I think you mean 9833km? South America is not that long unless he was riding in circles around it or something.

that's 9,833 miles.

The road distance distance from Cartagena, Columbia to Ushuaia [1] is ~ 10,433 km (by Google) so the actual distance pedalled over 13 months seems reasonable given side trips, indirect paths, back tracking, non main roads, etc. [1]
