Long hops on large country roads
From Agua Caliente we went to San Rafael, where we encountered the changes due to the Corona Virus for the first time. We partly drove the way to Tres Arroyos in long stages until [...]
The sidesteps are the high lights
Our way north in Neuquén basically follows Ruta 40. Often, however, we drive smaller, more or less parallel paths deeper in the Andes and lots of side steps that lead us to wonderful places. [...]
Hard, demanding paths
Basically, this part of Patagonia is extremely touristy and the infrastructure is developed accordingly. The side trips away from Ruta 40 are, however, sometimes demanding and worthwhile. We also “had to” use Ernstli because [...]
The southernmost part of Route 40
After Antarctica, our route more or less follows Ruta 40 to the north. This old road is mostly paved today and passes some tourist highlights. We almost started the Ruta 40 at Rio Gallegos [...]

The vastness of the Andes

4’000 km through Uruguay
We traveled extensively in Uruguay. For the 176'215 km2 we took the time for over 30 days. The roads are usually in very good condition and many are tarred. We drove more than 4'000 km [...]
Globi goes to South America
In Antwerp we could drive onto the ship ourselves. Then it went to Hamburg and from there without any further stops along the European and African coast to Cape Verde, across the Atlantic to the [...]
