Does anyone have any recommended routes for South America? We have about three months and will be heading in october.
Thanks

Our 3 month trip through SA went like this back in 2006 during June/July/August.....

Ecuador - Quito, Cuenca
Peru - Tumbes, Huaraz, Lima, Cusco, Puno
Bolivia - La Paz, Uyuni
Chile - Atacama (Desert), Santiago
Argentina - Buenes Aires, Iguazo,
Uraguay - Brief day trip to Montivieo from BA
Brazil - Rio

Lots more smaller places along the way..... highlights were:

Inca Trail (booked months in advance)
Iguazu Falls at Brazil Argentine border
Buenos Aires....favorite city in the world
Salt Plains in Bolivia
Nazca lines in Peru
Skiing in Santiago

Learn some spanish, it will be invaluable.

I'm getting married next year and want to go bak to SA for the honeymoon, loved it!

Hi Clint Eastman!

That route sounds amazing! I'm planning on going to SA alone for maybe around three months next July- how much did you spend overall over the 3 months?

Thanks!

Hi there Ev448, & Welcome to boards.ie!

I closed the other thread as it was from 2010. I moved your post, and the post you quoted from the 2010thread in here as you are enquiring about solo/Independent travelling.

Hope you Enjoy your time on Boards.ie
Thanks,
