Scott, are you flying down for work, and then renting the bike down there to ride around ? The Chilean side of the Trans-Andean is pretty nice. It opens up once you cross over to the Argentina side. I rode down last January, all the way from the US, with an adventure riding buddy of mine...he on my old '05 R12GS, and me on my '12 Super Tenere'. Rode all the way there, and all the way back. Yes, there is a back road to get from Panama to Columbia.
