After taking a month at home in Saskatchewan through October, I am heading to South America. Currently I am in Toronto’s Pearson International Airport on my way via Washington, D.C., to São Paulo, Brazil. This will start a bit over six weeks in the Southern hemisphere to some countries I haven’t been to.
My first stop is Brazil for the first week. I am hoping to split the time between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. During this time I may do some some day trips out of the cities to explore some of the nearby sites.
Then I am heading to Argentina. For the past decade I have thought about doing a G Adventures tour called the “End of the Earth” that starts in Buenos Aires before doing some hiking in the Argentina and Chilean Patagonian mountains and then heading to the southern end of the continent to visit Ushuaia. I am looking forward to this two week adventure.
After this I am planning to cross the Bay of Guanabara to see some of Uruguay before heading northwest to Iguazu Falls on the borders of Paraguay, Brazil, and Argentina. From here I hope to explore Paraguay and continue on to Bolivia. A week before Christmas I am hoping to return to Canada for Christmas.
