English girl wanting to know if it is ok to get around without knowing alot of spanish?
I am spending 8 weeks in south america, we have booked a two week tour to do the Amazon and Inca Trail. I was wondering how easy it is to travel around Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Boliva and Peru?
Reply to this I haven't been back for 8 years, but it is fairly easy, at least around Argentina you have regular coach services linking the major cities even places like Salta and Iguazu.
When are you doing this trip? I'm heading back in November.
Reply to this Thanks very much, hopefully it will be ok then. I am arriving in Rio at the end of June so i wont be there in November.
Reply to this Hi Lydia
Its really wasy to get around South America by bus I would just recommend you bring a small translation book to help you along though....
You may find this thread of use as I have given a bit more detail about my general experiences in it:
