Search a Multi-Stop Route

The Sweet 16 is now history in the Indie Travel Take Down tournament as we make our way closer and closer to the Final Four and the crowning of the Indie Travel Champion.

The Americas region is the only one where the favorites held up, with #1 seed Peru and #2 seed Argentina advancing to face off in what’s sure to be a classic match-up with a trip to the Final Four on the line. The surprises continued in Europe as #7 seed Croatia defeated Germany and will have to defeat #8 seed Portugal if they want to keep moving on. In a grudge match between rivals, New Zealand defeated Australia and still sits as one of the heavy favorites to take the title. But they will have to get past a tough country in Indonesia in the Asia/Oceania region if they want to have a shot. In the Africa/Middle East bracket, #4 seeded South Africa upset #1 seed Morocco and advances to play #7 seed Egypt, who finally dispatched of pesky underdog Madagascar.
