    For the first time on this expedition we are "stuck". We are currently in Playa de Colan, Peru and are waiting for the reopening of the border with Ecuador, which is currently closed due to parliamentary elections and is expected to reopen on 11.02.2024. We hope to be able to enter Ecuador without major problems, although a week ago the border crossing was done (according to information from other overlanders) in about six hours...

    In the small resort of Playa del Colan we chose a camping option at "Conzulado 96", a small five-room hotel that also offers the possibility of camping next to the hotel's small swimming pool. The owners of the hotel, a mixed Uruguayan-Peruvian couple, are wonderful people, I have rarely encountered such generosity. Not only did they greet us with great joy upon arrival and with a cold welcome beer, but the next day they invited us to a delicious Uruguayan-style barbecue lunch. On several occasions we had dinner together and told stories about our adventurous travels, about South America and current politics... These encounters with special people make our South American trip truly remarkable, not the number of snapshots captured or the "must-see" places we visited.    Læs mere
