About Our Travel Blog
Mathilde and I chose to travel slowly, favouring overland transport and real exchanges with locals. That slower-than-average pace let us experience things a classic itinerary never would: staying with a family in a village with no tourists, sharing an impromptu meal on the side of a Bolivian road, or stumbling on an archaeological site no guidebook mentions. That's what we share here.
Our stories are also a concrete source of inspiration for planning your own trip. We describe the atmosphere, the real costs, the travel times and the surprises, good and bad, of every leg of the journey. If you're still on the fence about leaving, these accounts will give you a precise idea of what's waiting for you on the ground, no filter, no embellishment.
Browse through our travel journals and let yourself be swept up in the adventure. And if a story makes you want to know more about a destination, our detailed travel guides are there to help turn that inspiration into an itinerary.
Learn more about us and our “De Sacs et d'Eau” project
We're Tristan and Mathilde. A French duo who set off for a year of backpacking across South America, with one conviction: the best memories are made along the way. De Sacs et d'Eau is our travel blog, with complete guides, itineraries tested on the ground, and interactive maps to help you plan your trip with everything you need, right in your pocket. To do that, we favour overland travel over flying, buy local, and choose accommodation and businesses run by local people. Travelling far, yes, but with our impact in mind.
