Driving A 38 Year Old Land Cruiser To The Andes (Peru)
Peru, our third country in South America, surprises us with the vast and jaw-dropping Cordillera Blanca region. After ascending to the Andes Mountains from Peru's coast via the stunning desert landscape filled Ruta 3N, we spend a week driving and hiking in Peru's most spectacular region. Highlights include:
Laguna 69, the trekking tourist beloved alpine lake surrounded by snow-capped glaciers at 15,000 feet,
Laguna Parón, another icy blue lake that you can set up base camp next to in your overland rig,
and Pastoruri Glacier, one of the Cordillera Blanca's famous glaciers that can be accessed by a relatively easy hike.

How did we get here?
We're Cody and Olivia, an American couple from Oregon, who found a love for 4x4 driving and camping after we purchased a 3rd gen Toyota 4Runner. After exploring much of the American west in our 4Runner, we found our dream overland rig, a 1985 HJ75 Toyota Landcruiser Troopy, in Bend, Oregon. We plunged head first into fixing up and building out the Troopy with a lot of misadventures along the way. Finally in 2022, we realized we had an opportunity to live our dream of full-time overland travel. We quit our jobs, sold our house and all of our belongings, and set out on the road trip of a lifetime following the Pan-American Highway south to Ushuaia, Argentina.

Driving A 38 Year Old Land Cruiser Around The World

People think we're crazy for traveling the world in a Toyota Land Cruiser from 1985, but we LOVE this rig. Despite it's 38 years of age (many years older than both of us), there is no other vehicle we'd want to travel in long-term. But after 10 months of travel, we are realizing a vehicle of this age requires another level of maintenance to keep it on the road and heading south on the Pan-Ameri...
