I need your help /trv/ I have six weeks in the period between

> don't want to see many US tourists
I'd avoid Panama and Costa Rica then. Belize is also safer than most so has Americans visiting. I would recommend Guate and Nicaragua or El Salvador. Find the other thread on Guatemala here.

Screw Central America, head further south to Colombia and maybe Brazil. The tourist scene is minimal in both (outside of Cartagena and Rio) but the cultures are awesome and the women are unmatched.

Most people can't get as much out of Colombia because no one speaks english there, but if you're an obvious gringo (light hair/eyes) that speaks spanish well you'll have a great time. Get the hell out of the backpacker hostels and meet local girls to hang out with, you'll get a window into a different world.

In Brazil you can get by with Portunhol and again have a great time. Just don't spend too much time in Rio.

To get between the two, go down to Leticia, then take a cab to the Brazilian side and fly to Manaus, then on to wherever once you get tired of the jungle and obscenely easy women.

What people would I see backpacking in Guatemala? Also how much money do you think I'd need for 40 days in the region if I keep it to Guatemala, El Salvador and no scuba diving

I'v already done my big South America trip desu. Actually I stayed in Rio for a month and loved it. I wouldn't mind to return to South America but what would I gain if I'd head down there again just a year later?

Where did you go last time? The countries are quite dramatically different.

>>1228112
Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Para/Uruguay, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia

I'd love to return to Brazil but the weather for the South would be shit and the North and beaches alone are not fun. Sure you got stuff like Belo Horizonte, Brasilia, Ouro Preto and the Pantanal but they don't seal the deal for me. The three countries that don't really exist are way too expensive for me. Venezuela I'd love to go but it's dangerous in the cities and Roraima and Angel Falls would take up an enormous amount of time even though they are perfectly safe. I'd be interested in sailing down the Amazon from Iquitos to Belem but I don't know how realistic that would be. I speak Portuguese too btw. Ecuador has nothing that Peru and Colombia don't have and the Galapagos are again too expensive.

Central America has volcanoes, the jungle, nice islands, maya culture and ruins and just seems more interesting to me right now. Going back to South America would just be more of the same to me, don't you think?

Managua Nicaragua is the place to go nice people friendly but hot

lo recibo en bogota colombia, lo llevo a los lugares mas underground de bogota, cero gringos, gran aventura!!

Yep, I agree then SA would be more of the same again if you're not dying to go back to those places. Central america will be more of an adventure if you don't want to go to SEA/EE/Africa.

Iquitos to Belem is totally doable as long as you don't literally mean sailing. I went to a center for ayahuasca for a week in Iquitos, took a fast boat to Leticia, and some people were taking the slow boat on to Manaus/Belem from there. Personally I just flew to Manaus so can't give feedback on that part.

Well taking a slow boat, according to the Lonely Planet takes four weeks to get from Belem to Leticia including Mount Roraima. I'd be interested in stopping in small towns along the way, but I have no idea how expensive tours in that area are or what you can do. I just loved it when I went to Rurrenabaque in Bolivia
