Backpacking South America in May 2020?
Post Flair (click to view more posts with a particular flair)
Post Body

I am planning a trip end of April 2020 until Late May/Early June 2020 around my 21st birthday. I have visited 23 countries already (most in Europe and two in Asia) so I would say I am well traveled and understand what to pack and such. I know South America is somewhat developed but not as developed as Europe or Japan. I wanted to ask a few questions before I go.

my route (most likely)

  • Buenos Aires, Argentina
  • Mendoza, Argentina (flight)
  • Santiago, Chile Valparaíso, Chile (flight)
  • Calama, Chile (flight)
  • Uyuni, Bolivia (bus)
  • La Paz (bus)
  • Cusco, Peru (bus)
  • Quito, Equador (flight)
  • Bogota (bus)

basically 6 countries in 5 weeks, what I want to ask is

  1. From the high altitudes of La Paz, Quito and Cusco would I need any canned oxygen?
  2. Will I get by with minimal Spanish?
  3. How safe is Bolivia?
  4. Are the busses safe? (because of the mountain altitudes)

what else should I know?
