South America trip planning and advice
Hi all,
I've been wanted to get to South America for a while now, and am now planning for 2015.
I've taken to the idea of using using Grimaldi lines and doing a freight cruise for ease of bringing my bike to the continent and just for the sheer hell of it. Then get my bike freighted for the return journey and fly back.
I'm planning to land in Uruguay, though my main areas of interest are Chile and Bolivia with little of Argentina and Peru thrown in.
I'm not really sure on when to go, as the 'ideal' time to go varies a fair bit (for the things I want to see)
So far in no particular order I'd like to see:
Perito Moreno glaciers
Aucanquilcha - I fancy trying to ride up that pass (formerly the worlds highest - though apparently blocked after 5,500m now)
Salar de Uyuni - salt flats have gotta be fun a motorcycle or even a tour
Yungas Road - mostly full of cyclists now
Colca Canyon - looks epic
Other than that, I like to ride a mixture of roads, not get soaked every day, and not freeze to death.
Any friendly advice?
