Hello Friends !
I'm Ivan, I'm italian and I'm happy to share my project with all of you, the trip of my life, hoping to find help and contributions. What I'm about to start is a great journey,geographically and humanly. My trip will start from Mexico, Guadalajara, where I find myself at now ; from here the plan is go further south to Oaxaca and Chiapas. From there I will travel to Guatemala ,continue to all Central America crossing Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panamà, reaching South America in Colombia. Trip will continue to Ecuador, most of all visiting the Amazon Rainforest area in the cities of Puerto Francisco de Orellana and Tena, before reaching the peruvian border and entering this country. In Perù my trip will bring me in the northern cities of Chiclayo and Trujillo, home of the " Señor de Sipán" and Moche culture; after that I will go to the south coastal town of Paracas and Ica, in the southern peruvian desert, and continue to the magical town of Cuzco before reaching the bolivian border at 3650 MAMSL in the wonderful lake Titicaca, where according to the legend emerged from the waters and founded the great Inca civilization. Bolivia will be the wildest part of the trip, starting in Tiwanaku, about 60 km from La Paz and reaching the immense salt desert of Uyuni and the "Altiplano" with his beautiful Lagunas, Colorada y Verde, en la Reserva Nacional Eduardo Abaroa. Last step and country of my journey will be visiting Chile, where I will try to reach Fireland in the now most southern city of Puerto Williams, after crossing the whole Patagonia and reach my goal finishing a wonderful trip.
Duration will depend based on my finance, haha (but I think 5-6 months) and the help I will have generously from donators. Key of the trip will be try to have the more contact possible with native people of every single country,as I always thought we have so many things to learn from them. I will try also to buy and brings basic necessities and essential goods to every community that I will visit, clearly depends on the budget I will have. 
I already visit the mayority of these countries but this time my desire is to do it in a more humanly way, as I claimed starting the presentation of this trip. I know these are hard times and Coronavirus made things harder too, perhaps this is not the best time to travel, but is the best time to help.
Thank you in advance for all of you that will help me, you will be helping native people of America too.
