Hey everyone! I have three months set aside this winter to cycle in South America. I had an unbroken route planned from Lima down to the tip of South America, but multiple people have told me a lot of that ride is pretty skippable and there are better spots. So I’m rethinking my trip and considering just riding the most beautiful, wonderful spots on the continent and taking public transport between those sections. What sections in South America really blew you away? What was unmissable and what would you skip? I’m heading down November 1st and riding until the end of January. And if anyone wants to join up and do it with me, I’m open to ride buddies! Post here—> https://www.reddit.com/r/bicycletouring/s/nubEKj4kR4 Thanks so much for your advice!

I had 2 primo rides in SA. 2020 flew to Temuco, crossed to Argentina, S through the Lake District, crossed back at Futulafu and down the Carretera over 6 fairly relaxed weeks. Spectacular! Last Dec rode a week from San Pedro de Atacama to Salta in Argentina. The high Andes are tough conditions, but also spectacular. Up there the dirt routes are rough going…I’d imagine you could link the two in 3 months easily.
