Brazil

Welcome to Brazil!
Bem-vindo ao Brasil!

Originally, Brazil was not on our itinerary for South America. However, as circumstances can change, we decided to make a detour to the Portuguese-speaking country. We thought we would only need Spanish as a foreign language on our trip to Latin America – far from it. In purely geographical terms, Brazil is huge, taking up almost half of the entire continent of South America. For that it is only natural that we should come into contact with Brazil.
Brazil has the greatest biodiversity in South America, ahead of Colombia. We are very interested in this diversity and are looking forward to it. Due to its turbulent past, strongly influenced by the European colonial powers, the ethnic diversity in Brazil is high. We expect an interesting mix of cultures and a lively hustle and bustle.

Let’s go – Brazil awaits us! Our Brazilian experiences are summarized below in our various blog posts.

Chiloé Island

We like island life, so we would also like to visit an island in Chile. It's not as easy as with the island of Chiloé in the rest of Chile, so we get on the ferry and cross over. The island of Chiloé is the fifth largest island in the whole of South America and is...

Next, we make a short detour over from Chile to Argentina. We are very close to the northern border of the world-famous Patagonia region. The landscape is still dotted with dense forests, clear deep blue lakes and rugged mountain peaks. We really like this combination...
