If you are looking for full coverage there might be a company but, as far as we know, all the US companies stopped offering it a long time ago...maybe a European company will do it. For the required insurance: Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru are purchased in country (either at the border or one of the border towns - could be over 100 miles away) and we were able to purchase a policy via email that covered Bolivia, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Brazil, and Uruguay from speiserseguros. It's been a while but our contact was gisela AT speiserseguros DOT com DOT ar, obviously fix the email address. iOverlander is a great resource and maybe the Pan-American FB groups but most of us veterans have left those groups due to petulant know-it-alls that have zero experience who want to argue with those that do.

Hi this is a link to Carolina you can get insurance with her via Whatsapp for all of south America if I remember correctly you can only get it for 4 months at a time, the price is in USD but very straight forward..
