Really drives home the blessing of air travel. LATAM offers the same route for about the same price, 5 hours instead of 118. I assume the author just had nothing better to do which is fine, but great to have the other option.
And what's the price if you want to stop at all 12 cities listed there?

when traveling and especially backpacking, the road and the experiences and people you meet along is the goal, not tackling a checklist of stuff internet/llms has given you as must-see.

#20Reminds me of "The Wrong Way Home" about a guy who did a similar land-only trip, except from London to Sydney. I spent a huge part of my teens and early twenties dreaming of doing the same. These days the mere thought gives me a back ache.
