South America Trip

[davestravel]

Has anyone taken a boat from Iquitos Peru down the Amazon into Brazil - I know this is a very great distance depending on how far you go - I would probably go to Manaus and then fly out from there to Montevideo or Uruagay - has anyone taken a boat from Iquitos to Manaus - and if so how long can it expect to take - depending on the type of boat...

I am planning on taking a trip to South America this April and May.

I am thinking of visiting Bolivia and Argentina - any recommendations for "must sees"?

Regards,

I visited Buenos Aires lots of times, so here are my tips:

• Go to learn some tango in la Viruta
• Eat lots of meat, asados and choripanes
• It's nicer in spring
• Stay in a hostel called Pax Hostel, it's next to all the nice things in San Telmo, which is my favourite place in BA. It's also next to the subway.
• Go to Palermo (specially "los bosques de Palermo" and palermo soho).
• Take a trip to Tigre.
• Go to the MALBA museum (contemporary art).
• Visit Recoleta.
• Visit Puerto Madero.
• Enjoy the night life! It's awesome.

Those are the first things that i can remember

Ariel - cool, thanks for the tips. I'll check out that hostel next time I'm in Buenos Aires - I was in Argentina last month for the 2nd time - mostly around the Foz Iguazu area. We had a great time in BA and hit most of the items on your list.

Regards,

Dave

I had visited Manaus and it is my first time to come in there at first I dont know how and where to start my trip there. I found an agency that helped me gone through all my adventure there, I am really happy with their assistance, everything in their service was so perfectly worthy. I highly recommend my trip with Amazing tours Agency. It is your turn to find out what's the best in Manaus while choosing the right service.

Massive snow peaked mountains, pristine glaciers, tropical rainforrests; and just about any other type of environment you can think of: our Argentina tours include some of the most fun treks in existence.

Thanks for sharing these tips. I have visited southeast Brazil. It's a very beautiful country and I love Feijoada, a hearty stew with pork, black beans, and beef.
