Hello family and friends!
As many of you know, Scott and I are leaving tomorrow on our honeymoon/ “last hurrah” trip to South America. We set up this blog so that we can keep in touch with everyone and attempt to preserve our memories of this experience.
The map to the right has our rough itinerary:
We start in Peru, visit Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca and other destinations in the Andes Mountains. From there, make our way south through Chile and Argentina, visiting the desert highlands, salt plains and smaller colonial towns. Once reaching Santiago, fly to the Patagonia lakes region of Argentina, Mendoza and then on to southern Patagonia for four or more weeks of camping and trekking. Moving back north along the Atlantic side, make our way to Buenos Aires, Argentina and Montevideo, Uruguay and try to take in a little South American culture. Move further north into Brazil, including Rio and the Amazon rainforest , a possible stop in French Guiana and the Guiana Amazonian Park, before landing in Trinad for Carnival. Then, one last stop in Curacao for some beaches and R&R before heading home!
As always, we intend to go very low budget, using hotel points and airline miles where possible, staying in cheap hostels and eating the local cuisine (trying to limit our impulse binges on McDonalds!).
Please stay in touch through email, posting on our blog or skype! (skype id: sjwyckoff)
We will miss everyone dearly!!
Take good care,
Jen and Scott
Please remember to pick up that package from my friend Jose in Colombia. Remember, you can not look inside the package and please do not get it wet or feed it after midnight.
