    AN Antarctica Chilean Carretera Austral to Coyhaique

    Maybe Brazil is more difficult to be visited, but I encourage all overlanders to try it. At least a few places, since Brazil is as big as it is distinct in their habits and culture in its different regions. It is definitely a complex country!

    Overland Hound

    This guy lives alone in a ghost town at the top of the Andes Mountains! It's intriguing! He lived there with a friend (another dog) until the pandemic started. After that, his friend died and is still there mummified. In perfect conditions. He's totally skittish. It didn't come close to me. But...
