Route Plan

We planned our route around many factors, and are still constantly tweaking it for the best possible experience. We're striving to create a route that prioritizes safety, sightseeing opportunities, points of interest, best practices, and staying with those who have opened their home to us. All distance calculations are underestimates (because they're based on drawing straight lines along the route), but should give a good idea as to the length of the trip. Check out the country links for route details about each country. In general we're sticking to the Pan-American Highway where possible, using the details on Wikipedia (PAH Overview, PAH in North America, and PAH in South America. Please feel free to comment on the route, suggest changes, point out places of interest on and off the route, and help us make the most of the trip! Thanks!

We're still working out the details on the route, and will continue to make minor modifications up to our departure date and along the way, but here's a preliminary outline that will give you an idea of where we're headed.  Click on the map for a closer look.

Most of the maps were taken as a screen shot from RunThere.com, an exercise route calculator most likely not meant for this purpose. :) For the few countries Google Maps does not yet show highways for, maps from Mapquest are displayed.
