On Friday, November 30, we crossed the border into Brazil. This was one of the longer crossings we have had in South America as the Brazilian side was a bit less organized than we would have liked, but we were in and sipping on caipirinhas before we knew it. Details on the process are on […]
After four laid-back weeks in Chile, we crossed the Paso Cardenal Antonio Samoré border and entered Argentina on November 15. This was our easiest crossing yet with both sides taking a total of 15 minutes and quite scenic as it was in the north of the Patagonia region. Details on the procedure are on our […]
Leaving Oruro on the morning we were to cross the border was quite stressful. We had a 3-hour ride ahead of us and a near-empty gas tank. I ranted about getting gas as a foreigner in Bolivia in my last post and this morning was the prime example of why. We were sent away from […]
We have a new video up on our YouTube channel where we share our travels through the incredible country of Bolivia. With a rockin’ soundtrack and our choreography fail, why would you NOT drop everything to watch it? Enjoy, subscribe, and share! 🙂
We headed to the city of Uyuni for our last weekend in Bolivia as we intended to visit the famous salt flat nearby. Despite being the most touristy city in Bolivia, Uyuni was far from impressive. It was just as filthy as the rest of the country (Bolivia is keeping up with Peru in the […]
On Tuesday, October 2, we had a 2-hour ride from the town of Puno to the border crossing for Bolivia. We stopped on the way to take a look at Lake Titicaca, but we didn’t have a good viewpoint and just our cell phones so we didn’t the greatest picture. Boo hoo for us. Lake […]

Monday was a great day to visit the 15th-century Inca citadel that has countless numbers of foreigners visiting Peru for. We knew we would be going to Machu Picchu since the inception of this trip and after 420 days on the road, we made it. Yes, it is heavy on the tourist traffic; however, it […]
After two weeks of dormancy, it was time to hit the road again. Next stop was in the city of Ica, around 4 hours from Lima. The plan was to visit the nearby Huacachina, Peru’s “oasis in the desert” that is around 5 kilometers away from where we stopped. Huacachina is a little village built […]
Riding into Lima was, quite possibly, our most stressful arrival upon a city on this trip so far. I have ranted about Peruvian drivers being certifiably insane and Lima, being the capital city, seems to be a cesspool of the worst drivers imaginable. Not only did it seem like everyone on the road was trying […]
