What are the safest and best countries to visit in S. America?

Question

I am planning to visit Argentina, Chile and Peru. Is it difficult to travel country to country or city to city. Also any suggestion of top places to visit in any of the countries I listed above?

Answer 1

Peru is much cheaper than the other two countries.  It is easy to travel between those countries.  I would avoid crossing into Bolivia as the political-social situation is currently very unstable.  If you are a US citizen you will need to pay for  a visa to enter BOlviia, and Chile if you arrive by air in Santiago. they cost $100 US dollars.  You do not need a visa for Peru nor for Argentina.  There are first class bus service between the principle cities of Peru, Argentina and Chile.  Good luck.

Answer 2

All three countries are good choices and no, it is not difficult to travel from country to country.Public transportation in Latin America is both efficient and inexpensive.As far as top places to visit,"Emeve" has already given you some good suggestions and you can find a wealth of ideas, places to see and information on each of the countries by doing a simple search of the web.

My top places and your top places would likely be two different lists. I tend to ask the local people about their favorite places as I travel.They invariably seem to know about all the beautiful,secret little places that so far remain undiscovered & untrampled by the tourist hordes.

Buena suerte y buen viaje!

Well for sure you have to see their capital cities: Buenos Aires, Santiago and Lima.

In Argentina there is a lot to see like La Patagonia that is the austral part of the world. In Chile you can see dessert and 6000 meters high volcanos in the north: Iquique and others. And if you go South you can visit also glaciars in Antartica.

In Peru Cuzco and Machu Pichu. Well you have to study what you like to see.
