Starting in Halifax, Canada, the SolarButterfly will travel all the way to Florida and California and then south across Mexico and Central America to Panama.

From Switzerland across Eastern Europe to Turkey. Originally we wanted to cross the Middle East and drive until India, but the actual situation made this impossible. So we loaded the butterfly on a boat in Istanbul and contnued our journey in Kochin, Southern India. Also the tour across China had to be cancelled, because China’s transit permit fees have increased to amounts that we don’t pay. Out of principle. 

The SolarButterfly also wants to visit Australia. Because there is lots of sunshine and potential there, too. 

There is a chance for a COP in Australia in 2026. So we have postponed our trip until the Australian government and UN have agreed about the World Climate Change Conference (COP).

The SolarButterfly will travel from Cape Town to Pretoria and spend a week in Kruger National Park, fodusing on the topic of biodiversity, before heading to Durban.

After arriving in Buenos Aires, the SolarButterfly will travel all the way along the East Coast to Belem to the United Nations World Climate Change Conference COP30.  

After that we are not decided yet. Probably the tour will end in Lima, Peru.
