I am planning to travel to South America in August. Does anyone want to plan this trip with me? |
So far I am planning alone but am a little nervous about traveling all over S. America by myself. I am a college educated, 22 year old, male, white New Yorker. I want to start in Bogota Colombia and travel south to Peru, Brazil, Chile and Argentina. So far I have thought I would fly into Bogota and out of Buenos Aires four or so weeks later.
Does a trip like this interest any other American?
Does anyone have any tips to make this adventure safer and more fun?
I would rather have a travel companion to add to the safety of the trip, and also split costs like hotel rooms or car rentals.
Has anyone done something like this and have knowledge to share? Even if you have specific information on one region in South America I would love to hear your input.
Thanks everyone! |

No, sorry. This August I'm flying to New York!!! But dont be afraid to travel on your own, stick to known places, read your Lonely Planet guide and do some research before you come to South America. Someone said going to Patagonia, I agree it's the most lovely place in the earth but not in August when its the middle of winter and you freeze like a popsicle.
Check the tons of resolved questions in all of the countries you will visit, I am sure you will find a lot of answers to your own queries. |

Awesome dude!
I would be so down for that except that I am in the middle of major projects for work.....I was supposed to go to Egypt for 2 weeks but had to kill those plans...
I been to Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Brasil and Colombia in South America....
Please be careful in my beautiful home country of Colombia.....I am glad you want to go there......and I am sure you won't leave disappointed but it potentially can be dangerous depending where you decide to go ...especially if u plan to travel out of the country by land or boat....
I suggest you fly out of Colombia......If your plan is to go to Amazonian capital Leticia....then take a boat to Iquitos in Peru.....not sure how safe it is but it may be a better option.....I would look into that.....(getting to Leticia is by plane only).
There will be parts of South America that are a bit shady....but one thing South Americans are is very friendly....
There are very obvious tourist attractions....one of my favorites was on the boarder of Paraguay, Brasil and Argentina....Waterfalls (Foz de Iguacu) and the Itapu Dam(largest in the world).
Ending your trip in Buenos Aires. is a good ending stop....you can check out Uruguay....(Colonia de Saramento or Montevideo) while you stay in BA.
There is a lot one can do in South America.....
Not sure about the order......Colombia.....to Peru.....Chile...to Argentina and end in Brasil....seems like the most logical order.....Unless you cross through Bolivia and Paraguay..to Brasil....you can end your trip in Santiago, Chile..
Look into local "packaged" tickets from TAM, LAN or even TACA airlines and their associates and figure out how much it would cost you to but a x number of 1 way tickets to these locations....(Like a Round the World Ticket)...but for just the immediate area......They would normal allow you to fly with airlines within the same Alliance (Like One World and Star Alliance).....give that into consideration because South America is big....and 4 weeks seems like a short time to enjoy everything ......not rush.....Bad part about flying is the Airport Tax one needs to pay every time u fly internationally.
Good Luck! |

Now, if you would've asked this question back a few years ago...
I'm headed to Guatemala (Central America) in about 5 weeks myself... to move there.
Hope you enjoy your trip, but I wouldn't do it alone for any reason. What is prompting you to go? maybe that would shed some light on what type of information you need. |

I reccommend you to visit the Patagonia in Argentina. It has the most beautiful scenaries, friendly people, good food, lot of fun and more. If you want to find turistic information about the Patagonia and the south in Argentina see in http://viaggi.patagonia-argentina.com You will find all you need to travel to the Patagonia. |
