is located in the middle of 3 volcanoes: Misti (5822 m), Chachani (6057 m), and Picchu Picchu (5665 m). Most of the buildings in the city were...

After a 24-hour bus ride, we arrived in Copacabana on Lake Titicaca. And that means: back to inhuman heights (3,800 meters). The sun is burning like crazy, it's still cold, lips...

Yes, unfortunately we are still stuck here. On Saturday, the car was finally 'ready'. The boss of our original workshop told us to drive as much as possible. Well, after 20...

Yes, this is already a long process with this repair. After we came back from our trip to Rurrenabaque and La Paz, nothing really happened. We were a bit disappointed because...

Tiwanaku is the second most important Inca site in Bolivia (the first being El Fuerte where we also visited). Unusually for an Inca site, it is not located on a mountain but in...

After 3 weeks at 'normal' altitudes, we were a bit concerned about going back to 4000 - 3600 meters above sea level. Fortunately, our bodies remembered these conditions and we...

After a nice breakfast, we were driven to the park entrance by car for 3 hours on a very bad road. These cars also take people from the Pampa Tour back home, so there was quite...

6 exciting days lie behind us, but let's start from the beginning. We took the night bus from Santa Cruz to Trinidad in 12 hours. Once in Trinidad, you have to take a...

After the engine repair holds further surprises for us, the alternative to buying an engine here becomes more and more attractive. So let's go on a motor search. As I said,...
