South American countries, like Brazil,
aren't obvious holiday destinations for British travellers.
Expect that to change in the next few years. In the mean time, read on for our South America travel headlines.

Trip to Manaus, Brazil (03/04/2010)
|
My trip in Manaus was really exciting and adventure. Everything was so perfect and I learned a lot from those tours. If you are passionate of adventures, you must try it. Just choose the right agency and good service to avail your trip for the assistance. I had chosen my trip with Amazing Tours Agency as I searched it on the internet. At first I am unsure but everything went so very well as my first day trip started up to the end of the next days I had with them..

Work and Travel in Chile (02/17/2010)

Sorry, your question is a little vague..

Would you travel to S. America with children? (02/17/2010)
|
Chile is the most developed of the South American countries with an excellent infrastructure - travel, communications, health care, etc. Also with plenty to do.
There are activities to suit all ages and abilities - also climates and geography. You can choose from the dry heat of the north, to the wetter greener pastures of the South. You can choose pleasant rolling landscapes such as Chiloe, or mountainous scenery of the Andes.
It is all very easy to get around.
Having been to Machu ...

Spanish courses (02/16/2010)
|
Well, I am not a Spanish teacher here in Mendoza, but have been teaching English for several years, and I am familiar with many of the Spanish schools and teachers here, and have talked to a lot of foreign students who have studied Spanish over the years.
Yes, it is true that most Spanish teachers do not have qualifications or training to teach Spanish in Argentina. In fact, many do not have teaching qualifications at all. There are few places to get training as a Spanish language teacher in ...

Is it true that cocaine is very easy to find in La Paz, Bol (02/05/2010)
|
Cocain is not produced in Bolivia for the most part. It's shipped out as raw material elsewhere in Peru, Colombia, paraquay and Brazil.
Actually, Santa Cruz Bolivia is rumored to have started producing cocain. Lapaz? No. Indios there will attack and kill any mob that try to corrupt to that extent.
Coca is needed in high altitude and where nutrition is insufficient. The indios fight for the existance of the Coca Leaf, but have killed off numerous Colombian/Peruvian coups that tried to ...

Most Dangerous Country in South America (02/05/2010)
|
I saw a list in this forum, and boy was that completely off. Going off 2002 data (can't find newer data), I can identify the 3 safest, and the three more dangerous countries that correlate with Homicide rates only. All countries have issues with pit pocketers. I'm not going to put up the graph, but numbers were %, not amount as that would be unfair for the larger countries.
Top 3 safest in South America
1) Chile
2) Ecuador
3) Bolivia
Chile makes sense. HOwever, Bolivia and Ecuador does ...

Peru/Bolivia advice (02/05/2010)

Both are beutiful countries. Peru however has a significantly higher homicide rate then Bolivia. Bolivia is extremely safe, but pit pockers are everywhere, as they are through out Latin America.
Both are very nice..

Travel in South America by your own car, wise or not? (01/30/2010)
|
We bought our vehicle in Santiago almost 4 months ago and have been traveling around parts of South America in it. It has been an amazing experience, but sadly we are now at the end of our trip and are selling the van.
We have a fully kitted out Ford Aerostar Van, 1993, and it's in great condition. We also have all sorts of camping gear to throw into the package including a gas stove, blow up matresses, camping table and chair set, cooler box, cooking equipment, lamp, etc. We drove the car ...

South America flights (TACA) (12/16/2009)
|
Does anyone know about TACA? is it reliable to fly with? I've found a cheap fare on their website from Lima to Cuzco $88 USD return. Their flight back to Lima at 9:15am but my flight from Lima to Sao Paulo departs at 11:55am. It seems I can make it if the flights are on schedule. But just don't know if they are reliable or not, any thoughts?
Thanks

Buenos Aires tour guide (12/09/2009)
|
[quote]Thank you for the info. I looked at that site you recommended, but those tours look a little "canned" to me. I really want to find a guide who can move at my pace and adjust the tour, being flexible enough to let me linger over some unforeseen find or speed up/skip what I find boring. I might be the only one going or I might have some friends with me, too, so someone who is willing to take a group or just a single is important. Thanks[/quote]

Help about Uruguay beaches! (11/18/2009)

Hey there, I stayed at Punta del Diablo in March 2007, which was very sweet:
http://www.portaldeldiablo.com.uy/modules/inicio/mainFrame.php?lenguaje=en
It's all a little ramshakle, with mud roads and all that, but lots of nice cabins and the beach is nice, although when we were there (March) the beach was covered in dead beetles. Probably some sort of spectacular annual event, but I don't know what. I should look it up!
Having said that, just checked the latest from Lonely Planet, and it ...

Bus travel in Peru (11/18/2009)
|
[quote]I occasionally remember being videoed or photographed getting on buses while in S.A., but I can't specifically remember if it happened in Peru, but I suspect it did.[/quote]
Yes, they do, at least witrh Cruz del Sur where you`re videotaped once while boarding the bus and again when seated in the bus.
By the way : Curz del Sur indeed is a good bus company - travelled quite a distance with them a month a go :D.
