A very important point to consider before any adventure is a good health insurance covering the kinds of activities you will be performing in your trip. This is important since, regardless of how much planning we may do, we can never be sure what's around the corner.
Today we have settled for a particular one. We will do a 3 months long Explorer package with http://www.worldnomads.com, a world renowned health insurance for this kind of thing. It has coverage for a variety of sports (more than 100 including, of course, bicycle touring) and a very high coverage for any medical emergencies. Their premium is not too high, which is always a good thing. :)
Here s a list of things they cover for residents of Brazil:

That's it for today! Tomorrow we'll order our bikes.
Cheers!
