Travel - Latin America by land
In 2003 I put into practice an old project: to cross Latin America by land from the southernmost city of the continent - Ushuaia in Argentina - to the city of Tijuana, Mexico.
To make this journey viable, I set up a project in search of sponsorship. The main objective of the trip was to photograph and produce reportages with journalistic content showing the different traditions of each country and the diversity of landscapes throughout the continent. I got agreements with the main travel and adventure magazines in Brazil, and sponsorships from Fujifilm and Varig airlines.
It took 11 months to travel across the continent by bus on a shoestring, with a daily budget of US$25,00. At the end of the trip, in addition to having produced a collection of about 4,000 photos from all over Latin America, I returned home with many stories and memories that marked my life and trajectory as a professional photographer. The images in this gallery are part of different stories photographed during the trip.
