BACKPACKING AND LANGUAGE SCHOOL IN SOUTH AMERICA
Whether you are traveling as a backpacker or glampacker, it is nice to have a calm start to the journey by plane but a week of language school in Buenos Aires before continuing on an adventure around South America that ends in Lima.
Your adventure in South America begins in the city of Buenos Aires in Argentina. Here you first get instruction in Spanish for a week, incredibly useful and invaluable when you are backpacking around South America. The teaching is done in groups and with basic Spanish skills you can then continue your journey in South America. Then take some time during your trip through Argentina, Chile, Bolivia and Peru.
Best travel period
Trips to Argentina, Chile, Bolivia and Peru can be made all year round. The area has summer when we have winter in Sweden. Chile and Argentina are best from November to April and Bolivia and Peru from May to November. But you can also travel in these countries outside this period, as it is rainy season in Bolivia and Peru and winter in southern Argentina and Chile.
