For a foreign exchange student, which country is better to go in South America?


Travel Info
I have the following options
1. Costa Rica
2. Panama
3. Paraguay
4. Chile

which country would you choose for 6 weeks during the summer(all of July) and why?
I think that Chile would be a cool place because its the end of the world plus andes mountains plus ocean but thats just me.

Travel Tips
If you are North American, Panama (at least Panama City) will be most familiar to you since it has an American infrastructure thanks to the U.S. history with the canal. However, many Panamanians in the city will speak English (it's a big financial and banking center) so if you are looking for total Spanish immersion, I would go with Chile or Paraguay. Not Costa Rica because it is a hot retirement spot for American, British and Canadian retirees. You might not get the full immersion experience. Good luck and be sure to do your own research to make the best informed decision.

Must add, that it will be winter south of the equator during the time you will be on exchange so don't forget to factor in your weather preferences as well.

Costa Rica
For the time of year, I would say either Paraguay or Chile. because the other two are in the middle of the rainy season.
yeah it a nice place, and the girls are hot, but the girls from Argentina are HOTTER, i seen some of them in t.v. but the guys are fags.
i wouldn't go to costa rica, nor panama, because those countries are really poor.
Your reasons for Chile sound perfect to me. Costa Rica and Panama would be extremely hot. Not sure where Paraguay is. But mountains, the Pacific Ocean...... that is BEAUTIFUL!

Where ever you go, have fun! And talk to as many locals as you can, especially the older folks. You sure can learn a lot from them! LL
Well, first know that Costa Rica and Panama are in Central America, not South America.
Any map.
