Arcane Candy

Welcome to the South by South America Tour, my first jaunt through South America. From July 30 to October 29, 2019, I backpacked through Argentina, Chile, Rapa Nui (Easter Island), Bolivia and Peru to experience the insanely creative music, art, food and architecture of those countries.
