Panama
Costa Rica
Chile

Here in my country Panama. Cost of living is very low and It's very easy to make a business, People want to invest here every day more

Obviously there is Crime but it's not as high as other Latin American countries such as El Salvador and Guatemala

ColombianitoNY- NO MAS GUERRA!

I would say Bogota, because it's one of the biggest cities in the world, also there is too much money movement in Bogota...life over there is good, it's a really safe city and very clean. you will always do something in Bogota and fairs and everything...another options i would say san jose, costa rica. Buenos Aires, Argentina and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. but i dont know those cities...just Bogota!! good luck and make the right choice

Chile, unlike many Latin countries, is not "infected" with the "Chavez virus". The economy is stable, is a relatively safe place, people are very intellectual, food sucks, housing is fairly cheap, they are very open-minded and liberals.

Plunge McNugget

Uruguay, Chile, Argentina, Costa Rica, and regions of Brazil and Paraguay

Let's see...........Guatemala is too dangerous to be around in,El Salvador is the same thing,maybe Panama or Costa Rica,.......mostly all of the countries over there are all dangerous!

Chile has a better economy and a more democratic government than most other Latin American countries.I visited there twice,one time living there for 6 months.It is a beautiful country with friendly people.
Best wishes.

I hate Hillary Clinton

I bet Costa Rica is good to live in. Cost of living is low and everything is cheap.

Trip Take Aways

Doritos South America friendliest nation league *
Winning our hearts at NUMBER ONE are those crazy and lovable Colombians
A surprise entry for NUMBER TWO: the un-assuming Uruguayans
Sneaking up for a very close NUMBER THREE are the pure and practical Peruvians
Shuffling only a step behind at NUMBER FOUR are the ever helpful Ecuadorians
Edging in at NUMBER FIVE are the Argentineans, whose taxi drivers deserve an extra special mention for their chatty-ness
Suffering from cultural gap wider than the Amazon Basin at NUMBER SIX are the bargaining Bolivians
Lagging behind at NUMBER SEVEN are the chillier Chileans
Sauntering at the bottom are the brazen Brazilians, but the language barrier may be a reason for this!
It has to be said though, South America is a very friendly continent!
*Sponsored by Doritos who got us through so many dodgy-meal-moments

Go to PERÃš the people is so friendly, the cost of living is low, the food is the best, the capital city Lima is so fun, they are always open to help the foreign people, is easy to get a job, sure don't expected to win a lot of money, but the experience is unique.
the country offers you so many different pictures to see, Coast, Andes, Amazon.
Chile is boring, cold, nothing new just a long cost of desserts and cold water.
