This is how we hope to see people working together. Our road trip is a catalyst for change and support.

Starting in June of 2008, a Free Flowing Rivers team will be undertaking a journey never before accomplished. Three cars, all converted to run on biodiesel or vegetable oil, will complete a two-year circuit of North and South America. The trip South commences in Vancouver, BC and travels through the Western side of the continent through Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia until reaching Patagonia. The return North follows the Eastern side of the continent, passing through Uruguay and Brazil. For a detailed overview of our route, please see our map.

As we travel, we will be creating a network of awareness, education and support.

Many communities in Latin America are faced with the destruction of their traditional ways of life as a result of dams. Free Flowing Rivers works to help these communities build capacity, implement environmental stewardship initiatives, and preserve their traditions. Our road trip is essential for sharing information from one community to the next, while promoting the use of renewable energy. We will be an interactive resource, connecting communities that can work together, and providing people with the inspiration to keep fighting. Our road trip is the vehicle for our other programs, allowing us to connect with those who are most in need across Latin America.
