Death road of Bolivia! 200 to 300 travellers killed yearly on this 35 miles (56 km) of dirt road in the Yungas region of Bolivia before a new road finally completed in 2007. We, of course had to drive it. Lots and lots of crosses on the side of the road!! . Follow us at : Facebook/driventowander...

Tougher than Tough Mudder!!! With Indigo on my back that is. We hiked 10 km from 14700 ft (4500m) to 16400 ft (5000m) to reach Rainbow Mountain (Montaña de Siete Colores) in Peruvian Andes. Lack of oxygen at this altitude makes every uphill step fairly strenuous. Ausangate Glacier on the right...

Out of all the places to see in South America, Machu Picchu probably is at the top of anyone's list. We were nervous about the crowds, the hype, and expensive tickets but it was all worth it. What a glorious place. It is surrounded by most spectacular scenery you can imagine. . Follow us at ...

Most visitors take a 4 hours train ride from Cusco to Machu Picchu. We wanted to something different. We drove dirt back roads and hiked on the train tracks to reach one of the most amazing ruins we have seen.

Cusco, Peru.

You never know what you are going to find in Peru!

A Little Bit of Belize - Part III We headed for our last campsite in Belize which was just a stone's throw from the Guatemala border in San Ignacio. The drive there was easy, except we were surprised to hear the engine pulling so hard up hills, after only hearing the hum of the engine on the...

A Little Bit of Belize - Part II After visiting, we stayed at the Belize Tropical Education Center, which is an extension of the Belize Zoo. Students and travellers can stay in the lodge here or camp. Their program is known worldwide, and we met many people from other countries who traveled...

A Little Bit of Belize - Part I _D7K6623[/url'] We greeted Belize, the smallest of the countries we've visited, and one we almost skipped, with mixed feelings. The first shock upon entering, after spending almost 1/2 a year in Mexico, was hearing English! I kept thinking this whole...

Hello Family and Goodbye Mexico - Part II We eventually arrived at the campsite unscathed. What a view of the lake, it was perfect! Carmen and Mike decided the tent was a bit too uncomfortable, and stayed in one of the casitas at the campsite. The kids immediately headed for the swings in...

Hello Family and Goodbye Mexico - Part I It’s Family Time! Finally, we were going to have family come join us! We really wanted to have any and all family along for our adventure, but obviously it’s not easy for folks to arrange leaving their day to day life and jump on a plane. Also, we...

We have never felt this alone! On the way to Chauchilla Cemetery to see mummified human remains & artifacts, we drove on a terrain so remote and deserted, it felt like another planet. Only thing reminded us we are still on earth was scattered human bones of Nasca People who flourished from c...

Thanks Jack, I do have a secondary fuel filtering system, Fass Titanium. #6 has been acting since Colombia. I wanted to change then but I could not stomach paying $1400 for one and wait 10 days to get it. I have been waiting for friends or family to come and join us so they can bring one. As of...

Other side of the coin.... They say, it is not an adventure till things go wrong! We have been on the road 22 months, from Vancouver to Peru without any breakdowns. Our clean record came to an end Friday the 13th in the middle of nowhere in Peru when one of the fuel injectors, #6, stopped...

We traveled from the snowy peaks of Cordillera Blanca to an oasis in the desert. Had a blast climbing and running down on the sand dunes of Ica, Peru. . . Follow us at : Facebook/driventowander Instagram/driventowander www.DrivenToWander.com

There are more than 50 peaks of 18700 ft (5700 m) or higher in the Cordilleras of Peruvian Andes. In contrast, the whole North American continent has only three. Yesterday we dropped the camper and drove up some crazy switchback dirt roads to 15400 ft (4700 m) on Laguna 69. It is nice to put the...

Difficult to answer. Biggest reason we are on this adventure is to spend more time with him, instead him being raised by a nanny while we worked long hours. If we were just two of us, we would have done more challenging stuff like multi day hikes. But kids are adored in Latin America like no...
