In Brief

Brazilian couple Rosilene Souza and Valmir Nilto reached Macapá in their motorhome, completing a trip through 23 states. Amapá is the only state without direct road connection to the rest of the country.

Brazilian couple Rosilene Souza and Valmir Nilto, traveling in a motorhome, reached Macapá, the capital of Amapá state, completing a trip from Santarém (Pará). This is the 23rd state they have visited. The journey took three days, including a ferry crossing and a stretch of road through the Amazon rainforest.

Amapá is the only Brazilian state without direct road connection to the rest of the country. The couple, who retired in 2023, started their journey from the south, in Chuí, and spent over 7 months traveling through South America, including Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela.

The most challenging section was the road between the Paru River and Monte Dourado in Pará state, with mud, sand, and no signal. On the BR-156 highway between Laranjal do Jari and Macapá, they encountered potholes. The couple plans to visit tourist spots in Amapá and share their experience on social media to attract other travelers, despite the high cost of ferries.

Journalist from Pelotas and videomaker from São Paulo swap wedding party for a home on wheels and set off to cross Brazil's coast with three cats

Laura Terra, 35, a journalist from Pelotas, and Bruno Rezende, 36, a videomaker from São Bernardo do Campo, live in a converted van they call Maresia e Marerê. The expedition began on 24 July in Barra do Chuí, at the southern tip of Brazil, and is expected to end in Oiapoque, Amapá, covering more than 8,500 km; the estimated duration is two to three years. The couple originally planned a South American tour, but after being defrauded during the van's conversion and exceeding their budget, they opted to start with Brazil's coast from south to north. They are accompanied by three cats; the journey is documented on social media under the name The Search Couple.
