Hi All, I'm looking at leaving Santiago Chile at the end of July 2012 and traveling South America to Central America.
The later you book flights, the more they will cost. Obviously flights will save you endless hours on buses, but they ar a lot more expensive so what your budget allows.
I quite liked Uruguay but not a lot there. It's only a tiny country. Not that much in Costa Rica.
I would definitely spend more time in Peru. There's Lima, Cusco (with a number of side trips like Sacred Valley, Saqsaywaman, etc), Machu Picchu, Nazca and other places.
Colombia is potentially dangerous though nowhere near as bad as it was. There has been some recent accounts of Ecuadorians taking the law into their own hands and stringing up thieves. Honduras used to be bad but now it is just a bit primitive.
Lots of petty theft about in Central and South America so be careful of your money and possessions. Divide your money up so if worse comes to worse they don't get it all, get a money belt, sew a button on your pockets, whatever.
Hostelbookers is quite good on cheap but good rooms. Hostelworld on cheap but so-so rooms.
Thank you!
