A leisurely Central South America Family Vanlife Round Trip (2025)
A leisurely Central South America Family Vanlife Round Trip
We’ve set off: Leon, Sara, and I on a trip through South America. Again! We’re starting in Asunción, Paraguay, with our sturdy campervan, Dusty! It’s a 1996 Toyota Hiace, which took us all the way to Colombia two years ago.
We’ll cross Paraguay at a rapid pace heading east, crossing the border into Brazil again at Ciudad del Este and reaching the Brazilian coast, which we haven’t yet seen, as quickly as possible. We’ll explore it, then head to Argentina and explore its northern region before returning to Paraguay and completing the circle.
Dusty for rent/sale!
