Since I seem to be only one who understands anything about the South American geography (another hook to catch shortride again but unfortunately he might not understand this since he skipped his school), I will tell you this:



Anything below Colombia is a walk in the park. You can ride all day long on a long strech of pretty much on tarmac if you so wish. But LETS SEE how do these guys go from Ecuador to Panama (or Venezuela-Panama if they come from the east, which is the worse choice). You see from any map Colombia is in between... Darian Gap makes the so-called Pan American Highway a complete mockery. I´ve read lots of travel stories but this bit is usually hushed up.

Re: Hushed up??? Oh, Really???

You are right there. I know best since I have lived here the past 7 years. Lots of bad bad roads, impassable at times, tough conditions, poor people, some butt naked indians, some short women with unprobably large heads, unforgettable photographic moments, extreme adventure, romantic settings - if you choose it.

If you do like the locals do, the motorway, well, its like blasting down the New Jersey turnpike.
