My friends and I (four of us in total) are considering to go to South America at the end of the year. Where are the best and safest places to go? We know we want to begin the trip in Peru (we’ll spend 1 week there) but we don’t know what to do after that…The Peru part will be mostly trekking, so we’d prefer to go somewhere really fun for the next three weeks. (Somewhere where we can learn to tango and get drunk and meet hot men). Also, where are the safest places? We are all 19/20 year old females so I guess you could say we’re ‘easy prey’ for predators. Also, where should we go with guided tours and where should we just do things by ourselves? Thankyou!!

I’m considering traveling around S. America for around 6 months to a year and wondered how much it would roughly cost. I would be back packing and am not expecting to sleep anywhere fancy or travel in luxery but I would like to hit some major cities for nights out as well as traveling to more remote places. Also if anyone knows the anyway to pick up casual work there to earn whilst I’m traveling that would be much appreciated. I don’t speak much Spanish at the moment but fully intend on learning.

Didz asked:


I am planning to go traveling in South America around March and would like to know the opinions of people who have already been.

My girlfriend and I have looked at doing tours through companies such as GAP adventures but they appear to be expensive and lacking much flexibility (most cities are only stopped in for 2 days which doesn’t seem long enough to me) and i would like to know how easy and expensive it is to travel the country by yourself & how reliable and expensive overland transport is.

The other thing is safety; while my girlfriend is paranoid of being kidnapped by drug dealers i would like to know which areas are best to stay away from and of anything that i should be particularly aware of.

I’m 26 and have been married for almost 5 years. Ever since I have been with my wife I have always told her that I want to travel around the world while I am still young. Initially I had hoped that we could do it together but I know that my wife would not be able to get through all the backpacking, and hiking involved in the 6 week tour that I plan to go on. She agrees with this however she does not want me to go alone. We do not have any kids so this is, I feel, the perfect time for me to do it. I don’t want to look back 15 years from now and regret not doing this. Any advice?
The trip is with a well known tour Company with about 24 people in the group. I would concider it very safe. I’d deffinately not go at it alone.

wonderous asked:


i ask because i just got back from south america on a tour, i visited paraguay, brazil and argentina

the people over there look like mostly white people or some other mixes but none look really like porto ricans or mexicans which is what we have in the usa.

i was wondering, becing their culture so different is it ok to call them latinos?

shouldnt that term just be for people of mexican or porto rican or central american races which resemble each other more?
im sort of confused, thats why

My brothers and I want to travel outside of the US possibly this winter and arent sure where the affordable spots are being that the US economy is pretty bad off at the moment.
Can anyone provide some cheap locations (cheap to fly to as well) in Europe, South & Central America, etc. ?
