Traveling South America with a Toddler
We started: Leon, Sara and I on a journey through South America. With a stopover via Sao Paolo in Brazil, it goes to Asuncion in Paraguay. From there we start our tour with a converted camper across the continent up to Colombia!
This is an old Toyota Hiace from 1996.
It’s still in good shape and is getting an update from us both inside and out for a trip off the beaten track and suitable for a small family. In addition to a new interior, a larger kitchen and additional batteries and tanks, it also received a roof rack, solar panels with the corresponding power distribution in the car, a snorkel and larger tires. The more precise specifications can be found here!
