South America S3 Ep12: We Finished The Pan-American Highway!

During the South America finale, the team takes in the spectacular Mt. Fitz Roy peak and the Moreno Glacier (Argentina and Chile). After a few vehicle challenges, the Expedition Overland crew gets rolling again to reach the "end of the road," the end of the Pan-American Highway, in Ushuaia, Argentina. A truly celebratory moment! The adventure isn't over yet for these overlanders as it's a long drive back to Buenos Aires to ensure the vehicles are safely shipped back to the United States.

[@lewwilcox2829]

Congratulations and thank you for taking me along with you folks on this awesome trip!

[@KentuckyWoodsman]

Absolutely totally EPIC! Thank you for taking us along on this amazing journey. I will not kid you I hate to see this come to an end.

[@le999333]

Thanks for the adventure, feeling like I was together!

[@mrtopspeed]

My son is asking me where are you guys going next ... what should I say? He watched all the series with me; he's only 8 and already wants to modify our 4runner with lights and winch. I will be very honest here and say what impressed me the most is how well you guys get along. This was one of the best things I watched in quite a long time.

[@joluma09]

mrtopspeed get those things and get out with your son!!!

[@RT3319]

As a 4-Runner and Tacoma owner, all I can say is; "It did my heart and soul good!" An amazing and rare group of people - just the best..!

[@nick4au]

The best part of the expedition was Jeff and Steve throwing spatulas at each other. The rest was incredible too!

[@Dirt_McGurt]

This is better than anything on TV. Well done! Can’t wait to see Africa, Australia, and Asia!

[@Clockiy]

Dirt McGurt i'll hope for africa too!

[@bryantyler7456]

Loved it!!! Thank you so much for taking us along. Cannot wait for the next X-Adventure.

[@kimerikjensen9317]

Thank you so very much for taking me along this epic journey. My very best future wishes to all team members. Looking forward to see or hear of your nest adventure - Satay Safe until then

[@user-io2wb6ll2l]

Congrats! Watching from Ukraine, I’m inspired to fly out to the Americas after watching your series. Thank you for taking us along.

[@thehulls235]

Thank you Team XO for sharing your journeys with us. Daniel, Sarah, and Roxy

[@SilveradoTX]

“Congratulations” and whatever else I could say really don’t seem to do this whole journey justice. However, sincerely, thank you. Thank you for sharing and taking us along. Godspeed.

[@MyJeepStory]

You can't make it to episode 12 and not appreciate the time taken to make such a well planned, filmed, and produced season. I can honestly say Expedition Overland has made the past twelve Fridays much more anticipated and exciting. Thank you for taking viewers along the way.

[@andrewmichalak5471]

The ending brought tears ! You guys struck a cord...

[@brad5095]

I KNOW! IM NOT CRYING, YOURE CRYING

[@davidharden8469]

It did indeed. Man, I wish I was on this trip.

[@brew8053]

I have watched the series from the very beginning. The cinematography and brilliant commentary have made every expedition an amazing chance to live vicariously through you all. Congrats on completing the Pan American Highway. Thank you for the ride and the chance to follow along on your adventures. Here's to the next expedition whenever it may be.

[@shelbyshadow91]

These are the films, and these are the journeys, that have inspired so many.. The impact on my life alone has been profound. I thank all that are involved for that. Keep pushing forward. The ripples of your splash touch so many. I wish you all the best. Thank you XO family.

[@kaillashpunmagar5530]

Thank You Guys 😊 You Guys Are Awesome Thank You

[@tcolby29]

Its really a humbling feeling to complete this expedition through your episodes, you become so drawn into the experience. Personally I've learned a lot through these videos. The biggest lesson I've learned is that you can let others restrict you from chasing your dreams. Can't wait to one day visit these same places or even meet you on the trail! Ready to see where you go next.

[@onassislegaspi2547]

No words can say how happy I am to watch every episode that you show on KZbin...it seems like I am with you guys with all the exploration that you reach and achieved....more expeditions and happy memories to watch and to treasure....

[@laurencetam5585]

I don't usually comment on KZbin, but this is an exception. The trip was amazing, the planning/logistics was on point, the crew was solid and the ending got me tearing up. The trucks pulling back end was such a relief for me and very emotional. Keep doing what you're doing!

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thank you so much!

[@garbinator09]

The ending shot ... the doors folding downward ... closing the chapter, to a lifetime of memories. Deeply felt down deep-for this viewer.

[@Thepathofvids]

I live in Bozeman, MT and when I saw that shot of the Blue Basket gas station and the exit off I-90 it made it really click with me that these are real people living their dreams. I stop at that gas station very frequently and use that exit almost everyday. Just makes it all seem more real to me.

[@carlosr.garcia9996]

EPIC and I was glad I took this journey with all of you! Great Quality work!

[@goosegear]

Absolutely awesome end to an epic adventure. Congratulations to the entire XOverland team on completing the Pan-American Highway.

