Advice for a 10-14 day trip in South america in May?
 

I have some free time in May for about 2 weeks and i was looking for some help on choosing where to go. I have traveled some of Asia on a XR250 and i would ideally like to rent a similar type of bike somewhere.

I do like the look of Chile and the Patagonia area, is it ok to travel there in May? and where should i fly into and any rental recommendations?

I know its kind of a broad question but i do not know alot about south america so any ideas and suggestions would be great!!


Thankyou!

Google is your friend! Google BMW Rental Chile ... there are 3 or 4 outfits that rent bikes.

Friends used MotoADventura ... not cheap but bikes were OK and the company did not rob them too badly when bikes were returned.
Figure about $1000 USD rental per week or more for a semi clapped out 650 BMW single.

Other, Chilean run companies may rent smaller bikes ... be very careful with your dealings with them ... NEVER, EVER send a deposit to them ahead.

ONLY deal with them IN PERSON, within sight of the bike and TEST ride the bike before handing over even a cent! Once on the street, you can probably find many better deals than ones shown online. Pit one outfit against his competition. (just like in Thailand)

Several tourists have been badly burned by crooked rental outfits in both Chile, Peru' and Argentina. :nono:
