South America
in  1994

I did not travel much after returning from Central America in 1993 but in October of that year I grabbed my backpack and left to explore South America.

In the next six months, I followed the route shown on the map and visited: Venezuela,   Colombia,   Ecuador (Quito),   Ecuador (Sud),   Peru (North),   Peru (Chavin),   Peru (Lima),   Peru (Colca),   Peru (Cuzco),   Peru (Machu Picchu),   Bolivia (La Paz),   Bolivia (Coroico),   Chile (North),   Chile (Center),   Argentina (Lakes),   Chile (South),   Argentina,   Paraguay,   Uruguay,   Brazil (Brasilia) and Brazil (Rio de Janeiro).

I continue developing this site for the pleasure of sharing the joys of discovery with you. Meeting wonderful people of all skin colours, ethnic origins and beliefs has inspired me to set up the Humanist Foundation of Quebec to promote critical thinking and intercultural tolerance.
