I’m planning a medium-long bikepacking trip from SP down to Buenos Aires (through Curitiba, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul, Uruguay, then into Argentina).
I’ve already done this kind of trip in Europe and also in South Africa with no issues, even tho everyone told me it was super dangerous. So I'm not too scared in general, it's more about the overall trip comfort and general safety:
- Is it easy to find like small towns along the way to stop and rest, or is it like super long roads with almost no one in between?
- Camping: is it ok to put my tent for a niht in some random forests or in the countryside, or will I have landowners ousting me of their property? Are they like aggressive?
- Road conditions: bike-friendly w nice smaller roads or mostly trucks and highways?
- Safety: Is it really dangerous, or only when entering big cities or dodgy neighbourhoods in the suburbs?
I was thinking to take a full month to do the road (2,400km and 22,000m d+) in November maybe when the weather should be better.
Sharing a pic of the route + my bike. I try to travel super light and with not too much comfort; sleeping anywhere I can : hostels, hotels, tent outside, airbnb, warmshowers, anything…
If anyone has done the route or smth similar, would be super happy to get your tips, stories, crazy encounters, safety drills and all!
Obrigado!

You are brave to do that. I know some bikepackers who even wrapped their bike with black tape to get less attention. I would be careful with your blue bianchi. The risk is still there. Good luck! Souce: I’m Brazilian