[@FernandoCorreaHiriart_1968]

Hi, I am half Chilean and Argentinean, thanks to show to the world what a wonderfull countries they are, they both are a must to see in your life time....hope to meet you all some day, I have a friend in Montana, so some day I will reach you, hope soon.

[@BassYakwards]

Goosebumps. Solid goosebumps. Congrats to everyone who took part in this incredible journey. You have totally changed the way I think about things, and through your experiences you’ve made me list for the same sense of exploration. I hope one day to meet you and learn more about your incredible journey. Congrats again, and I can’t wait for the next adventure! Micheal Paoletta BassYakwards TV

[@Lepermessiah54]

Thank you guys for taking me on this journey with you! Quite amazing, and I'm bummed that it's over. Can't wait for Africa 😉😉

[@MrDavidvick]

Thank you for taking us along. Fantastic.

[@bgd73]

I watched all episodes in one sitting. I have never been so intrigued.

[@johnmyers8488]

I’ve watched all 12 episodes of your adventure. Simply wonderful. I was on the edge of my seat with the beauty in this foreign land. To all the members . . . You are a true family. My hats off to every one, especially Rachelle and Heather. Thanks for making such a wonderful video series. With this I don’t need TV. Beautiful done.

[@edwardcharles9764]

What a trip! FANTASTIC!!!! Andrew St Pierre White thinks a trundle over a salt pan is an expedition! 😊👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@payasoPH]

it's not about the end of the road or the beginning of it .. But it's the journey between those two points .. that is precious

[@renniesmith8073]

I ran across this channel 3 days ago and have binge watched it every night since! By far the best adventure series on KZbin! Now to go watch the rest of your videos!

[@shredderdad6995]

Wow. What a super duper epic trip. Hate that it has to come to an end but I must say, I enjoyed every second of it. Thank you all for letting us tag along in this great journey. And more to come... God bless you All, enjoy your Family and allways keep God in front of everything you all do. Thanks again guys and girls... absolutely epic. 😎

[@TFJ4runner]

Another great season! It was cool seeing our companies containers were the ones your forwarder used to ship the vehicles back. Being able to see them in our system made it all the more real.

[@bassbender7847]

I’m a OTR truck driver and I get to see a lot of our country, but this has inspired me to build a overland rig to see all those things I’m missing. What an incredible journey you all have taken us on. Much love to the XO family and I can’t wait to see your next adventure!

[@bethanyrowe9908]

Well done guys! Tears filled my eyes when you reached the end of the road. What a grand accomplishment! Thanks for allowing us to travel along with you. What an amazing world we live in, and I’m more in awe of our Creator’s magnificent creation as I watch where all you traveled.

[@enetam]

Congratulations XO to finishing the Panamerican Highway, to not beeing afraid of dreaming to big back in Alaska/Yukon and to producing another great travel series! Thanks for taking us with you!

[@TheMountainViewCompany]

You guys are some of the realest people I've ever seen and you are what make this series special. Thanks so much for the opportunity to see the world through your eyes, and here's to many more expeditions!

[@fernandoeplaza2184]

Thank you for visiting my country Chile congratulations

[@abepeterson]

I am accepting your challenge. Here is to all of us and he unknown road indeed. I'm moving from Idaho to Phoenix Arizona, first time living away from my family, working, owning my own house, and taking my life time dream trip to Antarctica.

[@negueba235689]

I live in the far other side of the world form you all. But i always done exploring and just some years ago i did start doing it even more. I mean by upgrade with roof tent and drive longer. At this time I started look more on youtube, and at that moment i found your video, one of the first. I watch it all from the start and to now. How your friendship and group have grown, how your life have moved on. All the moments and all the amazing and stunning things. For me and us that do watch it all, Just the feeling we are left with and the inspire to go out there and do it. Fore me it feels like the Expedition overland group did show me a story of a life time and it changed my life as well, and i see now I have a long way i want to go. even i am on a low budget i will do anything just to do something. Its like i cant put it to words, the story telling the edit. you people from start to now. From the easy cars to the full rigs. The work you put inn to it. I cant even imagen! Thank you all ! and the last 2min of this video is like your left with a gap of feelings, just no one stay up and talk about it. We have one life, and at the end you are only left with memories. By doing this great thing that you all do, you will always miss it. Its a bit sad. its like you do not want it to end. Never! just want to keep that moment. friends, the camp the food the talk , the moment. Just freez it and never let go. Happy for you all and thanks agen! Greetings from Norway

[@TimRumble]

Unbelievable! It's an experience just to have watched. I can only imagine the triumph and satisfaction you all would feel at the end of such a dream. Well done! Looking forward to the next series.

[@rockymountainoverland3694]

I can’t stop smiling, such a Awesome Journey to complete. From the top to the bottom, I’ve been watching. Thank you XO for doing what you guys do. You inspire so many to just get out there.

