South America Trip - Advice Wanted
Hi All,
I'm planning a trip with a buddy and hope to get some feedback from you guys regarding the route, the timing and bike choice.
We want to do this trip in no more than 60 days from mid-January to mid-March and plan on taking the following route:
Lima (Peru) - La Paz (Bolivia) - Asuncion (Paraguay) - Curitiba (Brazil) - São Paulo (Brazil) - Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)
We'd like to do Carnival in Rio and then move on to:
Porto Alegre (Brazil) - Montevideo (Uruguay) - Buenos Aires (Argentina) - Santiago (Chile) - Lima (Peru) - Any advice on weather along the route this time of year?
- Is the time OK for this trip, I think it's about 8000 miles in about 60 days with time for a few days in Rio, Buenos Aires, etc.
- Would a KLR650 be a good bike for a trip like this? Or should we go for the BMWF650?
- Any advice cool places to visit along the way? I have a list of the most obvious places from Lonely Planet, etc., but any advice is welcome.
Any comments and advice is welcome, thank you!
