So, I have been living it up here in Medellin for the past month. A friend just got into town and we are going to head out on a trip to explore some of south America. We have until oct 29 about a month, I will be staying a week past that, so if I love it I may stay in Argentina that extra week.
The general idea is to hit up Quito to Lima to cusco(machu picchu) to Mendoza to igazu falls to buenos aires, ferry to montevideo then back to medellin.
Side note. Flights on LAN from medellin to cusco to Mendoza to BA is 3k usd.
Now get this, a flight plan from med to Quito, to Lima to cusco, to Mendoza to igazu to BA to Medellin is 1200. Go figure.
Everyone says hit cordoba, so we shall see. My main goals are to have fun, hit machu picchu, drink lots of wine and have a bunch of great steaks, other then that I am pretty open. The girls will happen so I am not worried about that, but some cool club/lounge spots would be nice. Money isn't that important but I am a big fan of getting a good bang for my buck. Value I like
Along the way I think I would like to do some white water rafting, horseback riding, maybe scuba if it happens. Maybe hit a few other side ruins, some wine tasting.
I read through a lot of the old posts, but many of them are out dated. Any thoughts guys? Also where to stay? I don't mind hostels as long as I can get my own room, or at minimum a room to share with my buddy, I'm not into the military dorm room style sleeping. I don't need or want 100 a night hotels either, just a Private clean bed and shower.
