The long short-cut?

Blender.
Out of curiosity, why that route? Why not the Bahamas, Dom. Rep., 2weeks fuel-stop in Puerto Rico, then down the islands, 4day-carnival-fuelstop in Trinidad, Guyana, and/or Surinam, and/or Fr. Guyana, before Brazil???
I met some gentlemen a few years back, ferrying a few S-76C's down from the factory to Belo Horisonte, and they all did that route....
Bristows in T&T, delivered a 212 some time back to Mexico, and they did not go though latin-Am. but up the island, over Cuba, to Cancun.

It may have something to do with that the Taco-bell route is just about 1500NM longer, and far longer between the fuel-stops from Cordilleras Oriental in Col. through the Amazon in Brazil...

But hey.. I might be wrong and miss out on the REAL scenic route through Colombia

Just my 2 cents
