Three to four places to visit in South America? |
Travel Info Next year I'm wanting to take my wife, her mom and one of our friends to South America. We want to go to Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires for sure, are there any other destinations that are a must or would be interesting to explore? Medellin or Bogota? Caracas? Santiago? Lima or Cuzco? Monteviedo? Any information is appreciated. If you know of any websites where they do multi-country or multi city tours it would be appreciated. I'm in Dallas, TX USA. Thanks! Travel Tips You will love Peru. Peru has a very rich culture and lots of places to visit. You can go to: Cusco (Macchu Picchu) To Ica (Paracas Reserve and Nazca Lines) Lima (The capital city lots of fine restaurants with delicious food and good night entertainment). There are also good city tours. Also good shopping malls. Northern Peru Coast, beaches (Mancora and Punta Sal). Northern Jungle (Iquitos, Moyobamba, Cajamarca) Southern Virgin Jungle (Reserve of Manu). And lots of places more...

Macchu Pichu - hands down! Go to Cuzco (not Lima) and then you can get to Macchu Pichu from there. I've never been, but it's a dream of mine. My dad lived in Chile for six months and loved it! He NEVER likes anywhere, NEVER wants to stay anywhere for long but, he wanted to stay there for good but, had his wallet swiped and lost access to his bank account and all that lovely stuff and my moronic sister didn't send him the information fast enough, but that was his only problem was getting pick pocketed. He said it was friggen awesome, the people are REALLY friendly, just don't try to drink a chilean under the table cus they'll whoop you! Also the spanish they speak there is really fast and full of slang he met people that have lived there for years and still had issues understanding it. I've never been there but judging on how much he raves about it, how clean it is (you have to purchase toilet paper in the "public" bathrooms just so you know) and how nice the people are, the food is really fresh and the air is clean. He was outside of the capital somewhere not quite sure where. He also went to Argentina once and liked it there a lot said the coffee was really good...obviously. Well have a great trip, make sure you put wallet, money etc in your FRONT pocket and keep an eye out for pick pockets. Cartagena, Colombia, really beautiful place to go..i am sure you will love it..plus, in Cartagena you can go to islas del rosario. 2 hours away is Santa Marta, also really beautiful, and you can go to tayrona park. Barranquilla, the four largest city of Colombia is also 2 hours away from Cartagena. Santa Marta has the second most beautuful beach in the world. bogota is also good to go. very cultural city and very secure Well personally I think that you shouldn't limit your travel sites to SOuth America. Have you ever considered, say, Nicaragua? or Panama? Nicaragua is unlike anything you have eer seen. It is beautiful and the people are very friendly. There is a lot of tourist sites and tourist help available. Definitely worth visiting. Maybe not this trip, maybe some other time..or maybe now..WHy not? But i cannot begin to describe the amazing experiences i have had there!! Arenal Volcano, Monteverde , and Punta Leona are all in Costa Rica and are all amazing to see. I would recommend all of them! though Punta Leona is more resorty. |
