south america

Hey there! My father got offered a job at the international school on Grand Cayman this summer and I plan on coming along. We're planning to buy a ship of our own and sail down there since the cost of parking in the marinas is way cheaper then rent. We are more vagabondy though (especially me)...

Greetings from Egypt! After 6 months traveling most of South America I've got some stories to tell. So many, in fact, that I'm a bit intimidated by all the bits and pieces of posts I've written crying to be finished. My Southeast Asia post is about two years late by now. How do you eat an...

Hey guys! I'm starting to plan a trip to South/Central America this winter, and I'd like you guys' input and experiences. I've been considering trying to spend as many nights as possible sleeping outside, on beaches and bushed areas, like I usually do when I travel, but I also know by...

Title really says it all

Hey y'all, I'm gonna be attempting to travel from Sao Paulo to Ubatuba walking. Expecting more or less 8 days to get there on foot, does anyone have any experience doing a trip on foot in over here? I know some minimal Portuguese with semifluent Spanish to help me out, but my main concerns are...

Wondering if anyone has any ideas.. floating around Dom rep for a while

Anyone been to, or know anything about these islands? I was offered a trade for a private 5 acre island along with a registered US inport export corporation in trade for my farm in WA. The news paints the situation in Nicaragua as bleak, but I was curious what those that have been there recently...

For this installment of Latitude Adjustment Podcast I speak with David Vrabo, in Tijuana, and I think you'll find our conversation helpful in contextualizing some of the sensationalized news headlines floating around out there. From David's 4,000 km bike trip, to the caravan that's been moving...

Good day I am an American looking to get from Colombia to Mexico. I have route set from Colombia to Costa Rica, however I lack sufficient information to cross from Costa Rica to Nicaragua. How difficult would it be to cross over to Nicaragua from Costa Rica (No passport). Is it as simple as...

Howdy Weirdos! Some dear friends and I just bought 1-way tickets to the Dominican Republic. Any recommendations for specific spots to check out? Where's the epic waterfalls and unparalleled hiking spots?

I'm not sure if this is the right place, please let me know if there is a better place to ask this. Anyway, how strict is it crossing the Mexican border? Do they check people walking over for warrants and stuff like that? I've always been curious how people facing murder charges and shit like...

I'm about to be down mainly beboping between Lima and Santiago for a while starting in November. Going to head down to Torres del Paine and see as much of Magallanes/Antartic region as I can, other than that probably trying to hit Machu Piccu when I get back into Peru. If you're around these...

Wondering if anyone knows anything about being homeless in the Virgin Islands? Is it doable or do the wealthy inhabitants of the island just incarcerate Vagabonds on site or smell.

Right, so my job lets me work online. It's very expensive to live in the US, and I think there is increasing possibility (perhaps not likely but trending towards plausible) that the US is will undergo severe decline if not collapse relatively soon. Belize. It's not too expensive to live, and...

Howdy everybody. I have felt visceral disgust at the white shit that surrounds me and everything up here in the woods of Upstate New York - the locals call it "snow". Even just going out for a smoke becomes a military operation. My desert boots have soaked to the core, and I start to think: I am...

Earlier I posted a thread of this video but some people were being very offensive I changed the title to "deleted" but seeing the strong reactions from the comments I decided to re-publish the video. I think people should watch it.

deleted because people are getting political

Hey squatters! I am traveling through south America and I was thinking whether there are any squats along the way.

Hey, friends. @nomadman and I are going to be heading to Quito, Ecuador sometime soon. I thought I'd post here to see if anyone had been there and had suggestions on things to do and see. I'm always interested in the local music and art scene but really any information you could share would be...

Hey guys, I'm thinking about hitchhiking/ ride sharing ect from the US through Mexico to South America. Bringing my dog along, he's a 5 year old lab mix, been by my side since 4weeks old. I'm currious what anyone knows about crossing the borders in Central America with dogs as well as crossing...

How cool would it be to seek out the FARC or some other group in the Colombian jungle and ask to hang out with them for a little bit? They have been living in the jungle for over 40 years. Colombia has more free roaming terrorist groups than any other country I know of. Always moving, dodging...

Here I am back after a while. I just saw this video posted on my friends wall on facebook. I thought that it may be interesting for you. It's about a group of friends traveling across CR for 3 weeks. I hope you enjoy it.

@dmac66 and @Tude were interested on watching some pictures of my country. So I tought it may be interesting for other to take a look too. Some of them are really old, i'll try to upload newer ones. Most of them are from the beach or the north zone

For awhile now I've been trying to research the best places outside of the US to travel with a dog. Reason being is I'm trying desperately to leave NA, but can't leave my little buddy alone. We've traveled across all of the US and Canada together and leaving without him isn't a question...

If you can speak Spanish already, you'll have a much easier time in Brazil 'cause they'll more or less understand you. Still, here are some phrases and words I've found useful... Arranjar -- (verb): to hook up with, without the recipiant paying anything. Ex. E aí meu irmão, da pra me arranjar...

I am heading to Panama City early November, planning to tramp around for a few months. Just wondering if anyone is down there, or if there is any advice someone may have, as it will be my first time!

Anyone going to be in either one? I'll be there in Oct from the 11th to the 17th. Be cool to meet up with some peeps

Morning y'all. I'm a budding traveler from England (Don't hold that against me). Previously traveled for a month around NZ when I was 18. Am thinking about traveling to South America (Peru, Argentina, Chile). With my previous experience do you think it is OK to travel on my own? And what kinda...

I'm thinking about heading south to Key West come June and from there hopping onto, hiring, stealing, buying, some form of boat to the Caribbean. I don't know much about the place (all of my travel has been in the states), other than its warm, there are beaches, and one can perhaps drink and...

Taking a freak from freeform travel with 3 dear friends of mine who are more into the busing and CouchSurf thing. We're going to Bolivia, so it should be a lot of fun at any rate. All of them are into the idea of hitching and freight-hopping, but have never gotten around to trying either. And...

Good cheap spots by the beach is what Im after but any info on the two countries would be apreciated! Snorkling, surfing or any awesome spots where i could put my tent up is what im craving after months in the andes.

Possibly planning to hitch around South America. Curious to see how many people express interest in this grand adventure.

Hello All, I am going back to Ecuador in about a week and seeing if anyone is, or will be down there. Its always nice to have a travel buddy. I plan on arriving in Quito and then heading to the coast for a week or two. After that, I am travelling to Tena and into the Jungle. So if you are...

Most people come to Brazil for the beaches. Although I'd be lying if I said I didn't take at least some pleasure in spending nights getting drunk ocean side surrounded by tits and ass, It wasn't why I wanted to come to Brazil. The funny thing was once arriving in Rio I quickly realized that...

So if all goes well with work contracts this summer/fall I will be heading down to Brazil for a little Urbex and also hopefully try my hand at a few freights down there. Just wondering if anyone one here has had any experience in the country. I've been through most of Latin America and I'm...
