Has anyone ever been to South America? 10 Points for Best Answer!?

Question

My friends and I (four of us in total) are considering to go to South America at the end of the year. Where are the best and safest places to go? We know we want to begin the trip in Peru (we'll spend 1 week there) but we don't know what to do after that...The Peru part will be mostly trekking, so we'd prefer to go somewhere really fun for the next three weeks. (Somewhere where we can learn to tango and get drunk and meet hot men). Also, where are the safest places? We are all 19/20 year old females so I guess you could say we're 'easy prey' for predators. Also, where should we go with guided tours and where should we just do things by ourselves? Thankyou!!

Answer 1

From what you are asking, there are absolutely no safe places. Rio is one of the cities that you are describing, Caracas is another...be careful, be safe, and by the way, I would never let my 24 year old go to either and she has traveled Europe by herself. Go to an ASTA travel agency and you can find youth tours that can be great fun. One out the is for young adults up to 35
