At DrivingtheAmericas.com, one learns tips of the road with South and Central America Travel

       Even if your not going to take the trip yourself this site is well worth the visit. Though perhaps a combination blog/website (the difference these days gets somewhat blurry), it does seem to have attributes of both. For one it has a main page much like a website with a variety of links to other pages. It also has links to other related websites. Like a blog, it has places to post comments and add one's own link or upload information to the site allowing interaction between users and the site's designers.
       Like the title suggests it is about driving from the United States all the way to Argentina with ones own car, or whatever else one want's to make the trip with. I made a similar trip in 2008 on my motorcycle to Costa Rica in Central America and I hope one day to return, perhaps driving another motorcycle all the way to Argentina this time. With a trip like that, being prepared and informed is everything. Now with the advent of blogs, acquiring information for a trip such as this has become so much easier. The need for up to date, recent information that is being continually added to from a variety of travelers can be crucial.
       So the list of why I like this site is long. The topic (driving in Latin America) is close to my heart. The scope of the information is wide, covering everything from what type of vehicle to choose, how to deal with borders, bandits, corrupt police, shipping your car over the Darien Gap, selling your car, cost's, repairs, hotels, food, locals.......... well you  get the idea. There is a lot here and it is organzed in a very user friendly way with navigation titles, a search box for searching within the site, related links and even direct links to individual countries that you want information on.
       Unlike other similar travel sites, the size of it is not overwhelming, nor so small it is limited by one perspective only. So whether your an arm chair traveler that enjoys visiting places through others experiences, a seasoned traveler needing practical updated information to plan your next trip, or someone just returning from a trip wanting to post useful information or a link to your own site, this blog/website, is for you, check it out.
