Why do we like to travel? To answer will be so different like the needed timeframe for the same distance.

Many regret the travel-speed afterwards, but honestly - are didnt able to try and report - how the slower travelling was at the end.

Most of us are not able to travel extended many times between the working years.

So try to answer the question to yourself - why do you really like to travel in south america. Do write the reasons down to paper. Think about how much time you will need for that all - and you will know more.

For landscape related travel you can travel faster, as if you like to get a deeper dive in local culture and local people in each country...

One thing is to mentioned - you need breaks between - to be able to enjoy "the new" like as you did start.

Personally my travel speed is getting slower - if I`am able to do like i want.

2012 - 20`500km in two monts (transafrica)
2015 - 35`000km in six months (south america)
2019 - 6`500km in two months (europe)

At 2020 I had 6500km in 3 weaks - because the time was very limited, and I had to eat kilometers to get to my travel destinations - Overlanding in Sweden. Same it was at 2014 in Iceland - not much time and a lot to see - too over 6`000 km in 3 weeks...

My travel diarys are linked - so you can a bit, how the travel live did looks like.
