Details are on our Border Crossings page for all […]
The border crossing from Brazil to Uruguay was reasonably fast, but we did lose more time than needed because we accidentally entered Uruguay before exiting Brazil so we had to go back before proceeding.

The two towns have had a long-standing dispute over who owns this rock so it is currently known by two […]
Before delving into our favourite places in Central America, I would like to call attention to the fact (as obvious as it may be) that everyone travels differently.
