Wandering Peso

Wandering Peso Wandering Peso is our overland journey to explore Mexico, Central America and South America in our 1989 Mitsubishi Delica Starwagon (L300).

Wandering Peso is our life long dream of stepping off the edge of what society expects and tells us what our lives should look like into a place where we create the path and journey to live to our fullest potential. It is, in the art of wandering, a journey to discover the world and open doors to understand where we fit in it.

When a North Bay couple embarked on the journey of a lifetime, they had no idea that their dream vacation would end a nightmare: banished into the Argentinean desert, left to their own devices to obtain food and water amid a global pandemic.

Sunrise vibes for the win today! ⁣

Reminding ourselves that the sun still rises and sets on the daily regardless of what’s happening in the world. Rationality and common sense are the best proactive tools we have for navigating the rapidly changing situation we all find ourselves in. A shout out to all our fellow travelers as we all figure out what the hell to do. ⁣

Please keep updates grounded in facts with credible sources. It’s hard enough as it is. ⁣

Outside looking in overlanding looks like it’s always fun and adventure, but problems happen just like in our life back home. It’s just that sometimes the problems we face on the road are compounded by language barriers, finding space to work or someone competent and trustworthy, or the availability of parts etc, etc. We know we are not alone in that struggle and we were lucky enough to meet Sergio and Jasna who have an awesome workshop in Coyhaique when we noticed a major coolant leak right before we were heading to a really remote backcountry route. ⁣

The silver lining in what could have been a really stressful situation is that we have made two awesome new friends and we were able to work on Peso at our pace and in a rad space. The ever so elusive Delica parts proved to be a challenge as usual, but we were able to find OEM Hyundai parts that bolted in. Hooray! ⁣

In the downtime of waiting on the parts to arrive we cranked out almost two years of extra service maintenance and even got the front bumper mount on the chassis welded back together again. ⁣

Now that’s a tight squeeze!!! ⁣

This river crossing might seem unassuming, but on the other side of those logs is a 30 foot ravine into the mountain side. 😂💪 The way back we couldn’t even see the logs because the water level rose so much. 🙈⁣
