\"\"<\/a>Welcome to El Pedalero!<\/h6>\n

El Pedalero is dedicated to exploring the wonder and mystery of travelling by bicycle in Latin America \u2013 the world’s greatest adventure travel destination!<\/p>\n

Expect to find frank discussions on all kinds of topics: favourite roads, favourite ruins<\/a>, places to camp<\/a>, dealing with\u00a0dogs<\/a>, hassle-free\u00a0border crossings<\/a>, buying machetes<\/a>, epic\u00a0climbs<\/a>,\u00a0epic\u00a0descents<\/a>, and anything else I can think of, as I reflect on two decades of touring through every country in Latin America<\/a>.\u00a0 Also, expect to find plenty of touring advice<\/a>, including relevant Spanish vocabulary<\/a> lists sorted by theme.<\/p>\n

Join the conversation!\u00a0 If you’re an experienced pedalero<\/em> or pedalera<\/em> please contribute to the discussion by commenting on the posts.\u00a0 I want to hear about your favourite routes, roads, tips, and experiences related to each.\u00a0 And I want to hear from future\u00a0pedaleros<\/em> too!\u00a0 If you’re planning to tour this amazing continent, I look forward to hearing your questions, your concerns, and what things you’re most looking forward to.<\/p>\n

I should also mention here that El Pedalero is not a travelogue.\u00a0 The content is based on many tours over many years, not from one trip.\u00a0 Don’t expect to find reviews of hotels, hostels, camping gear, bike frames, travel insurance companies, etc.; there’s already a glut of this kind of constantly-changing information out there.\u00a0 And, although I’ve toured other continents and someday I’d love to cycle the entire world like Heinz St\u00fccke<\/a>, this site is concerned only with the unique situation of bicycle travel in Latin America.<\/p>\n

\u00a1Bienvenidos! Bem-vindos! Welcome!<\/p>\n
