Route 1 is said to have captured the Zeitgeist of the 1990s. Its sequel continues along that trail. By visiting far-off countries, we can learn from our distant neighbours, recognise what we take for granted and re-evaluate our own lives. TravellersEye has recognised the movement towards travel as a rewarding activity and continues documenting the exploration of our world.

A Trail of Visions – Route 2 is a colourful and vivid account of photographer Vicki Couchman’s passage through South America. This visual essay of 181 colour and black and white photographs eavesdrops on her experiences and gives us insight into places both on and off the tourist trail.

The photographs capture everyday life above and below the Equator in a relaxed and unobtrusive manner. They also give an uncensored account of the common thoughts, feeling and emotions evoked by long distance travel, as well as the varied adventures and experiences to be had abroad – weather pleasurable or problematic, exhilarating or exhausting.

This book is an inspiration to those wanting to take a leap into the unknown, and serves to soften the culture shock of stepping away from the developed world, giving a frank and honest insight into the many different cultures, tastes and sights each country holds.
