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
im finnering to go to chile and bariloche but im worried there wont be enough english speaking white people there. I want to interact with english speaking euros, aussies, or americans but europe's too cold rn
>>2847332Most 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.
>>2847332My 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.>>2847334Geography makes Chile a country. The Andes separate it from Argentina. It's generally considered the best country in all of LatAm, but it's not particularly cheap, and yes it is Spanish speaking. A lot of South Americans take umbrage at anglos and their insistence on speaking English BTW.>>2847363It's easy to get laid in South America too - there's whores in every town basically - but they are very curvy large women as a general rule. Dweebs want skinny, demure animu girls with squinty eyes, not fat sassy sheboons with fake eyelashes and painted-on eyebrows.>>2847355You just gotta find out where the Eurofags go. They always gravitate to certain places to gentrify everything with their faggy little cafes and boutique restaurants.
>>2847332are there any cool places to stay during south american winter?
>>2847624>>2847363Social media destroyed Latinas although north of Lima you still get play as a white guy. Just lie through your teeth about gaining or having residency otherwise they get all bitchy about "sexpests" while they chase the local drug dealer and attend feminista rallies. They're literally 70 IQ here and think that your presence causes all of their inflation, you'll here that with every one of they bitchy ones, or the chopped bang trash, that you take out before she looks back at her phone to doom scroll some more.It's been amazing to watch the mindset shift over the last 5 years, and the covid money didnt help or even made it worse since they're 80 IQs being blaated by social media made them think the Foreign workers were a new norm. People as a whole are in the angry podt-denial phase of that money drying up and the where's are no exception. They'd rather just steal.Mexican women are still good to go, but South American women? Lol fuck no. And southern cone women are turbo leftist trash. Literally worse than French women when you factor in the poverty they cop an attitude about.Low key Brazilian tourism marketing threat BTW. Loved the touch about Guyana.
>>2847332Will they hate me as a gringo tourist now that Trump and his neocon jew friends are trying to pull an Iraq 2.0 in Venezuela?
>>2847657Yes. If you want to be liked you need to act all apologetic and deferential. It's the only way gringo
>>2847666No seriously will people get mad and try to fight me or will I just get some playful banter at worst?
>>2847644>although north of Limaas long as the cholas are into you, all's good
>>2847668I agree that Latinas are the trashiest and least loyal race of women. Particularly the light-skinned ones. They are all fat as well, because they eat too much. Only the 16 year olds or Native-dominant mestizos are slender and demure in their manners.Best to avoid political talk altogether, unless you meet a high IQ academic willing to converse about world issues. They will get butthurt if you say you're from America instead of from the United States. They get butthurt when you expect them to speak English in a Spanish country. They get butthurt if you criticize the trash, druggies, traffic, insecurity of their cities. If you go to Colombia you have to pretend arepas and buñuelos are amazing, when even stray dogs won't eat them. Beggars will verbally abuse you if you refuse to give them money, and you just have to walk away. If some guys are getting insolent, aggressive or pushy with you, it has nothing to do with politics. They want to rob you and are psyching themselves up for the demand, simple as.
>>2847777>arepasi remmber hurting some feelings by not saying i liked those bonedry white arepas. i wish i could redo that scenebuñuelos are da bomb tho
>>2847332I'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?
>>2848050Trannies 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.
>>2848576>Trannies are not that common in Colombia.Damn well in all the porn I see they usually are the hottest of literally everyone cis trans femboy doesnt matter they beat everyone and at the same time usually have the biggest dicks which is hot af... but I feel like most of those are Columbian only in origin...What are my chances with cis Columbian women then ? Theyre like second best...Are they greedy ? Are they gonna date me coz Im white even if Im poor ?
I have a trip in January for Paraguay + foz. It's not the first time I've been but the first time crossing the triple frontier
>>2847624>there's whores in every town basically - but they are very curvy large women as a general ruleArchitectbros...
>>2848737>even if Im poor ?dude, they dont even want to be your friend if you are poor
>>2848789Some people will still befriend you if you are poorfag staying in a hostel. One American who just arrived in Bogota with a couple buddies met some locals and before you know it, he was fixing to go exploring around the country on the back of a girl's motorbike, kek. She evidently fancied him (and his willingness to pay for everything too, I bet).If you dress like a slob in Colombia and don't shower at least twice a day, most people will quite literally turn their nose up at you to avoid catching a whiff of your B.O. The stinky gringo is a meme there.>>2848742Paraguay seems like an extremely boring country, with most of its area being flat empty scrub jungle, but it's also cheap and reasonably safe. Best time to visit is Southern Hemisphere winter, not summer when it is hot as balls. Overall I'm glad I chose India instead of South America for this travel season, despite South America being mostly visa-free, more developed and less overcrowded. SA is the most geographically isolated continent; even flights to North America can be surprisingly expensive, and flights to other continents, forget about it. Getting around the continent by bus is also surprisingly pricey, much more expensive than overland travel in Asia. If you do decide to go to SA, it's expensive to change your mind halfway through your eight-month trip and go somewhere else. Whereas India has cheap flight connections all over the Old World when you're ready to move on, and I only paid $400 for my flight from a small US East Coast airport.Also, tourist lodging in SA has soared in price recently. You could probably stay in Eastern Europe for cheaper than you can stay in Argentina these days.
