Central and South America Oct 2015
I'm heading to South America from New Orleans in October on a KLR650. I'd like to link up with a few folks and share the initial anxiety of traveling abroad on motorcycle where my proficiency of the language will be subpar... at first.
After spending a month on the TAT a few years back, the moto adventure bug took hold and I finally have the opportunity to scratch the itch. I have about 6 months to travel and would like to make it to Terra del Fuego. However, I never completed the TAT because the riding in Colorado was too ****ing rad. In fact, after Moab I turned back and spent a few weeks knocking out as many mountain passes as I could. I expect the same to happen in the Andes.
The extent of my trip planning at this point is based on the plethora of Marriott points I have at my disposal. Essentially, I can stay in the following cities for free:
Puerta Vallarta, Mexico City and Villahermosa, México
San Jose and Herradura, Costa Rica
Panama City, Panama
Bogota and Cali, Colombia
Santiago, Chile
Aside from Marriott Hotels, I'll be camping and staying at hostels.
Looks like there will be a good number of moto adventurers doing something similar in the same time frame. We should get a thread going or something so we can meet up and share our exploits(is there an app for that?).
PM me for contact info.
Cheers,
Jon
