South America Travel

Wonderment asked:


I’m wondering which is the safest, and I’m in college so I’d like a city that’s coastal and has nightlife.

JAMES H asked:


I live in Southern Cal with a fixed income so.
If I had a boat, could I really travel around south America? Port hopping?

Other than Dock fees and groceries, are there fees involved?

sg4578 asked:


So far I am planning alone but am a little nervous about traveling all over S. America by myself. I am a college educated, 22 year old, male, white New Yorker. I want to start in Bogota Colombia and travel south to Peru, Brazil, Chile and Argentina. So far I have thought I would fly into Bogota and out of Buenos Aires four or so weeks later.

Does a trip like this interest any other American?

Does anyone have any tips to make this adventure safer and more fun?

I would rather have a travel companion to add to the safety of the trip, and also split costs like hotel rooms or car rentals.

Has anyone done something like this and have knowledge to share? Even if you have specific information on one region in South America I would love to hear your input.

Thanks everyone!

I’m soon going to South America, and my trip starts in Venezuela. Now my understanding is that as a Maltese citizen i don’t require any Visa, however it seems as though a return/onward ticket is required. Since i will be traveling around South America for around a year, and i don’t know what route im taking, purchasing a return ticket doesn’t really make sense to me… Does anybody know, from their own experience whether this will really be a problem? Thanks
