South America
 

I'm toying with idea of going and hitting up a combination of argentina, brazil and/or chile near the end of july. How much should I be expecting to pay for airfare and any tips for finding cheaper airfare? Looked up on a few sites and found a few for around $1600ish so around $2000 w/ taxes that sound about right?

If you are into snowboarding/ski, definitely hit up Bariloche or Mendoza (Argentina) for some very fine powders as you will be there in their winter time.

My suggestion for a trip that goes from Arg-->Chile-->Brazil: Buenos Aires-->Calafate (for Perito Moreno Glacier)-->Bariloche (for sightseeing and snowboard while you are there. The landscape is breathtaking even if you are not skiing)-->Puerto Montt (for incredibly cheap sea food)--> Santiago-->back to Arg via "Tren a las Nubes"-->Iguazu Fall-->Brazil (not sure what's good in Brazil around winter time... you probably want to look it up before deciding whether to go to Brazil or not)

oh snap. forgot that the seasons are different. thanks for the reminder. i was hoping to do some surfing as well. hmm that changes some things.
