Suggestions for circuit of interior of Brasil
Good Morning!
Has anyone done a circuit of the interior of Brazil. I'm thinking of entering Brasil from Peru via the Trans-Pacific Highway, heading towards S.Paulo, but looping up before getting there, up and around Brasilia then back into Peru the same way I left.
Aside from the new Trans-Pacific Highway, I've heard the 'roads' can be pretty rough in the middle parts of the country, especially if you get the seasons wrong. Many rivers flow from from North to South, down from the Amazon and around Brasilia. Probably lots of washed out mud roads. I'm not a great fan water-logged mud.
Anyone done this or something similar? Any info on seasonality (i.e. avoiding rains etc).
Another option might be to 3/4 of the loop on the road, then stick the bike on a boat in Belem and do the six day journey to Leticia in S.E. Colombia, but I'd rather get back to Peru and ride up through Ecuador.
I plan to cross Peru to Brasil Sept/Oct before it gets too cold at the border.
Cheers!
