South America – here we come!

(Malmö, Sweden, 21st of August 2017)

OK then, next place to visit, South America!

We leave on the 15th of September for Cartagena in Colombia and get back to Sweden from Rio the Janeiro on the 14th of December, (just in time to get all set for Christmas at home.)

Our plan for this trip was to travel very “light” so we recently got us two 40 litres backpacks to keep down the volume and weight of our luggage, and that alone has almost turned out to be a mission impossible as we since then have added pretty advanced hiking and, accompanying that, cold weather, to our travel plan, meaning we need to bring sturdy hiking boots and enough clothes to keep us warm when we get up above 4000 mtrs altitude. But we are optimistic about this and believe that we finally will manage to get down to a total “carry-on weight” under 10 kilograms per person. (And that is including Christels Yoga mat!)

We will start our trip in the north, in Colombia, and then we get around the continent more or less following the west coast all the way down before we start heading up towards Brazil and Rio on the East coast.

Below is our route, however, the stops are just an idea of where we could go and in what order to do it. By experience we get new ideas  on where to go while travelling making us ending up in places we did not even know existed! (And that is what travelling is all about!)
