This was the fourth phase of the
Around-the-World driving expedition of the World of Wonders
Project. Read about our
satellite-linked expedition
that took place from December 10 to February 15, 2006. This phase
found us driving 5,400 miles (8,710 km) across South America from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to Coyhaique,
Chile. This phase concentrated on the countries along
the southern edge of South America focusing on the Patagonia
Region.
Learn about the outdoor culture that is
unique to this region and visit with the
people of these countries. View the animal and bird life in
the jungle wetlands in Argentina, dive with the sea life in the
Southern Atlantic Ocean and climb into the mountains and glaciers
of Patagonia. The natural environment was the main focus of
this expedition.
This expedition was in memory of our sister,
Karen Olson, who lost her battle with breast cancer October 18,
2005.
