Ongoing blogs in South America
Like to see a list of ongoing blogs in Central- or South America, or on their way to South America or just finished their trip in the last 3 months.
These blogs have most of the time a wealth of info about routes, closures, border crossings, personal experiences, etc, and like to use this info for my next trip to South America, Been googling and looking in the Hubb forums a few days now and do not really find what I am looking for, so I try it here I just finished a trip a few days ago and one early this year Check it out and let start with this one on the list. If the owners of the blogs below see there "Last Known Location" is wrong or do not want to be on this list, PM me and I will make the changes!

Hi Scooper,
I'm in SA at the moment (Peru) having ridden down from Alaska. I was riding north in 2009 when I got fed up with fixing my Beemer, shipped it back to Europe and bought a DR650 in the US. Hence my blog is a little disjointed. Basically 2009 Chile/Argentina/Uruguay/Brazil/Paraguay/Bolivia/Peru. 2010 Mexico/Central America. 2011 Central America/Colombia/Ecuador/Peru. There's a link to my site in my sig line. Happy planning! :thumbup1: |

We just got back at the end of May from our trip. See sig for blog. Also on my blog are a bunch of links to riders we met on the way. Hope that helps.

Ride report posted on ADVrider. Had some interuptions for refitting and refunding but started in Aug 2009 heading up to New Foundland, far North of Quebec to the Trans Tiaga and back home to get little bike ready for Central and South America. Left again in Nov 2010 went through Central America left Panama on boat and went to Colombia. Got back on said boat and took bike up to Jamacia, Cuba, Jamaica, Providencia, and back to Panama and finally back again to Colombia where I'm refunding at the moment. 33 1/3 NCS or what I figure as 33 and 1/3% or the world-The Americas plus some Caribbean. A work in progress:scooter: |

Thanks for putting these links together. I think that I've read through a few of them, but often have trouble finding them when I want to refer back. I'll be heading south in September, so I have some reading to catch up on.

south america on a 200cc chinese bike
i bought a 200cc chinese bike from another traveller in Santiago de Chile about 6 months ago - and have since spent about 2 months more in Argentina and Chile, and 3.5 months in Bolivia.
I have a blog that is more of a travel commentary rather than a play by play bike focussed blog, but if anyone needs info on places to stay/repair shops/road conditions on any of my routes - please drop me a line :) blog is: chasing serendipity lots of pics at: Picasa Web Albums - FatMeercat |

Paul & Shawn, both added to my post on this forum
Would like to add you as well in my bloglist on my blog Central America on one or two Wheels, but for some reason if part of the address is the Hubb or ADV, it creates a link, but not to yours, ( It drops the referral page), but I am working on this. Anybody knows how to do this! |
Nice blog
came across a nice ongoing blog in SA
Calgary to Brazil on a KLR 650… |
I thought we`d finally add ours as I wasn`t sure we were proper motorcyclists having never really ridden before our trip.
Ours is Aotearoa to the Andes We`re riding 2-up`on a Suzuki DL650, having started in Santiago, driven to Ushuaia and now riding north to at least Colombia (we are in Paraguay now). We also just recently posted a blog about trip planning that we tried to update with what we learnt before and during the trip. Its great following everyone. Cheers Reece |
