Central/South America - Which direction is best?
Hi everyone, I am hoping for some advice on exploring South America please.. It is my first post on this site and I have heard great things!
My wife and I will be taking a sabbatical next year to bike through central and south America for 6 months (starting in August), and I want to make sure that we travel in the right direction to make the most of good weather and ease of travel.
Question - Should we travel South starting in Mexico, or start at the bottom of Argentina and head North? (We will probably be buying the bike at the start point and selling at the end)
I am mainly thinking about the weather but if people have experienced other variables that would help the decision please shout (ease of buying or selling a bike/border crossings/Darien Gap etc).
If there is another thread that covers this, please let me know. I did have a good look but couldn't find one.
Cheers
Rich
