The bus ride from Bariloche to El Chalten was the absolute longest of our entire trip so far, it took 22 hours! The distances in this country are truly incredible. A 6-hour trip...

From Puerto Madryn we drove to Bariloche, which is a bit nonsensical because Bariloche is a bit further north. However, Bariloche is a good choice because it has the best bus...

Another 18-hour bus ride took us to Puerto Madryn. Already at the bus station in BA we met Greg and Axel from Belgium, who were wandering around like us, faced with the fact...

An 18-hour bus ride brought us to Mendoza. Mendoza is by far the ugliest of all the Argentine cities we visited. Besides 5 plazas, 4 of which are smaller plazas around the main...

It was a long journey to Salta, the trip took about 12 hours. However, it was more than pleasant because we booked a very comfortable suite-class bus for the very first time on...

The bus trip from Rosario to Cordoba is "only" 6 hours, we were told. These people probably didn't realize that you can cross the whole of Switzerland twice in 6 hours. But...

Getting from Fray Bentos directly to Rosario, without detouring through Buenos Aires, turned out to be more complicated than expected. First, we had to take a bus to the...

We really wanted to go to Fray Bentos in Uruguay. Since we didn't have enough time to go directly from Colonia or Montevideo between Christmas and New Year, we took the more...

Am Silvestertag 2018 fuhren wir mit der Fähre nach Buenos Aires. Wir hatten uns vielerorts erkundigt, wo man in BA am besten den Silvesterabend verbringt, und alle Leute sagten...

When you arrive by ferry in Colonia, you would never think that there is a city here. From the outside, it almost seems like a forest with only a few buildings protruding. In...

While I quickly zoomed home, Jörg stayed in Uruguay and took a Spanish course here to deepen his knowledge. Afterwards, we decided to spend the Christmas holidays in Montevideo....

It was time for a little relaxation on the beach, so we went to Punta del Este, which is considered one of the most exclusive holiday resorts in South America and the most...

On the next day, we took a break from waterfalls because it was Monday, and we had booked a special tour of the Itaipu Dam. However, we had to go back to Paraguay for that. We...

So we drove to Ciudad del Este, which is located at the tri-border area between Paraguay, Brazil, and Argentina. And thus the odyssey of passport stamps would begin. First of...

It was slowly time to return to Asuncion to return the rental car. However, we made a few more stops along the way. First, we drove to San Cosme y Damian, where there was...

From Villarrica we drove to Encarnacion the next morning. The hotels in the city center were all unaffordable, so we booked accommodation a little outside. Thanks to our car,...

The bus ride from Concepcion to Asuncion took about 7 hours and was uneventful. In Asuncion, the hotel nightmare continued. Originally, we had booked a room in a hostel at a...

The Pantanal Shuttle then took us from the Jungle Lodge to Bonito. Bonito was not actually on our to-do list, in fact, we hadn't even heard of it until a few days ago. An...

Nach der langen Rumpelfahrt mit dem Zug nahmen wir uns ein Taxi zur Grenze zwischen dem bolivianischen Quijarro und Corumba in Brasilien. Nachdem die Grenzformalitäten...

It's funny how on such a trip small "mini-projects" develop that weren't even intended at the beginning. to Vallegrande we came to follow in the footsteps of an old...

In Santa Cruz there is absolutely nothing to see, and accordingly little to report. It was hot here, extremely hot, and we had to get used to it again because it would continue...
