I will be visiting Peru, Northern Argentina, possibly Buenos Aires and heading up to Brazil. I have about ten days, are there Bus routes that go country to country? About how much am I looking at in bus fare? Any advice?

Malomo asked:


The trip will be throughout the (European) winter period, around September – spring, so I assume there will be large difference between temperatures in the North and South additionally..

Paul asked:


Just wondered if anyone who has actually traveled South America for year could give me some advice on budget. A friend and myself are heading to South America next month and are hoping to see the travels out for a year if we can!…We have a budget of around $9,000 -$9,500 (after tickets have been payed for) and we were just wondering how far that would get us around South America..and indeed if we could see out the year

We are going to travel Colombia, — Venezuela,– (back into Colombia)– Ecuador,– Peru,– Bolivia,– Chile, — Argentina,– Uruguay,– Paraguay — Brazil

Not really interested (well yes we are but we wouldn’t loose any sleep if we didn’t go if you know what i mean) about visiting French Guiana, Guyana or Suriname due to the fact that it seems expensive we would be hassle to get visas etc (We are 2 British travelers by the way)

I know according to the LP the so called cheaper countries are Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia Argentina so our plan is to spend more time in these cheaper countries…

I know it all depends on your spending habits so im not really looking for any responses that say ‘depends if you like to got out drinking’ or ‘depends if you like going on tours’ etc …Just would be good if someone could give their opinion of a rough ball park figure from someone who has experience and has already been there and done it.

We are two 27 / 29 year old fella’s so we will obviously be spending on going out and sampling the nightlife, however at the same time we will not be going crazy, and will hopefully keeping a good balance to hopefully prolong the finances for the trip

Thanks to all who reply in advance, as this really will be invaluable advice info for us!

Thanks again!

Amelia asked:


I will be travelling through South America next year for 2 – 3 months (more likely to be three months) and would like to find out an estimated amount of how much money to take.

Does anyone know how much on an average day one would spend in South America? I will be travelling backpacker style.

Any help would be great!

My family and I are hoping to travel somewhere in South America this upcoming February. We hope it to be relatively warm, a safe place for the family, and also, not to burn a hole in our wallets. My daughter speaks pretty much fluent spanish, so language isn’t that much of an issue… Our family likes to do a lot while on vacation, so a place with some interesting history and things to explore would be wonderful.

i am trying to calculate the exact rate which South America is moving at. So i need to know how far it has moved since it was part of the supercontinent Pangea some 200 million years ago. any information is helpful, and if you have it, please provide the website, or source. Thankyou.

Benny asked:


I am moving to Buenos Aires, Argentina, in the fall and really want to explore some of the surrounding countries. Are there any fairly cheap forms of transportation (trains, local airlines, etc.) available to do so?

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.
