Bike touring South America... good idea?
    #7851304 - 01/08/08 11:25 PM (16 years, 24 days ago)

So, as many of you know... I am going to South America sometime around April. My trip dates are open, and ill have enough money to stay the better part of a year (if it comes down to that.)

Initially i was planning on *going for 3 months, surviving and comming home.*...

But the more planning i do, the more i realize, if im going to be spending my life savings to go abroad, learning a new language, and uprooting my whole-damned life - I want to make it more than that.

So, my plan is to stay for an extended period, and travel around more than originally planned.

- want to get comfortable with speaking spanish (and will do 2 weeks in a language school.)

- want to climb macchu picchu,

- fly the nazca lines

- float down the amazon and spend time with an ayahuascero

- camp in the andes..

- wwoof in argenina, and then party in beunos aires,

- etc.

However, i am considering taking my bike. I am a strong cyclist, but have never toured before.. i see the saddle time as a time of intense personal and physical growth akin to the yogi's time in a cave..

I do not think i will "grow" as id like, if i am on tour buses/planes and in hostels.

Do those of you with travel experience think this is a good idea?

Or am i more likely to get my pack cut, my bike jacked, and stuck in the dust/wind/snow, crying for mommy in south amerika (or worse.:S)

....reassure me?
