Overview

We start where we last left the vehicles—Bogotá, Colombia. The first destination is Venezuela. We hear a lot of negativity about the country and decide not to spend more than a week there. There's Mérida, Caracas, and the Grand Savanna calling. Angel Valley is likely beyond our budget. After Venezuela, the next target is Guyana. It's a Caribbean country in South America. To travel there, one must take a detour through Brazil. A highlight should be Suriname. South Africa and Suriname both have strong ties with the Netherlands. Speaking Dutch with descendants of slaves from Africa should be very interesting. And then – Brazil, the giant of South America. The goal is to sail with the Amazon River to the coast, and from there, proceed south along the coast for almost two months. This is the country where we will spend by far the most time. It's a fitting conclusion to our South American Trilogy. The journey will end where it began three years ago – in Uruguay.
