It has been a while since I thought of this but it is still on my bucket list, I was thinking 2014.
Does anyone have any experience riding through South America
Some of the basic things I need to start to find out is
1) Route, north to south or south to north.. east coast, west coast? I am not looking to go through the path least travelled by..
2) I would rather buy a bike there and resell it, how do you go about finding a reputable dealer who you can source a bike from and kit it out, or possibly rental, no tour operators if at all possible. Anyone know any overlanding companies?
3) What paperwork is needed.. visas etc ?
4) How expensive is it to travel through the continent what kind of travelling budget for food, petrol, accomodation etc?
5) What part of the year is a good time to go, fair weather riding?
and anything else you can think of
