3 months in South America!

Jump to last reply

hey, i'm due to embark on my south american journey mid January next year for 3 months before i fly to south east asia and i guess i'm after some advice on countries to visit and the climate in each place. i will start my journey in jan and have so far planned the following (also based on my own weather research as i understand january isn't the best time):

buenos aires
iguazu falls
rio (hopefully for carnival feb 8th)
maybe back to cordoba
salt lakes in bolivia
la paz
cusco (machu picchu)
and finally lima

somewhere in between i'd like to spend a few days in the amazon.

i think the other direction (starting in lima and ending in buenos aires) is worse weather wise hence my selection above but your thoughts/views will be appreciated! i know 3 months isn't that long so i'm willing to take internal flights if necessary. if i have enough time i'd love to visit iquitos but i don't think i'll have time. apart from machu picchu, i plan to arrive in buenos aires and travel freely without booking things all the way to peru. i'd really appreciate any help / views. thanks in advance, jason