[@PraneilChandra]

[@rmorris211]

Just today finished watching Expedition Overland: South America - It’s Just the End of a Road. This series left me in awe. What a wonderful uplifting heartfelt journey you have taken me on. Having finishing Central America and now South America - cannot wait to watch North America and see Alaska through your lens. Thank you so much. Looking forward to your future productions. 🤗

[@mitchstallings7196]

I have watched all of the videos that this team has presented for this trip. As ex-military and having been to many parts of this wonderful world we live in, I can understand the immense logistics in the planning, preparing and execution this team has done to make this trip a success. This trip must have presented many challenges that may not have been aired but overall I believe this team had everything they needed to make the trip. The close friendship, dedication, fortitude, and the shear love of adventure made it an enjoyable. I certainly enjoyed the time just to watch. Wish I could have been with you guys. My hats off to you all. CONGRATULATIONS on a fantastic voyage.

[@theninja001]

[@buchofmx]

one of the greatest (if not the greatest) 4x4 adventure productions ever created.. been a pleasure to watch lads and an inspiration to indeed go out and get stuck in to it! can't wait for whatever you do next

[@michaelh9656]

My brother introduced me to XO back when the Alaska/Yukon series had just finished...been a heck of a ride watching ever since, loved every minute of it. You guys are truly an inspiration.

All your Expedition Overland series are simply amazing and inspiring beyond works.

[@jaysuper8255]

Excellent.....Like Toyota says "Let's Go Places". Best drone footage in the business...

[@CarlosAlvarado-wq9of]

phenomenal work guys! and yes South America is a very special place indeed. I traveled for 3 months down there back in 2003 and I'll never forget it. I also sat for hours to watch and listen to the Perito Moreno glacier moan, crack and thunder! Cheers to you all.

[@bhager1945]

Congrats on one hell of an adventure and production. Looking forward to what ever is next from XO. From the tip of the spear in The North Idaho, All the Best! "First In, Last out, God Speed, Scouts Out!

[@gadgetguy3579]

I may or may not have teared up just a little for Clay and Jeff on this remarkable journey. I wish nothing but success in their future expeditions. Can't wait to see what's next. I guess I'll go and re-watch either Central America or Alaska Yukon now.

[@davidrandall2742]

Denouement /dāno͞oˈmäN/, noun: (1) The final part of a play, movie, or narrative in which the strands of the plot are drawn together and matters are explained or resolved. (2) The climax of a chain of events, usually when something is decided or made clear. Well played, lady and gentlemen.

[@TheLazyWandererMys]

Started off with the Nordic series (that's how I came across this channel), then went back to the earliest videos and now finished the South America Series. World is a stunningly beautiful place with mostly good people. Its nice to experience different cultures, places and people from the comfort of my home. But like you guys said, One really needs to get out and explore and I am itching to do that. Thank you for all the effort of putting up yet another great XO series.:)

[@cmckmudvideos1243]

Great wrap up storyline with the trucks making it home safe. We use them and love them. Maybe too much......nah!

[@marcslacker3713]

Marc here frm singapore...thou we are just a tiny red dot..with very little places to explore except up north into our neighbour malaysia..nevertheless,u and ur group of wonderful awesome buddies with ur travels have so inspired and motivates me to one day..i will be doing my own road trip soon...keep up the great work and all the best for the future!!!..

[@rcnblackhawk07]

Bravo! 👏👏 Epic overland expedition! ........TOYOTAs RULE!!!

[@mchandy44]

You know for a youtube channel it sure has the feel of a major blockbuster, high budget film. The XO crew really knocked it out of the park. The cinematography just blows me away. I sincerely hope that this is not the end for XO. What's next Clay? Europe, Africa, Road of bones? Thanks so much for sharing this epic adventure, can't wait for the next one!!

[@davidharden8469]

What an awesome series!!! I love the adventure, dialogue, music, spectacular scenery, Hollywood-quality cinematography, and those amazing trucks. You should film an African expedition on IMAX. 'Cause no dream is too big....

[@Chicanoverland]

Absolutely NO WORDS! Thank you for this journey that we all have experienced vicariously through you and the XO team!

[@JC-zt1zu]

I bloody loved it. Just binge watched the shit out of that series. Makes me want to jump in my 4wd and drive around Australia. Unfortunately I have work tomorrow and the boss probably wouldn't appreciate a text message from me letting him know I'm on a tiki tour of Australia, back in a few months Hello unemployment line. We need more adventures so please continue on your amazing adventures. Thanks for the awesome entertainment. It is inspiring. Jared from the Gold Coast of Australia

[@russlaraway]

Well that was outstanding. Love the triumphant return of the vehicles to officially end the expedition and that SWEET shot of the team in silhouette against a Bozeman sunset while the hangar door closes. Congrats!

[@brad5095]
