The Oxford and Cambridge Expedition to South America took place in 1957-8, when teams from Oxford and Cambridge Universities drove overland across South America in three Land Rovers. The expedition was the third in a series of overland expeditions undertaken by a joint team from both universities. The first, in 1954, was the Oxford and Cambridge Trans-Africa Expedition, from London to Cape Town, and the second and perhaps most famous was the 1955-6 Oxford and Cambridge Far Eastern Expedition, from London to Singapore.
