Die Geschichte einer abenteuerlichen Reise kreuz und quer über den südamerikanischen Kontinent. In einem 4x4-Van, den wir unbesehen online gekauft und in Buenos Aires übernommen haben. Der Plan? Es gab keinen. Die Sümpfe im Norden Argentiniens, baden im Atlantik und Pazifik, die Atacama Wüste in Chile, die Pinguine auf der Peninsula Valdes und das Ende der Welt in Tierre del Fuego, Feuerland. Das alles haben wir gemacht und noch viel mehr erlebt. Zwar klappte nicht alles und manchmal auch das Auto zusammen, aber es wurde eine unvergessliche Reise mit Sehnsuchtspotenzial.

Pino Cacucci è ritornato nel "suo" Messico per attraversarla e per raccontarla, da sud a nord, da La Paz alla frontiera di Tijuana.
