A. It depends on the time of year you're comming. I'm sure that every south american country has a great beach to go to (except Bolivia and Paraguay). From December-March you can pick between: Brazil.- Florianapolis, Rio de Janeiro Uruguay.- Punta del Este Argentina.- Buenos Aires Chile.- Vina del Mar, Cachagua, La Serena Peru.- Lima Fom October to April: Peru.- Mancora Brazil.- Fortaleza Ecuador.- Salinas Colombia.- Gorgona Island Rest of the year Colombia.- Santa Marta Venezuela Panama

A. The land route through Panama is not safe. Getting through the Darien Gap can be treacherous and definitely not something to do alone. Sandinista terrorists...The Shining Path... control large areas of the crossings. The law is a knife and a nod from a Sandinista or FARC leader or a local official in league with them. In addition, the terrain itself is hostile, disease-ridden, and a place only for travel-hardened, tough adventurers, aside from some coastal resorts behind barbed-wire fences, constantly patrolled by military and police units to keep the holidaymakers inside safe and cosy who can then go home and boast of their heroic exploits in surviving a fortnight in the Darien Gap! Not a place I would go to, knowing that other people… [cont.]

Is it possible to go to Mexico and South America by boat?
Q. I'm planning to visit Mexico and South America and would like to avoid traveling by airplane if possible. Is there a way to go to these countries by sea? I know there are luxury cruises that go to the Caribbean. I guess I'm thinking of something a bit less frills, just a means of transportation. Haven't found anything so far. Any tips?
Asked by jorgeletoreador - Sun Feb 1 06:24:58 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. There are a lot of tour boats/cruise ships that go to Mexico and South America: An alternate way is on a freighter. A lot of freighters carry a limited number of passengers as well as cargo. You might try some of them. another way is via a good travel agent that knows the best and cheapest. And one that will work with you to stay in your budget. Usually over all unless you are going there to live and work a good travel agent is the best and cheapest way to go.

A. Unless you are a fluent Spanish speaker, with skills that are either transferable to the local population and will help them get employment, or, with skills that are desperately needed in the area, you are probably not going to be able to find a job in Central or South America -- it's much more appropriate for social service organizations to hire local people to do work than to pay someone to come in from another country. That said, you do have some options, if you are willing to pay your airfare, local transporation costs, costs for your security and staff to supervise you, food, etc. Here is a web site that can help you learn more about the skills and experience desired by long-term placement organizations, and how you can gain that… [cont.]

Asked by cornholio - Thu May 21 17:05:26 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Your question is odd. You ask where it's safe for americans to drink tap water in South America. Is there anything wrong with Americans?I'm asking because in my country (Argentina) we drink tap water and so do tourists from anywhere, and no one has gotten sick so far. So I guess our water is not nationality-biased. You can drink tap water safely here; fresh, clear and crystalline tap water. I thought everyone knew that tap water IS drinking water. It's different if you want to drink from a well, for example. But today those are rare even in the countryside.
