Overland Americas: a journey with purpose.
Follow our expedition from Philadelphia to Ushuaia—and beyond.
WHY WE GO
More than an
expedition.
Overland Americas combines exploration with service—using the journey to bring attention, connections, and practical support to communities along the route.
Overland Americas is the independent expedition, transportation, logistics and media platform. The charitable and educational mission is led by Casa Argentina en Philadelphia, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization ↗.
Working together, the two organizations seek to collaborate with rural schools, hospitals, municipalities, nonprofit organizations, companies and local media.
Una expedición solidaria que une aventura, educación y servicio comunitario a lo largo de las Américas y África.
