Help with travelling in South America?

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.
