I don't see a lot of threads about south America, Africa on /trv/.
Brazil dominates the continent, is it geographically isolated or can you go through Brazil in transit back and forth? Does anyone transit Guyana through the Brazil land border? How far can you actually get up the Amazon and is that a viable route?
When it's the tourist season, which places to normie Americans ruin?
How's the place doing currency wise, is Venezuela back on the itinerary?

How is Chile even a country? Do you fly to Argentina then drive up through the whole of chile? Fly in, fly out?
Is patagonia a meme or is it worth visiting, given how many national parks chile has that are far more accessible

Most of this board only ever wants to talk about SEA, because it's cheap, safe, and they can get easy girls.
Meanwhile, LATAM is sometimes cheap, but not entirely safe, and the girls are all giga Stacys who only go for Chad.

My guess is that most people visiting South America are too busy being extroverted and having a life with people they meet to spend any time hunched over their laptop spergposting on /trv/ about their travels.

I'm planning a trip to Brazil in January-February. I'm looking for a cool small-to-medium-sized city in the south of Brazil. Is Florianopolis a good place?

Trannies are not that common in Colombia. Colombia's culture is both libertine (prostitution and weed are decriminalized) and conservative. Uber drivers in Medellín are some of the consistently right-wing people I've ever met.

South America sounds not as good as Asia in general. I like small cute bodies and feminity. I'm gonna stay in my lane

Yeah, you just gotta go through the border roads. You'll only have problems if you're carrying non-personal stuff back into Brazil and to Guyana (you might get taxed).
I personally don't recommend the Amazon touring, it's not an easy place naturally. The heat, high humidity and lots of bugs will test your body quickly. Dehydration and cramping is common.
If you wanna chill just look at some "Cerrado" instead of big cities, you'll save tons, explore lots. They're good year around except some heavy raid seasons when water rises a lot and can be dangerous.

Will I regret choosing Buenos Aires/maybe Sao Paulo over Asian cities?
I was originally aiming to do Asia as their cities looked really cool, but as I researched it more I figured I'd be really lonely out there because apart from Japan there isn't much happening for my interests, even in Japan the crowds skew older for some reason so it's harder to meet people my age
Like the main/potentially only reason I'm interested in Buenos Aires is because it's a big city with lots of young people who share the same interests as me

I just got back from my trip of Paraguay and the triple frontier. I've been to Paraguay multiple times and only haven't seen the Chaco but have seen everything else. It was a nice trip and not particularly hot (30 Celsius/100 Fahrenheit).Basically 16 days if you count travel to see the main tourist stuff in the triple frontier region (maybe 25 days if you wish to see the chaco):> Asuncion - 5 days tops
- see Aregua, Yaguaron (including the museums, old church, and house of the supreme dictator) and Caacupe (1-2 days)
- see downtown Asuncion including the Pantheon, Museum of the Disappeared and Museum of Guarani culture and Presidential Palace
- 1 night of barbecue (asaditos) and Conmebol Museum>Ciudad del Este - 2 days tops
- Saltos de Monday and Itaipu Binacional including museums and night show (1-2 days)>Foz do Iguazu - 3 days tops
- you do not need a visa to enter Brazil if you intend to leave through Paraguay
- See Iguazu falls from the Brazilian and Argentinian side (1 day)
- See Itaipu from the Brazilian side, Parque das Aves, and Marco das Tres Fronteiras (1 day)
- See anything else (Mosque, Buddhist Temple, Aquarium, Wanda Mines) (1 day)>Encarnacion - 3 days tops
- See Trinidad, San Cosme, and Tavarangue (1 day)
- See San Ignacio in Argentina and anything else in Posadas (1 day)
- Carnaval if you can (I didn't get to see it and left the day of) (1 day)The most important thing I can tell you about Paraguay is bring cash and a lot of it. You will be price gouged otherwise

What is the big deal about Uruguay? I’ve been hearing for 25 years that it is the best place to go if you’re an American want to leave the US. Is that true?

Suggestions for places to visit in Brasil? I've been to Fortaleza, Belo Horizonte, Florianópolis and Recife thus far. I have no interest in Rio - seems like a dangerous tourist trap. Just looking for a place with beautiful sights and something of noteriety (like buildings or landmarks of cultural signficance), I guess.

Is it possible to just venture through the maya national park arwa of north guatemala?
I'm not asking about whether its physically easy or anything, I'm asking about the permits I'm reading about everywhere. It seems to be you're legally supposed to travel with a registered guide who organises your permits. Is this a thing in practice, where they'll have barriers checkpoints at every road and as a guy strolling along on his own I'll stick out like a saw thumb and not be allowed to continue?
Does anyone have any experience?
