 Some questions
I just had a few questions about traveling in South America.
1. Do I need to worry about different foods I eat? I was told when I went to Mexico to not eat beef or drink the water... just wondering if this is the same sort of situation in South America or if I don't have to worry about this stuff.
2. I was under the impression before visiting this site that Chile and Argentina were the safest countries and El Salvador, Bolivia, Columbia, etc were not safe to travel around. Are these other countries safe for someone from the U.S.?
3. Can you lay out how the weather is in what months. Which are the best months to travel around? Which are the worst?
4. When you say that you should estimate $12-$15 per day is this talking about eating out at restaurants or buying cheaper food at stores? Also, is this U.S. dollars per day?
5. When backpacking (I have never gone backpacking before!!) what types of foods do you bring with you in your bag so that you don't starve if you aren't near a town to eat. Can you buy this food when down there or should I bring stuff along?
I think these are all the questions I have for now. Thanks a ton!
