Whats the best way to travel around in South America?

What's the cheapest way to get from South America to Florida?

  • I'm planning to travel in south america this year, and I was planning to do the whole country and then head back towards the states. so i was wondering whats the cheapest way to get to Florida (basically....) and i don't mind the time nor going through central america.... Any ideas anyone?

  • Answer:

    First of all, South America is a continent, not a country. There are 13 countries on the continent with Brazil covering well over half of the continent. There are two dominant languages, Spanish and Portuguese, which is spoken in Brazil. In many parts of the continent, English will not be spoken very much, if at all. Getting to and from South America probably will not be your biggest concern for this trip, so don't go cheap on getting there. The flight from Miami to Barranquilla, Colombia (home of Shakira) will be less than $500 round trip sometime during the year.

SUUURE, just hop on a banana boat man. That's the cheapest way there for sure.

I do not know;

Spirit airlines often has really cheap for no reason flights from Ft. Lauderdale to Bogota, and Lima Peru. Last year I flew with them from Peru to Ft. Lauderdale RT for $250 including everything. I managed to catch one of their better sales. Also try LAN.com, they have decent sales for the off season too. You kinda fail on the "whole country" thing. Make sure you know where you are going since (assuming you are from the US) you will have to pay independent fees to enter Bolivia, Chile, Brazil (I think you actually need a visa beforehand), and maybe one other I am forgetting. Good luck

Of course backpacking and hitchhiking would be the cheapest. Using the extensive bus systems would probably be next although either way you would have to fly or hitch a ride on a cargo ship around the Darien Gap between Colombia and Panama.

Probably fly from Bogota or Caracas would be best!
