An adventurous year comes to an end.

Zoe was born in Argentina and just one month after her birth we moved back into our home on wheels. With a few small modifications and a lot of care we slowly began our new life as a family of three and learned to reshape everyday life on the road. For the first few months we took things easy: we spent time with friends near Buenos Aires and then drove leisurely through Uruguay.

Because we already knew several places there, the travel routine was uncomplicated – and we could fully concentrate on the beautiful nature and the sights, without having to plan as elaborately as usual.

From Uruguay we continued through southern Brazil. There we experienced wild mountain landscapes, remote beaches, small fishing villages and vibrant cities. A particular highlight was the visit to the Mercedes-Benz plant in São Bernardo do Campo, where trucks and engines are manufactured. In Paraguay we camped by rivers, visited centuries-old ruins and walked along lagoons with caimans. 

Finally we returned to Argentina – to a region we had not visited before. In the province of Corrientes, we were impressed by Iberá National Park, which protects a vast wetland and where we encountered a fascinating array of wildlife. One big highlight is still on our list before we wrap up Argentina – but more on that later.
