Hi Steele,

I have been looking at your blog. Thank you for sharing!! I am planning to go in mid-November and take the westerly route, going to west palm, then to Kingston (overflight of Cuba) and to Cartagena or Barranquilla, to continue on to Cali, then Trujillo (Peru), Pisco, Iquique, Santiago, Mendoza, and Buenos Aires. From what I saw in your blog, sounds like Brazil is kind of painful (one reason why I am trying to avoid it). I flew to Cancun last July but it was easy thank to Rick Gardner's book which gives you all the info you need. What worries me the most is all the paperwork in Colombia and Peru. I hear Chile and Argentina are GA friendly and not expensive. How did you find out about all the paperwork you needed to do in advance? Did you use a handler? One pilot suggested that I use a handler but I wonder whether it is so time consuming.
Anyway, any advice you may have is welcome.
Thanks
Fernando
