Central & South America 2005

Welcome to our Site!

At last, after what seems like years of dreaming and planning, we are finally off on our big adventure to explore Central and South America.

Having moved out of our house in January and temporarily moved back home, things are finally coming together and we are now on the countdown to our departure.

Leaving on the 1st of April (yes we know!) we head for Mexico City where for 3 nights we will be staying in a hotel before heading out in to the unknown!

The itinerary from here is Belize, Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina and finally Brazil in time for Carnival!

We hope you will enjoy our journey and keep in touch along the way!
