 6 Weeks in South America :)
Hola Amigos!
So I have been planning a South American adventure for ages now! I reckon I can get about 6 weeks off work from the end of March, maybe slightly longer but we will see...
The route I plan on taking is flying into Rio spend a few days there and then travel down to Iguazu Falls then onto Buenos Aires - How long would this realistically take? Is travel relatively easy or is it better to do a tour? (I maybe travelling alone at this point)
From BA I was thinking of taking a flight to Santiago, however having done a bit of research I have heard there is not really not much to see there. I am intending to travel up through Bolivia so it maybe a better option to fly from BA to Salta and then take the 'Tren de las Nubes' up to Northern Argentina and then onto Bolivia? In Bolivia I want to see the Salt flats etc and then travel up to Lake Titiaca and then onto Peru do the Inca Trail etc, finishing in Lima. Again is this route easy to travel or is it better/safer to do an organised tour?
Just really would like to know if this is realistic given the time frame? Also will be away for most of April so is this a good time to be in these countries?
Any other tips/recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Just want to make the most of the time there!
Muchas Gracias!
Claire
