I want to travel somewhere in latin/south America, where should I go?


Travel Info
I will spend a month in August somewhere south. I want to be able to lay be a beach and/or pool. Practice dancing salsa or tango, be near culture (museums, etc), practice speaking spanish, and have nice weather. I'll be doing it alone. Where should I go?

Travel Tips
I've traveled extensively through Ecuador and Colombia. If this is your first trip I would go to Colombia. If you have a month you can really get a good sense of what Colombia is all about.

I would spend time in Bogota, Medellin, Cartagena, Santa Marta & San Andres.

It would be good for you to possibly make some friends there via the internet so they can show you around and take you to places where the locals hang out.

Who knows, you may end up like me. I fell in love with Colombia... it's people, it's food, it's music and culture....

I've traveled there every 3 - 4 months for the last 5 years. Feel free to drop me an email if you want to further chat.

Brazil!
well if you want to practice spanish you can try Peru and visit Machu Picchu in the Andes and im pretty sure you can find salsa places if you look....and there is also a beach but it is usually cold...it kinda hard to get all you want in only one country...
Tango and culture?
Argentina.
Buenos Aires is very european , affordable, great food and incredible nightlife. People are beautiful, a mix of latin and european.
Just, don't expect nothing "typical" of latin America. no mariachis or tacos. They have great pizza, ice cream, pasta and beef. Many museum, theatres and they even have 24 hours bookstores!
Buenos Aires was voted many times the best city in LAtin America by Conde Nast Traveler, Travel+Leisure, etc.

People are extremely friendly, and they'll make you feel at home.

i love argentina but i think you should go to Brazil...
if you want to improve your English and visit touristic places i recommend you travel to Peru. in august the things are very cheap . yo can travel to Cuzco (august is an special date because the prizes are low ), there you can visit a lot lot lot lot lot of of place outside the city or into . you can also visit the north of Peru like lambayeque, cajamarca, the weather is cool and you can practice Spanish. i recommend you travel to Peru because we are the unique country of south America that no use (ascent - this word is in Spanish, i don't know how to say it in Spanish)
