This year I have lucked out and managed to assemble 5 weeks of consecutive vacation to explore South America. I’m going to fly in and out of Santiago de Chile and loop up through Bolivia, seeing the salt flats, Lake Titicaca, La Paz, & the world’s most dangerous road… then down into Santa Cruz, by train to Brazil, exploring the Pantanal and heading over land to Iguazu Falls, then down into Buenos Aires, over to Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay for a day, then into Wine Country, to Valparaiso for New Year’s then back to Santiago for a few days…
