Description

OVERLAND TO SOUTH AMERICA BY PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION describes a 9,000 mile journey the author made from the United States to Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1964. He made the entire trip overland by buses and trains, except for a short air hop over the Darien region of Panama and Colombia, where there was no road across. The fares for the buses, trains, and air hop totaled $199.Although prices have risen dramatically since then and now as this book is published for the first time in 2015, the journey detailed in this book remains one of the cheapest and most fascinating overland routes in the world.The author continued traveling overland from Buenos Aires to Montevideo, Uruguay, and then northward in Brazil to Rio de Janeiro and finally to Brasilia.His return to the United States was by air with a long stopover in Manaus, Brazil.This was a defining and life changing journey for the author, and a similar trip following the same routes detailed in this book can still be made today.
