Since 2006 we have organised the Panamerican-Highway-Tour and have gained extensive knowledge.
There are 2 ships per month. Schedule will be published around 3 months prior to departure.
Tourists are allowed to use their vehicle in the Americas without paying any import fees. No Carnet de Passage required.
In Montevideo we can recommend a good place for overlanders with electricity, water and wifi. Propane, supermarkets and repair shops are close by. It’s the perfect place to spend a couple of days in order to prepare your vehicle for the road.
Mobile and smartphones work all over the countries. It makes sense to buy a local SIM card. Almost all campsites, fast food restaurants, etc. offer their customers free Wi-Fi.
Domestic animals are accepted almost everywhere in Latin America. No quarantine is required.
The supply of diesel is not a problem in Latin America AdBlue is available at some places. Fuel prices are about 30-50% less than in Central Europe.
We can supply you with the necessary gas-adapters and voltage converters (110 volt north of Peru).
Similar to ferries, the shipping costs are calculated according to the length of the vehicle. The calculation is performed on the centimeter for the benefit of the customer.
The freight rate is currently € 460,00 per meter of the vehicle’s length. Each centimeter counts.
However, smaller vehicles are subjected to a lower unit price.
We can determine the final costs if we know the dimensions of your motorhome and your selected destination, regardless of the direction.
