La Paz to northern Argentina - road conditions?
We are currently coming north up through Chile to Peru via the coast & then inland to Cuzco & La Paz. We are then planning to back into northern Argentina & head east towards Foz do Iguaco & BA.
We are thinking of riding south from LaPaz via Oruro & Potosi to the Bolivian/Argentine border at Villazon/La Quiaca. As we are travelling two-up on our own, on a loaded BMW 1150 Adventure (& we don´t necessarily consider Salar de Uyuni essential) we are looking for a route south to Argentina that is perhaps direct & road conditions that are not too extreme.
Has anyone been through this area recently that can advise on the best route &/or any road conditions? We will be going through in late Oct, so hopefully shouldn´t get too much rain (Correct?)
We have heard that putting the bike on the train from Oruro might be a good option.
Cheers,
Cords & Aash
