I'm not sure how much longer you are traveling past Santiago, but if it were me, I would ride back to Lima, replace the front sprocket and buy a spare set of sprockets and chain and carry them as spares since they can be hard to come by for big bikes.
Just an idea.
Kindest regards,

Yup, that's what I'd do with the slight difference that I wouldn't fit the new ones until the originals were well and truly shagged.
Looks like quite a bit of life left in those in your photos, esp if you are good about lubing the C & S.
Ride on.
