Getting bike from NZ to South America
 

Hi
we are looking at travelling SA Sept 22 for a few months and were wondering about the best way to get the bike from NZ to probably Chilli or Argentina. Dont really want to be months without a bike so wondering if anyone had experience with flights and or shipping - interested in the how and the time frames.
thanks Erin

Happy planning.

Flying will be a lot more predictable on its delivery date than shipping - basically bike can leave on the same date as you. With shipping it goes weeks earlier and arrives ??

Chile has a much better reputation for the ease of release of the bike than Argentina.

I flew mine Sydney- Santiago (via NZ) in 2018 - process was easy and straight forward. Details are in the shipping database.

Before the pandemic, Air NZ would fly widebodies directly into Buenos Aires, so I think it's just a matter of talking to a freight forwarder and paying the money.

Not the same in various aspects however we shipped our vehicle from South America to Australia and back - 55 days there and 47 days back (drop off to pick up).

Be sure to check out the HU Shipping database https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/tr...t/shipping.php for a LOT of people's experiences on this and other shipments.
