Majestic Araucaria Trees & Magnificent Rivers

Still in Argentina – magnificent rivers (Aluminé & Agrio), beautiful lakes, awesome cloud formations and the majestic Araucaria (Monkey Puzzle) trees.

Hello & Welcome

Meet Yasha and Juergen. Our travel blog is atypical because we travel differently, not flying from one dream destination to the next. Our choice instead: to take it slowly, take side roads, discover places aside from the typical "bucket list" and guidebook highlights. We drive and live in our self-built overland camper, called [~~"Berta"~~] "Bertita" (little Berta since 2018 in Europe). You can read more on our "About Us" page.

We love sharing our impressions and knowledge gained along the way. You will find a wealth of information on our site, especially if you love road trips. So stay around and explore with us!
