This is no ordinary rally; it’s a South American Motor Challenge – The Gaucho Trail, a 28-day, 11,000 km journey of discovery through five countries, beginning and ending in Uruguay. Organised by HERO-ERA, it’s part of a proud lineage of South American expeditions dating back to John Brown’s Inca Trail in 2001 and the legendary Philip Young’s ERA events. This year’s route, crafted by Kim Bannister—a connoisseur of the South American continent—will carry you into the soul of South America, revealing both well-loved destinations and hidden corners few travellers ever see.
