Bolivia - French Guyana - Suriname - Guyana - Brazil??? - Venezuela
Does anyone knows is it possible to travel this route? I mean the only problem I see is entering twice to Brazil within 90days. If the whole trip Bolivia - Venezuela will close in 90 days can I enter twice to Brazil?

As far as i know with a bike i can't cross from Guyana to Venezuela.

Btw I hold Polish (EU) passport.

Thanks for any information and advice!!!

I don't know how Brazil re-entry works on an EU passport (mine's USA, and I entered and departed four times), but the rest of your trip will be fine. Still some rainy season mud heading north to French Guiana and south out of Guyana, and you'll have to decide which route to take off the altiplano and through the Amazon, but in most respects it's pretty straightforward. But no, there is no land route from Guyana to Venezuela--smugglers and locals, can perhaps manage, but there are lots of threats of an invasion at the moment anyway.

Hope that's helpful.

Hi,
The road from Brasil to French Guyana is good. 150 km is gravelroad and muddy in the rainy season. I was there in march 2015.
The road from Brasil to Guyana on the otherside of Suriname is about 500 km gravelroad, also muddy. I was there in dec2013. Visit also djin aroundtheglobe.blogspot.com. Visa for Brasil will be no problems.
Nice and relaxed country.

If you want to go Venezuela then the gravelroad starts in Boa Vista (Brasil).

Good luck,
Djin

The 150 km stretch in Brazil towards Fr G is good when dry and even some rain but I also have had a hard time during heavy rains (which are not uncummon either in that area...) and had to wait for several days, cars and trucks got stuck in the thick red clay. Same for the road from Georgetown to Lethem, some stretches are without gravel and the clay can make it difficult after heavy rains. I hit heavy rains twice in the may june period. The road from Boa Vista to Venezuela is asphalt.
It is no problem to enter more then once in Brasil, the counting of the 90 day period will stop when leaving and start again when entering again. Often you will get a whole new 90 day period at every entry...
