Br319
Mauro,
The driest season to ride BR-319 is approximately in mid-August. More and more of the road has been paved on the north and south ends. Still, there are many long stretches of packed dirt that turn into slippery red clay mud when it rains. Mount the appropriate tires and if the mud sticks to the front tire and jams up the fender...remove the fender.
If you arrive at the north or south end of BR-319 and the road conditions are beyond challenging, know there is a ferry that runs roughly parallel to the road. Years ago, a friend was stopped, advised that the road was impassable, and told to turn around. He took the ferry.
Years ago riders posted stories of camping at cell towers and buying gas from farmers. Finding gas and lodging is not a problem if you keep your eyes open.
