Ship-it-to-Lima (via Ushuaia)

Here's the deal:
Daniel and Mauricio will be leaving Colombia on Feb 25th to travel from Ushuaia (Argentina) to Lima (Peru) by land.

We thought it would be a nice gesture of us to deliver something for you.

We will give one person the opportunity to send something to someone in Lima, Peru. A love letter, old stuffed animal, a picture, a small object, anything reasonably small and needless to say not illegal. Marihuana, cocaine, guns, dinamite, babies, animals about to become extinct and national treasures are not accepted. We will not charge you any shipping, postage fees, taxes, nothing.


We do not guarantee that your package will make it in one piece, but what we do guarantee is that it will probably see more miles, places and people than any other letter has in the past. Why? This package won't be going your standard route Bogota-Lima via Airmail. That would take all the fun out and should that be the case we'd probably recommend you to use FedEx, UPS or those other lame-o's that wear funky colored suits and drive lunch-box trucks.

Your package my friend, will be going the long way south and then back north. Starting with a flight from Bogotá to Ushuaia and then overland from there to Lima, your package will traverse some of the most beautiful places in the world. It will meet penguins, sea lions and even llamas. When was the last time you saw a penguin? We'll document your package's journey and send you regular updates. In the end, we will personally deliver it to whomever you sent it to.

Mainly because of lack of space in our bags, we can only deliver one (two tops) small packages. This is why we have created a Facebook Page.

We want you to tell us why we should ship YOUR item and not some other dude's. Whomever has the best explanation (or made up story) gets to ship the package through our  "Ship-it-to-Lima", not-so-express-but-much-cooler, delivery method.

So who wants to send something to Lima for free that will get there in 45 days instead of 3?????

Head over to the facebook page and tell us why we should choose your package
