Flying Along South American West Coast
I would like to fly a piston aircraft from North America along the west coast of South America all the way to Ushuaia. Does anyone have any experience or suggestions for such a journey? I am wondering particularly about the availability of avgas, use of local handlers, suggested agencies for managing permitting and local fees along the way. Stops are planned in Mexico, Belize, Honduras Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile and southern Argentina. Thank you.

Regarding Honduras, on the west coast airport of entry would be Toncontin in the capital city of Tegucigalpa. Brush up on your IFR skills for that one. No problem with Avgas there and no need for a handler.
I believe that Colombia has a bunch of regulations for transient stays beyond 48 hours; I suggest that you check into those.
