About this blog

I'm intending broadly to do an anticlockwise loop of South America. Starting in Buenos Aires this July, I will travel up to Rio, through Brazil and the Amazon rainforest, and then up through Venezuala to reach Caracas. Next, I'll fly into Colombia, before spending some time in Ecuador (taking in the Galapagos Islands on the way). A leg travelling down south through Peru and Bolivia and will continue on right down through Chile and Argentina to Ushuaia at the Southern tip of South America. Finally, I'll return North to BA, before heading back into Brazil for the Salvador and Rio Carnivals in February that will mark the end of my trip!
