A backpackers guide to South America, updated for 2017 & 2018 from Funky Guides, an offshoot of myfunkytravel.com. Written by budget travellers for budget travellers. It aims to give first-time backpackers in the continent a basic overview of what to expect from travelling around South America. It focuses on the things you need to know in a concise manner rather than going into great detail on every single possible destination. The guide is very easy to follow and to read from cover to cover, it should take only around 3-4 hours. We hope it will assist you in the planning phase ahead of your trip and also be a handy resource when you're out on the road. The guide includes backpacking routes for Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil with suggested budget hostels for every destination. There's info on vaccinations, yellow fever, visa and entry requirements, money and suggested daily backpacker budgets for each country and for the entire region. You can also draw inspiration from South America's cultural highlights and best festivals (where & when 2017 & 2018) and we list the best party destinations, where to learn traditional South American dances and the best cities for football. In the final chapter we answer some FAQ's from first-time travellers in the continent.
