Welcome to De Sacs et d'Eau
Welcome to De Sacs et d'Eau
We're Tristan and Mathilde. A French duo who set off on a year-long backpacking adventure across South America, with just one firm belief: the best memories are made along the way.
De Sacs et d'Eau is our travel blog. Here, you'll find comprehensive guides, tried-and-tested itineraries, and interactive maps to help you plan your trip with everything you need right in your pocket.
To make this happen, we choose overland travel over flying, eat local, and support guesthouses and shops run by residents. Traveling far is amazing, but we believe in doing it while staying conscious of our impact.

Valparaiso

Valparaiso, the world city of street art
The city of street art, or how a city marked by an economic crisis and natural disasters managed to reinvent itself thanks to the ingenuity of Chilean artists.
Kisses from us!

Pucon

The beautiful city of Pucón, between lake and volcano
Pucón clearly has a seaside town vibe. The somewhat lounge-like restaurants are everywhere, but it’s not unpleasant. On the contrary, it really gives a vacation feeling.

Ushuaia
We discovered Ushuaia, at the end of the world
Mountains behind, the ocean in front. When you arrive in Ushuaia, you quickly understand why the city is nicknamed "the end of the world."

San Rafael

San Rafael, a natural stop after Mendoza
After Mendoza, we logically continue to head south. Not yet Patagonia, not yet Bariloche, but a stopover that allows us to progress without burning the kilometers too quickly. San Rafael emerges quite naturally on the map.

Mendoza
Mendoza, three days to discover the city
After Córdoba, Mendoza was supposed to be a simple stop. Two days in a transit city, then three full days before hitting the road again. Nothing more. We arrive with this idea in mind, not realizing that Mendoza would mainly change the way we spend our time.

Asunción

Is Asuncion worth the detour?
3 days is short to visit a capital, but it's enough to understand how it works.

Puerto Iguazu
What to do in Puerto Iguazú, the border town of three countries?
275 spectacular waterfalls 2.7 km long on the border between Argentina and Brazil. It's Iguazu Falls!
