We have finished our trip and are safely back home now. We went through our notes and gathered some info and statistics to wrap up the trip. We had some fantastic moments over the last three months and stayed in truly amazing places. Some of the best places we would like to mention here. We met as well some interesting and lovely people along the way (we are bad in sending emails tough) which were often even longer on their way trough South America - some by car, some by motorbike or even bicycle. We have seen spectacular things and enjoyed every day of our trip. Of course there are always things you don't like, one of it was certainly the quite high entrance prices to parks with non Mercosul citizens paying not seldom double the fee. Compared to European entrance prices, these seem to be often a bit over the top.
