motoreiter's comment about are you a new rider is important. There's a disasterous thread on AdvRider about a young rider called Clayton who starts a trip to Argentina.
He only gets to Acapulco and has an accident (post #39) that wouldn't have happened to a more experienced rider ( his words, post #83) and is permanently paralysed from the chest down. He can't live with this and eighteen months later he takes his own life.
So I'd advocate advanced motorcycling training, especially to improve your hazard awareness and road positioning.
I'd also echo motoreiter's suggestion about getting to know your own country first.
Ride safe!
