Best Route From Brazil to Venezuela
I am in Buenos Aires on a BMW R100GSPD and would like to travel from here, through Brazil into Venezuela. I cannot find a possible route. Suggestions?

I played along the coastline through Brasil after visiting Foz do Iguazu. I shot straight from Salvador to Belem, but you do not have to. In Belem, I caught the 5 day ferry to Manaus and went straight north to Venezuela. It helped to have a few extra days in Belem to get a tourist pass for venezuela. I am not sure if it was mandatory for all nationalities, though.
Good luck

As Sean says.
There are not really, (as far as i am aware), other options.

Porto Velho Route
There is also the Iguasu, Campo Grande, Cuiaba to Porto Velho route.
You can catch the 3 day boat to Manaus and head north from there.
Faster than the coast, but less scenic.
Safe travels

runnoft; that's essentially the same route "into" VZ though, isn't it? The border crossing at Santa Elena Uairen is unchanged. Your boat only took 3 days? - that's good going!

Porto Velho
I took the Porto Velho route and boat down the Madera River to Manaus - though the road to Manaus is passable. I wanted a river trip, rest my backside. Beaches are beaches and I've seen a good few. I wanted to see the agricultural heartland of Brazil. I met one foreigner in Porto Velho - a defrocked Texas Baptist Minister, Pastor John. Nice man. You have any problems, he will help. He teaches at the English Language school.
Santa Elena is great. So is the road on across the savannah and down between weird table-top mountains. I rode through Venezuela during the referendum on Morales - not a good time. There is an account on my BLOG at cover
Message me if I can be of help.
Cheers....

If time is short
I also recommend the Foz-Cuiaba-Porto Velho route. All pavement, but I did it the other direction. I would not attempt any route between Nov and April (rainy season) tho, unless you love mud with a street bike!
