Our Piccolo is off to seek a new adventure 🌎!

Over the past six years, we've traveled through all 12 countries of South America with our VW T5 4x4.
Together, we've experienced so much—venturing into remote regions and even crossing the 5,000-meter mark several times (without a single cough!). Piccolo never let us down—whether it was high Andean passes, Amazonian downpours, or desert dust. Of course, we've replaced some parts along the way, always taking care of him as we did ourselves. Piccolo was always ready to keep going. He's been the heart of our journey—built for South American roads and adventures.

We're currently on our final loop through South America and making new plans for the years ahead. That includes a new overlanding vehicle. Piccolo belongs in South America. He knows the roads, the spirit of the people, and the challenges that come with it.

We're looking for a new owner in South America—someone who sees Piccolo’s potential and isn’t afraid to tackle the rough tracks. That’s exactly what Piccolo wants!
