questions about road conditions for south america tour
i am planning my bucket list trip from OR, USA down to South America and back to my home in Costa Rica.
I believe having citizenship in both the states and Costa Rica eliminates IDP issues, as well as eliminates tourist entry fees but my question is about the roads further south on the pan american.
i see travel video journals of roads i would not walk my goat on, let alone drive my FJR 1300 on. obviously i want to take in some off the highway journey's, but i have a straight up street bike and my wife, despite being Costa Rican, is spoiled, so too many nights away from a nice hotel is just not gonna happen.
i plan to fly the bike over the gap into Colombia and then Pan American it down to Santiago, over to Buenos Aires, and back up to Colombia.
so my question is, is the pan american highway really as bad as is shown in the videos? I see some commentary about going only 30 kilometers in an hour. I want to complete 20,000 kilometers in South America in 75 days, but obviously it is all about road condition.
Thanks for any advise
