I have inserted a map of Latin America and drawn on it my itinary! It is very globally the itinary I am going to follow, the so called "big loop"!

I will first start in Argentinia and land in Buenos Aires. I shoud stay there ca 3 weeks and follow spanish classes. Could help! ;-) 

Then I' ll go to Patagonia and travel south to Bariloche.

After what I' llcome back to Buenos Aires and head to Iguazu Falls. I'll  cross into Brazil and hit Campo Grande for a wildlife tour of the Pantanal.  Then I'll cut west to Corumba and cross into Bolivia into Peru via Lake Titicaca.

Then I will cross into Ecuador and follow the Andean Mountain. I will continue into Colombia to see the Zona Cafetera. Then I will go to to Cartagena to chill out on the Caribbean. I'll see Parque Nacional Tayrona and Ciuad Perdida before bussing from Santa Marta, Colombia to Maracaibo, Venezuela.

Then I' ll head to Mérida and hang out awhile before heading to Salto Angel and Roraima. I'll cross into Brazil at Santa Elena de Uairén.  I will travel to Manaus and boat down the Amazon River to Belem. Then I'll hit Parque Nacional dos Lençois Maranhenses, Jericoacoara, Olinda, and Salvador.

And I'll finish in Rio de Janeiro...

I had a great flight to Buenos Aires and enjoyed since a few day the life here. The city center look pretty European (some says BA is a mix between Paris, Madrid and London – the city center at least). Among all the locals I've met, many have a European background, especially Italy or Germany.

My hostel is in Florida street, the big commercial street, heart of the city.

I have seen the impressive Avenue del 9 Julio (with 10 lanes on each sides), el puerto Madero, la Boca (a poor city district but famous because of his stadium and soccer team), San Telmo (some nice bars, squares...), the cemetery in Recoleta district etc...and of course I have already intended to some really enjoyable Tango shows.

Night life is especially great, and for this reason many tourists and especially Brazilians come here for vacation. And I am fascinated how friendly most of them are!
