So I’ve been trying to figure out the exact path for my South America trip.
I think I’ll be Traveling in a big circle-shaped path. My Brazil Visa dilemma is still being worked out, and I think I’ll probably try to get it in Lima, Peru (apply for one the first day and then just wait around there until it’s finished). I don’t think I want to send in my passport now and try to rush the Visa through mail…too many disastrous things could happen (mainly my passport being lost in the mail).
My path would be something like this-
(if all goes as planned). We aren’t sure exactly where we are going to go in Brazil, hence the arrows going everywhere. Also the path isn’t really drawn to scale/accuracy (because I don’t know which exact cities we’re going to hit/locations).
With that said, that’s the general path. Machu Picchu is a definite goal for this trip, though, I’ve read that mudslides and full bookings have pushed bookings back a few weeks…so we’ll see if I’ll do MP right away or on the way back.
My friend and I will be traveling primarily by bus (I would imagine). We’ll probably fly in Brazil (if we can get our Visa) since the country is so fucking huge…but yeah. I don’t want to waste my entire time on a bus, so we’ll see how fed up with it I am near the end of the trip.
I’ll be flying into LAX on April 6th at 10 a.m. and leaving for Peru on April 8th at 2:30 a.m. (morning). Hopefully I can see some family while there in L.A. I’m actually hoping to climb both days at this gym:
So yeah…maybe I’ll climb right when I get in (at 10) and maybe climb the next day until it closes (10 p.m….not sure what I’d do to kill the 2.5 hours or so during that time but meh, I can find something. Maybe climb for a few hours then eat?
Posting my itinerary here so I don’t lose it somewhere/always have a place to find it/dont want to check email/etc-

Went from Omaha–> LA–> Lima–> LA–> Omaha. Thought it’d be cheaper flying out of LA (and it was for a long while) until I rechecked and the price from Omaha to Lima dropped…go figure. Oh well.
Sooooo pumped….
