I feel tired just looking at your itinerary. But I like to stay longer in fewer locations. Have you left time for travel in between locations? Rest? You are doing a lot of moving around. Some of the distances might be farther than you think, or there may be delays. I was stuck in Uyuni because the roads were flooded, so I just had to stick around. I also learned that although the countries in South America look smaller, they have great distances because the roads are either windy, or only two lanes, or both. What if you really like one place and want to stay longer? This happened to me in Medellin. I meant to go to the coffee region and just decided to stay in Medellin instead. Or what if you hear about this great other location not on the list? I guess what I am saying is, maybe leave room for flexibility.
well , I agree. I planed 1 month from the Iguazu Falls / Brazil to Lima / Peru. It was too less time after all. For to get involved with people, culture and country. my body had to fight with the altitute in Bolivia s Mountains ( 5000 m high !) I recommand you either to take more time for this journey or to take a smaller distance for the given time ( e.g. from Columbia to Argentina )
Or if you prefer a holiday like hop on . Use a flight pass to save money....
