Around the World: South America
Posted: Thu Dec 07, 2006 8:29 pm
In about a year and a half I will be embarking on a round the world trip including: Central and South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia.
Here's what I want to do in Outside South America:
Peru
-Macchu Picchu trek
-Trek Cordillera Blanca
-Cordillera Huayhash
-and/or
-Alpamayo Circuit
-1 or 2 peaks (50 degree snow and ice or less, mid-fifth class or bellow)
Chile/Argentina
-Torres Del Paine
-and/or
-Fitzroy
-Maybe a peak (or a spectacular high col or something)
Bolivia???
-Huayna Potosi (perhaps)
-Quimza region trek
Ecuador???
-A volcanoe?
Venezuela???
-Some jungle love?
Other stuff I'd like to do:
Buenos Aires: Go nuts, take some dance lessons
Santiago: Same deal
Rio: Same thing but not get kidnapped
See lot's of ruins, culture, art, architecture, music, and fiestas!
Become a fluent spanish speaker (semi-fluent now)
I'll also be going to Central America before this so info on that would be helpfull (I'll probably post there as well)
Help with:
-Resource (books, websites, etc)
-Logistics (what order I should go in, how to move gear around(
-Tips, tricks, and skills
-Arriero info
-general help
I've never been to South America, so it's safe to assume I don't know much.
