Memory of Latin America

[gerbie]

Last month I made a trip to a part of Latin America. I started my journey in Montevideo, Uruguay, then continued travelling via Colonia and Paysandu to Argentina, where I visited Santa Fe, Rosario and Buenos Aires before flying south to Ushaia and Calefate. Back north from Bariloche I crossed the Andes into Chile, where I visited Valdivia, Valparaiso and Santiago.

It took me just about a month to do so. I wrote a little story in my LJ, nearly every day, though some days twice. Just for those of you who were away as well in August. Or for those who have missed some or all of these stories. Perhaps some of you even want to reread them. The rest of you can ignore this post.

Depends on where you want to go and how you want to travel. I was lucky to find a reasonable flight to get there and back, the flights in Argentina I arranged at the spot. More expensive if you're a foreigner, but still not bad for European standards and impossible to avoid as buses are not as frequent in winters and take ages in Patagonia.

Day to day life is cheap. In Uruguay and Argentina, but also in Chile, it is not difficult to live for 20-30 euro's a day, food, lodging and other expenses included.