>>2848854>Overall I'm glad I chose India instead of South America for this travel seasonI guess you hate hot chicks.
>>2848854Colombians smell so good tho
>>2848575I hope you don't mean cool as in temperature, because you're going to a notoriously hot country in the peak of summer. For cool as in fun and interesting, Floripa is the default choice. This place blows up in summer and gets very crowded and expensive, though, so be mindful of that. However, the other capitals in the area have nothing to offer and are hard to have fun in if you don't speak Portuguese. Basically you'll have a good time in Floripa if you don't mind a little traffic and expensive short term rental prices
>>2848854>Some people will still befriend you if you are poorfag staying in a hostel. One American who just arrived in Bogota with a couple buddies met some locals and before you know it, he was fixing to go exploring around the country on the back of a girl's motorbikeSounds pretty cool and fun desu>(and his willingness to pay for everything too, I bet).Nah fuck off with this shit I aint paying for shit Im poor and behave like a jew lmao
>>2847626In Chile if you go all the way to the south like punta arenas it may be too cold for the general taste.I believe Los lagos and Los Rios hit the sweetspot. It's my understanding that the patagonia from Argentina's side is colder and drier.Are you looking for natural beauty or local architecture and towns?>>2848050kekTwinks are on high demand between the chilean girls I know.trannies too, the sexual revolution hit strong around here
>>2849173>Twinks are on high demand between the chilean girls I know.Im not cute enough to call myself a twink tho... just twinkish...Do I have to know spanish to be able to talk to latinas and general population tho ?Like how useful is english in south america ? (Especially Colombia)
>>2848737Get help you mentally ill freak.
>>2849561Bump
>>2847332Brazil is great if you wanna get robbed at gun point
>>2849561>Do I have to know spanishyes. it's not that hard. some people do want to practice their english with you tho.
I don't know why I even bother using this site any more
>>2852132Damn it...>it's not that hardBut learning another language is scary... english was hard enough...Ig Ill have to do it for latinas...Am I gonna be prayed on coz Imma gringo ?How likely is that Ill be killed coz I accidentally slept with someones girl or some shit ?
>>2852652>How likely is that Ill be killed coz I accidentally slept with someones girl or some shit ?nah, they kno the girlz all hoes down there
>>2847644>avoid southern cone women that are turbo leftist trashbecause they're too smart for you?
>>2852326Every traveler gets tired of the low-effort retard bants filling up every low-effort slide thread and quits posting here. That further entrenches the dimwit monopoly on this board.
Well the boys are already in position. I guess we were on the money this time, the currency exchange points are set up, the flights are lined up, holiday in Venezuela
>>2852817What's the solution? Seems all the internet is heading the same way. I'm starting to wonder whether dead internet theory is actually real.
>>2852674I hope thats the case... Id rly like to avoid being burned or skinned alive by a cartel or some shit... Just want a latina...
>>2852864The solution is for you to go back to where you came from.
South America sounds not as good as Asia in general. I like small cute bodies and feminity. I'm gonna stay in my lane
>>2852864>What's the solution?Making sites unusable on phones is a good start to filter out people that have no business being on the internet
>>2847332Yeah, 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.>>2848991Yeah, that's a pretty famous tourist area. It won't be peak summer as >>2848991 says, that's more November in Spring, before the rain comes in. Spring is the worst time to come since it's very hot, dry and not winds.Look at some of the "Cerrados" it's like our national parks, very nice for nature stuff, lots of waterfalls, but be prepared to walk a lot. Tends to have nice reasonably priced places to stay at with breakfast, lunch and dinner included.
>>2854550Do the nasty bugs only exist deep in the jungle, or in the towns, too? Would you find creepy shit in the hotel?
>>2854553Depends really, if the place has netted windows then it's most likely fine. Else, just check under things for the brown spider. Everything else is just a random bug. And by bugs I mostly mean mosquitos with dengue. A pest here, especially now in the hotter season. HIGHLY recommend locally buying skin sprays that use aloa vera (babosa is the name here), they work magically.Learn how to rehydrate during the day, else you'll cramp a lot. But seriously, just avoid the Amazon if you're not into hiking in the heat. Cerrados are much better.
>>2847644retard
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 ageLike 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
>>2854593You already posted this in the other thread.What are your interests? Limiting yourself to either Buenos Aires or Sao Paulo sounds unnecessary
>>2854601>You already posted this in the other thread.yeah ik I'm posting here so I can get more inputMostly into underground music/art stuff, wanna meet people in their 20s who are into that sort of thing
>>2854604Then you are better off going to BA as much as I don't like admitting.Brazil doesn't have much of an underground art/music scene but you'll find plenty of artfags in BA
>>2854604>Brazil doesn't have much of an underground art/music scene but you'll find plenty of artfags in BAOh shit does it not? Thought Sao Paulo was pretty big for that sort of thing
>>2854607Also howcomes you're not into BA?
>>2854613Because I've been there and I hated it.The people are rude, everything is expensive and obnoxiously bourgeois
>>2854618Fair enough, anywhere else you'd recommend instead?
