South America...mark it on the agenda...

So the top choice of the New York Times "41 Places to Go in 2011" is Santiago, Chile. I'm good for that. It was always on my must see cities/locations in South America...right up there with Montevideo (and pretty much anywhere in Uruguay), Buenos Aires (and pretty much anywhere in Argentina), southern South America/Patagonia/Ushuaia/Tierra del

it´s expensive travel in the continent. there obvioulsy are ways to travel cheap but if you need flights and you buy them here they cost A LOT.
now...why Montevideo??? it´s ok but boring and sad. the east coast is better and the country if you like quiet, cows and sheeps.
just curious....because I live in Montevideo.
You have a place to stay if you come when I am still here :)

It may be pricey but honestly, in comparison, it is so expensive to travel internally within my own country that I'd rather travel abroad. I guess the internal flights are what will get you in South America as well but the rates for hotels and food are significantly less than in Europe and North America. I don't expect to travel to Asia, Australia or Africa anytime soon as they would require a significant time commitment (not too mention the expensive overseas flights) so South America seems a reasonable option
