For a while now, Marie’s travel dream is to see the antic
city of the Machu Picchu.
David’s aim on the other hand is to go to Ushuaia, the most southern
city of the World.
Good thing these two are on the same continent. And we have
never been to South America. So let’s go !
Wedding Organization finalized as we wanted and Marie’s Phd
in the pocket, here is the right time to do it ! Let travel from Ushuaia
to Macchu Pucchu !
According to different prices and dates, we decided to fly
from Paris to Rio and a return from Lima to Paris. Here are the detours !
The preparation part has been pretty… quick. After booking
the long flights, we booked the internal flights in Argentina. Distances are so
huge that it is difficult to do everyhting by bus (but we had to take some… we will
come to that later !).
So before leaving, we booked a flight to see the Iguazu
Falls, Buenos Aires, the patagonia area and the white triangle in the North of
Argentina. The rest of the travel (Perou and Bolivia), we’ll see it once we get
there, according to the weather and changing plans. It will be mainly buses and
hostels, so pretty flexible.
Here is a global picture of our
travel and then a description for each part.
