La búsqueda de los ocho farolillos rojos

The adventure continues

This is where you will find guides and experiences around the the quest of the 8 red lanterns, which coincidently map perfectly to our 8 epic adventures ahead of us in 2025. clues associated with the 8 red lanterns. There is a treasure to find, and the clues will hopefully lead you to that treasure. What is that treasure? We don’t know yet and the clues will guide you to understand what that treasure might be.

As this quest began on our South American trip in 2022, we integrated a Spanish title as a starting point for this series of quests. The story of the six red lanterns is decades old and based on an older tale spanning hundreds of years across many countries and continents. Fast forward to 2025 and it is now the quest of the 8 red lanterns or La búsqueda de los ocho farolillos rojos.

For teachers and parents – we are travelling to around 40 countries around the world over 9 and half months in 2025. We will be doing our best to fact check any information shared through these pages although there might be a tall tale or two woven in among the facts.

The content is aimed at upper primary, early middle years so from Grade 4 to 8 or 9 and will focus on positive content. The partner site https://learnshifting.com has more of the EdTech (Education Technology) tips, tricks, topics and use cases that teachers, parents and students can make use of.

Although I did not do that well on our last epic to Sourth America and Europe, I haven’t given up and I thought we could create a series of quizzes and clues that integrate the history, geography and culture of the places we are visiting. These quizzes and the activity is based on “Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego”. The following picture relates to the adventure and also the challenge of the 8 red lanterns that I created for our South American Adventure in late 2022. There is no answer at the bottom of the page, and that adventure started with a letter waiting for us in the first hotel we stayed at when we arrived in Chile’s capital, Santiago.
