San Antonio, TX to Bogota?! ADVICE POR FAVOR!
 

I'm debating whether to fly ship bike to Bogota from Miami or just ride. I can't leave 'til mid Nov. due to work and would like to make it to Usuaia by Dec. 22. I would also like to spend 2 wks. in Colombia. (It's about a Girl...) I just came back from Bogota (by plane, no bike) in July and I fel in love the place!!! Can someone advice me as to what time frame I'm looking at to make it to Bogota from San Antonio, TX?!


Thanks....ride safe,

It's about 2,000 miles from Panama City to Mexico City (approx. 40 hours riding, depends on borders etc., there are 6 of them for you to cross). I'm guessing it's about 1,500 miles to from San Antonio to Miami. From my perspective, it's a no brainer, it might be twice as far but waaaay more interesting and when will you ever find a better reason to ride through Central America? Be careful though, it is extremely easy to fall in love in pretty much every one of those countries (as you have found out:)). If you get waylaid, send an SOS and we'll come for you...

Thanks for the info Mountainman. And about the SOS, I'll keep it in mind.


Thanks again....Ride Safe,
