It's a dangerous business, going out your door (Route)

You will have to forgive me for using multiple maps to show the route, Google Maps has issues with certain border crossings (For example, it doesn't know how to get out of Colombia). These are very high level planning routes and no guarantees are made to their final validity.

Proposed Route Part 1
Points A and B are pretty standard, nothing extra there.
Point C may come after a detour from Mexico into Belize.
Point D states La Ceiba but the plan is to take a ferry (with the bikes hopefully) over to Roatan (Home to the largest reef outside of the Great Barrier Reef) and SCUBA dive for a week.
Point E is where we need to be in the middle of November to catch the boat to get us to Cartagena

Proposed Route Part 2
Point B will actually include a detour into Venezuela, because hey, we're there so why not?

Proposed Route Part 3
Point B allows us to park the bikes and fly to the Galapagos Islands for a week, primarily to dive.
Point C is Machu Picchu
Point E is the Uyuni Salt Flats, which I'm certain you have seen pictures of (Wiki, Picture you really are looking for). Sunscreen mandatory.
Depending on time we may try to go through Paraguay.
Point F is where we will pick up one or two travelers to join us for the leg to Ushuaia and then to Santiago. There will also probably be a ferry trip over to Montevideo to cross Uruguay off the list.
Point G is not actually the final location, Ushuaia is located on the landmass to the South East of G and there is a ferry to take, but Google doesn't know about it.

P2
P3

(All three maps add to 23,535 km ridden if you are curious, but that number will be low)
