Whoever said 70% of the roads in South America are paved is not riding in the same South America I am (Chile, Bolivia, Argentina, Peru). Nevertheless, I think your biggest risks will be the cities, e.g. Lima. You need to be able to ride, break, swerve, accelerate automatically without thinking, in anticipation of some nutter pulling in front of you, reversing up a highway, going the wrong way up a one way street etc. If I were you I'd get plenty of practice somewhere quiet.
