One Month - August 2008 - Where would you go?

[SiobhanJohn]

Hi there all, Some advice please - My husband and I have got one month to go to South America - which countries would you go to and what would you not miss? We are thinking Brazil, Peru, Chilli, Argentina - I presume you cannot get to all of them in such a short time but let me know your ideas and suggestions please. Thanks. Siobhan

I have been to Brazil and you could easily spend one month there. I brought an air passes so that I could travel around the country. I was there fro three weeks and still did not get to see every thing I wanted to see.

You are correct in saying that it is not easy to get to each country in a short time. What month do you plan to travel?

Hi there - well you are right - it is a lot to consider and we need to really do some research. We are hoping to go in August time.

If you go in August, keep in mind that it will be winter in South America. It will be warm around the equator, but it could get cold in places like Argentina and the south of Brazil. Tourist should be good, i.e. cheaper prices for hotel rooms, during that time since it is winter down there.

It entirely depends on your interests - what are your interests? They're all very different countries!

In Chile & Argentina it's winter - but only in the south of the country.
