How much would a 3-4 month holiday travelling from South America cost?

Question

Not including flights to South America, but looking to head round most places.. Chile, Brazil, Peru.. etc etc. Not planning on working, and not planning on spending huge amounts.. How much do you think it would cost - minimum to maximum please. Thank you!

Answer 1

minimum 80 dollars per day

Answer 2

Depending on where you plan to eat or places to visit, I would play it safe and say 50 dollars a day. Chile is much more expensive than Peru, Argentina is fine right now and food is cheap there. Brazil is quite expensive regarding clothes and semi precious stones but food is sort of cheap. Try the souht of Chile and Argentina (Patagonia) where the view is breathtaking and food is really, really cheap.

Answer 3

unless you're a drug dealer, you need to start hustling hard with education like right now

Answer 4

Get a lonely planet guide. There are guides to each country, or there is a full South American guide.  The guides are very good for the budget oriented traveler.

For a point of reference, while in Peru I found several hostels for $7-$8 USD a nite where mostly backpackers stay. I was also able to find meals for $3-$5 USD. This is of course prices for the budget oriented traveler, you can also find highly expensive stuff.

Answer 5

Alot!!!
