By the way you describe yourselves you're going to love BA and being there you are close by to many destinations. Remember that distances in South America are big.

The nearest place to go from BA is Punta del Este, Uruguay (733 Km) Iguazu falls is more than twice that distance (1,640 Km) and the Wine Tour in the Mendoza region (1,040 Km). Now the best wine in south america is located around the 35Â° Latitude South, on both sides and next to the Andes mountains (hot in the day, cold at night), the main cities on each side are: Mendoza (Arg) and Santiago (Chile). So this is a good reason why you should go to Santiago Chile and since it's hot take a chance to visit Valparaiso - ViÃ±a del Mar. You can go from Mendoza to Stgo by bus in 7 hours.

Finally you can take a bus from Santiago to Arica, cross the border to Peru in Tacna then from there to Arequipa (2,700 Mts above sea level) then to Cuzco (3,600 Mts) and Macchu Picchu. Take at least 6 days in Cuzco. From Cuzco to Puno (3,800 Mts) you can go either by bus or by train, but take the best one possible. In Puno you are going to see Lake Titicaca and go to La Paz in Bolivia (4,000 mt above sea level) then down to Cochabamba (2,700 Mts) finally to Santa Cruz (420 Mts above sea level) where the Bolivian Intl Airport is, to take the plane back to BA. Bolivia is cheap to take the best means of transportation available.

This is a trip you'll nevr forget

GO TO BRAZIL!

1 month in Buenos Aires, 1 Month in Rio de Janeiro, 1 month in SÃ£o Paulo!

What's to do in Brazil
Rio de Janeiro
Corcovado (Mountain)
Christ the Redeemer (It's a new wonder of the world, I'm not Christian, but I've been to see the statue twice, and I don't regret it. It's amazing!)
Carmen Miranda Museum
Teatro Municipal (collection of old theatres, very worth while)
Sao Bento Monastery Complex (colonial monastery)

SÃ£o Paulo
MASP â€“ Museou de Arte de SÃ£o Paulo (Best art museum in Latin America!)
Ibirapuera Park (kind of like a Brazilian central Park)
The Jardins (tons of shops)
Mercado Municipal (It's been SÃ£o Paulo's main open-air grocery for a century now!)

GO TO BRAZIL!

then, do whatever you want after that.

Trying to have fun forever!

bolivia is fun but brazil is sooo much better! there are so many beautiful sights to see in brazil and sooo many fun things to do!! and bolivia is a very poor country, and brazil has a lot more money...you should really go there! i have personally been to brazil 6 times and bolivia 8.

Chile is a great wine country. They love their wine. Good places in Bolivia are Isla de Sol in the highlands and Madidi National Park in the lowlands - amazon jungle! If you are up for it there is a biking adventure down from la paz to the madidi entrance town - rurrenabaque. Ride the death road with Gravity tours!!! Also in peru - Maccu Picchu is amazing although the prices are a little hiked up they're still ok.

either way whatever you decide to do make sure you ENJOY YOURSELF.

Go to Colombia! I recommend Bogota, the capital, which is in the center of the country is a metropolitan city with great restaurants, shopping, museums.. and Cartagena de Indias, which is on the northern coast has great hotels and beaches, and a muralled part of the city from colonial times which is beautiful.

I would get a car and go EVERYWHERE!
But, if I was in South America again, I would absolutely NOT miss Machu Picchu in Peru. You could go through Bolivia to get there :)
I would take a few weeks time traveling through Brazil, then Bolivia, end up in Peru - maybe see Lima - then Cuzco and the ruins and then catch a flight back to BA.
