Quito to Mendoza starting around 7-Dec-2009
 

Hi,
I am curently in Quito, looking to buy a bike and head down to Argentina, leaving around 7 Dec (after Quito festivities).

Route will go through Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, northern Chile, Argentina (up to Mendoza). After that, we will see if I'll continue south to TDF. Depends on the mechanics.

I won't be doing much offroading, I prefer sticking to known roads. It also depends on the bike I buy. AnywayZ, I'll be visitng, doing some hiking,... I estimate the tour to last until end of January.

Will anyone be on a similar path or can hook up?

Ciao
