Hi,

I'm thinking of taking my first trip to South America, for 2 weeks. I have a grasp of some Spanish I know no Portuguese. It seems to me like Brazil is the better country. More friendly, better weather. I'm also going there with someone who isn't exactly a good wingman, so that's another factor, too.

Is one country better than the other for me, then? This is a tough choice. It seems to me that Brazil is better for a first time tourist. Let me know your thoughts.

It depends on what you're looking for! What do you want to find in South America? That should help me answer your question.

Great choice. Seems like you thought it through a lot. Colombia is the worst choice. You should check out Bolivia as well. Heard the girls are bangin.

Venezuela.

Just kidding. Read the "Venezuela is collapsing" thread. You could come back highly repped or dead.

Come on, trolling isn't productive.

Hah maybe Venezuela was a good choice 10-20 years ago. Or will be 20 years from now. Let's not write it off for good.

You'd certainly find some crazy deals there. Maybe not the kind we imagine...

Chile is the most advanced country (GDP per capita of over U$20k, almost 1st world in other key measures) so if you are looking for a south american experience without losing that feeling of being in a civilized place, you'd go there.

If you don't care much, i'd go to Brazil and definitely Argentina. In Brazil you have to choose what region, though. The south is 90% immigrants of germany and italy, Rio and São Paulo are places where the stereotypical brazilian people come from, especially Rio, and from the middle of the country up people become really dark-skinned and it's a shit hole.

It really depends on what you want to do. If you want to climb some high mountains for relatively cheap then Ecuador is a good choice.

Are you chasing flags? If so are you looking for the most attractive women or the easiest or some balance of the two?

Ecuador is the only SA country I've been to so if you're looking for flags then I don't have much advice for you except that having zero knowledge of game I found chicks in Quito who were DTF without much effort on OKCupid.
