Paraguay Summary
Paraguay was a hard country…not because it was terrible, but because we were trapped there waiting for parts the entire time, both times we were there. We came here because we broke down in Argentina, and it would’ve been terrible expensive to get help there, so we left. Days in Country: 38 Miles Driven: 1112…

Day 814: January 27, 2026
ODO: 357,851 For the fist time in a long time, it is a delightful temperature outside. In fact, it’s borderline chilly! Last night we even used our lightweight blanket, and neither of us has sweat through our clothes in the last twenty four hours. We’re comfortable. Today is the day we start the long flight…

Day 807: January 20, 2026
ODO: 357,851 A quick morning walk is how we start our day before packing and moving on. We are six days out from our flight to the US, so we are all driving all the time. But first! We Need to fix the misfire. Because the hotel parking lot didnt work out, we head for…

Day 800: January 13,2025
ODO: 356,372 Oooooo wee, we wake up slow. Today’s adventure is to drive to a coastal town known for its snorkeling, so fingers crossed. Once we arrive in the town, we know this place is not for us. The vibe is really weird, there is no beach, and everything feels sketchy. After doing a quick…

Day 793: January 6, 2026
ODO: 355,757 New Year’s Eve day, and time to head to the right Jericoacoara. We take the sand road in from the east. It’s a road marked out along the beach, so timing the tides is important. Half way down the road, the driver side shock starts screaming again. With nothing to be done about…

Day 786: December 30, 2025
ODO: 354992 Ahhh, another lovely day on the Amazonia IV. We’re in a smaller channel of the Amazon river as we cut across to Belem. Originally we were concerned the boat might head out into the ocean to reach our destination, so this is a welcome discovery. Our trip has been entirely unplugged, which we…

Day 779: December 23, 2025
ODO: 354,067 Why are we in a major city in the middle of the Amazon jungle? Berne saw it on the map, did some research and found out it’s a very major city that is very difficult to get to. So here we are, recovering from multiple, long days of hard driving. It took us…

Day 772: December 16, 2025
ODO: 353,986 We can leave the hotel today! Our big plan is to find a tour that will take us to see the giant river otters that live in the area (well, kind of generally in the Amazon). After getting some cash, we decide its too hot out, and we’re not fully ready for this…

Day 765: December 9, 2025
ODO: 352,665 Back in the campground, we settle into the rhythm of things. Around 7am Europeans start yell talking to each other. At 7:45am a train sounds its horn for a very long time. Between 8-9am a lady walks her cat on a leash through the trees at the back of the campground. Between 9:30-10am…

Day 758: December 2, 2025
ODO: 352,162 Morning in the dome is a 270 degree view of mountains. Solid start to the day. After a quick, homemade breakfast, we’re off to see an attraction on our Cusco tourist ticket: Chinchero. It’s a set of ruins in a town known for keeping historic textile traditions alive. Compared to what we’ve already…
