A few things to point out...
-Presently there is no road connecting Panama to Colombia. A section of dense, undeveloped tropical jungle called the Darien Gap (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dari%C3%A9n_Gap) separates these two countries. Thus a multi-day ferry will be required to access one of the many Caribbean port towns of Colombia.
-Most of Peru route we are traveling through consists of the Andes mountain range, thus what appears to be a rather straight line is actually going to be many ups and downs, thus reducing our overall daily mileage.
-From blogs of other bike tourers, we were informed that the Atlantic coast section from Ushuaia (the southern tip of the continent) to Buenos Aires was not extremely scenic and thus we have decided to take a bus from the tip to Buenos Aires. From Buenos Aires to Rio de Janeiro, we will be riding mostly along the coast where the scenery is much more enjoyable and favorable.
