Read MoreGuyana
Guyana is a strange country. Although it is on the South American continent, it is much more a part of the Caribbean. The people speak English with a Caribbean accent, the national sport is cricket, and most are descendants of the black people who came to this part of the world as slaves from Africa. It is a country experiencing unprecedented economic growth and has some of the friendliest and most laid-back people in the world.
Read MoreSuriname
This country, with a little more than half a million people, is somewhat of an island on the continent – the people are all descendants of the cane cutters who came from Africa and India, and as this used to be a Dutch colony, they all speak Dutch. This is fascinating for the Afrikaans-speaking Voetspore crew. Most people live in the capital, Paramaribo, and this is where the team witnesses the extreme tolerance between different religious groups as Jews, Muslims, Hindu and Christian not only respects each other’s believes and traditions, they also embrace it.

Read MoreUruguay
After more than 45,000 km during three expeditions of three months each over the past three years, the team arrives at La Chacra Holandesa of Jan and Marieke Kuper in Uruguay. This is where the journey started three years ago. It is only fitting that it ends here as well. The last week is spent cleaning, packing and preparing the vehicles to be shipped back to South Africa. It also allows reflecting on an exceptional journey where all independent countries of the South American continent were visited. It is a relief to conclude the expedition, but also a sad day to say goodbye to a continent and its people that the Voetspore Team got to know and love.
