    This van is ideal for tourists who don't want to stand out as tourists. No advertising, so it's completely discreet! The van is equipped with everything you need and is also approved for camping in the wilderness. However, it is important to note that you cannot stand upright in the van. For me, this was absolutely no problem. It should also be noted that the van drives very well and is equipped with a powerful diesel engine. Alessandra was great and took the time to answer all my questions and also gave me tips on destinations worth visiting. I would book the van again. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Ive been travelling the world for the past 8 years, living and exploring the freedom of van-life across countless landscapes and cultures. Along the way, I discovered what truly makes life on the road comfortable the balance between simplicity, practicality, and that little touch of home. With ALMA-Vans, I started creating campervans that reflect exactly that feeling: easy, cosy, and built from real traveller experience. Canary Da Van is one of those creations designed to give you the same freedom and comfort Ive loved so much on my own adventures.
