Ok, I'm going to try to keep this as short as possible. I've started using this forum for guidelines in South America as I can't stand the travel websites that usually pop up on a quick Google search. It has been a great resource for me so far, and I'm hoping that you guys can help me out. Background: I am 24, just graduated college and am looking to relocate.
I just spent a month in Colombia and absolutely loved it. I am currently in Quito (the girls really are not very pretty here) and have a Workaway planned for next week in Montanita. My plans were to continue moving south to eventually find my way into Argentina. But I am now thinking that maybe it would make a lot more sense for me to use what money I have left for travel to establish myself in Colombia. Quickly checking airfare prices my plane ticket from Argentina back to Colombia would be pretty expensive. Right now I am in a position that I could re-enter Colombia with just a shitty day or two on a bus.
My real question here is: Is Colombia the goldmine of South America? Am I missing out on any truly amazing places by opting to move to Colombia now? What have your experiences been in places like Chile and Argentina?
