The cul­min­a­tion of a 15-year dream Uruguay por el mundo is a con­tinu­ing trip around the world by three lads in an old Cit­röen Mehari. A father and his two sons bound by an exper­i­ence few other fam­il­ies have or will ever experience.

Two years, eleven months, traveled over 30 coun­tries includ­ing Uruguay, Argen­tina, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Colom­bia, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Hon­duras, El Sal­vador, Mex­ico, United States, Canada, Spain, Por­tugal, France, Eng­land , Aus­tria, Ger­many, Neth­er­lands, Rep, Slov­akia, Hun­gary, Italy, Slov­e­nia, Croa­tia, Montenegro, Albania, Greece, Bul­garia, Tur­key, Iran, Pakistan, India, Aus­tralia … .… Este sueño loco no ter­mina queda mucho cam­ino por recor­rer……  Indone­sia, Malasia, Laos, Viet­nam, Cam­boya, África….. This crazy dream does not end a long way to go … … Indone­sia, Malay­sia, Laos, Viet­nam, Cam­bodia, Africa … .. y de alguna forma llegar a casa and some­how get home

I had the priv­iledge of meet­ing these dar­ing gen­tle­men tonight and their present­a­tion and stor­ies are truly an inspir­a­tion. They’re liv­ing the life I crave — and will hope­fully ulti­mately achieve.

Mario, Matias and Ismael — wel­come to South Africa!

I wish you well on your con­tinu­ing trip and ulti­mately your return home.

With a long way to go still and their reli­ance on dona­tions they are still in need. If you think you’d like to con­trib­ute to this epic adven­ture, visit their web­site (lis­ted above).

Hasta luego!
