 8 weeks Andean Countries -- Costs?
Hello Mark and everybody else,
could you help me to estimate how much the following trip may roughly cost? (a guesstimate totally suffices):
- 8 weeks Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia (end June-end August)
- the first 2 weeks a Spanish school in Ecuador with one-on-one classes and a host family
- i'd assume the usual "suspects" along the way in regard to sight-seeing (you mentioned in another thread that Machu Picchu will "hurt" one's budget; by how much is that?)
- private room in hostels but i am really flexible in re to the quality
I have spent 3 summers in Central America and speak i'd say some okay-level of Spanish. Unfortunately i don't have much clue about prices in the Andean countries.
Many thanks!
Torsten :-)
P.S: Having seen your pictures, I'd love to hike Cotopaxi, too. Any ideas how that could be possible, given that i'll be traveling by myself? Guides were really expensive already in Guatemala, so we did tours by ourselves. That however did not include walking across glaciers and only went up to around 4,200 meters.
