Hey guys!!!

Im backpacking round South and Central Amercia in June (if anyone is going and wants a travel buddy please drop me a line!!!) and cant decide if its best to book a tour here, to do the Inca Travel and Amazon etc (through Tucan Travel) or just wait till I am out there??? I am travelling on my own so want to meet lots of people and dont want to end up stuck and getting public transport on my own!

if anyone has been there and has any advise, it would be much appreciated!!!

thanks soooooooooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi
Dont do Columbia on your own, but Peru, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Easter Island etc you should be fine.

you may have left it too late if you were going to walk the inca trail. you have to book months in advance now as they only issue 500 permits per day. I would suggest go on the tour if you can afford it and want a hassle-free tip. I backpacked it with my bf last may and it was cool. do you speak any spanish? if none, i would suggest doing a week at a language school at the beginning of your trip if you go on your own. it will make the rest so much easier.
