If you spend more than $40/day (on average) you are doing something wrong. I suggest saving the cheaper countries for the end of your trip so leaving won't seem so abrupt. If you haven't purchased a guidebook yet, I suggest the South American Handbook. I just noticed, on page 19 of the preview for this guidebook, there is a chart of the average cost per day for 2 people for each country. This might help decide your itinerary. Have a great time!!!

With that being said, some of the other countries that you mentioned will be a bit more expensive, the best source for information on traveling in South America that I have found has been from Viva travel guides, here is a link to there website, hope this helps!

But, good luck! That sounds like a really fun time. An adventure like that is something everyone wants but very few are actually willing to go through it all to achieve it. Have fun :) I apologize as this isn’t really an answer. But, good luck! That sounds like a really fun time.
