Balls out down Rt.3 cutting across at the bottom of Argentina to visit Puento Arenas if you want to be in the southernmost city on the mainland of S.America then up to Puerto Natales and the Torres de Paine. Back into Argentina via the border crossing just to the east of the park then north up Rt 40 which ranges from brilliant to bloody and back into Chile at Chile Chico. Up the Caraterra Austral to Puerto Montt then balls out north to San Pedro de Atacama and over the Paseo de Jama to Argentina from where you can head into Bolivia. I realize that this will miss many many great sights but to go south from BA and not take in the bits I have mentioned would be a great waste. Lots of long and boring to some, stretches but the rewards are great. Christmas in Cusco is quite a sight. Ride safe.

I concur with this. Say hi to Jorges in Azul from me. Don't forget to sign the wall. Take in the HU meeting in December if it is still run by Oscar.
After crossing the border into Argentina at San Pedro de Atacama go south to the camp site at Yala, great place to chill out, with a good restaurant cabins and camping. Take a day trip to Salta via the back road over the mountain (spectacular), and visit Jujuy just 14km south of Yala. The road north into Bolivia has/is being upgrade now so should be great by the time you get here.
If I am still in South America we will meet up somewhere.
