Hey,

Thank you for the links.
I've just been puzzling routes from different sources together to get a full path from the far north to far south.
Machacasonwheels is new to me and helpful.
My problem is that I can't see what type of roads they are when looking at most routes.
I believe they have a highway with a cycling path next to it.
Whether it's safe I'm not sure.
I just want to do the fastest route because I'll only have a month to do it.
If anyone comes across a useful article or route on the less known parts (far-north and far-south), please let me know.

Thank you!

Hello there,

I'm a 22 year old student from the Netherlands who wants to bike from the top to the bottom of Chile. I have cycled from the most Northern point of Norway to Spain when I was 18. This year I will cycle the rest of Spain so I will have done North to South Europe.

In 2020 a friend of mine died due to a sudden epilepsy attack. Ever since, I've been wanting to do a special cycling trip to raise money for epilepsy. My goal is to cycle Chile from top to bottom within a month. However, I've been having a difficult time finding proper routes. I would like to know if it's possible and somewhat safe. I ride with a Cannondale gravelbike and only take what is absolutely necessary so I can do around 200km a day. If people would be willing to help me figure out routes and help me towards accomplishing this, I would very much appreciate it.

Thank you and kind regards,

Sjoerd Overstegen
