Your pic related answers your question. I've lived in Mexico City for 8 months, worst thing that happened was a milf made me cum inside her by wrapping her legs around me.
>worst thing that happened was a milf made me cum inside her by wrapping her legs around me.
How common is that in Peru, Venezuela and Colombia? Mexican women like White boys.
Been thinking about going to Mexico City. Are the bad parts immediately recognizable to a foreigner? Is there enough to do for a few months/nightlife? It seems like the best trip for cheap but not completely boring. 150 one way ticket. Was considering going to Peru from there.
In terms of overall cost of living it's cheaper than the US but there are way cheaper places in the country of course. You need to provide way more information if you want specific recommendations.
I dont really know. I have about 12 grand of money that I dont need to pay for school, so I wanted to go somewhere for a few months, but I'm not sure how much I really want to spend. The real issue is flight costs, so I figure I could go to 4 or 5 places in Latin America for the same price that it'd cost to fly to SEA/India/Middle East/Africa
ill look into the neighborhoods. I was looking airbnbs in Roma, though its hard to determine what the area is going to be like. I like the grit of the smaller cities but I want to make sure there's enough to do at all hours

it's mexico city, if you run out of things to do in 5 years let me know
Don't cheap out in Mexico. Live in Condesa, Polanco or Roma if you're going to chill in Mexico City. It's still much cheaper than living in America considering these are the, "most exclusive" areas in Mexico City. My Airbnb in Condesa was only $1,450 per month, but I could've paid only $600 per month if I legit rented. If you want cheaper, try Puebla or Merida. Different cities, but good quality of life.
No. I don’t know why this question comes up. Latino culture is this weird infantile, goofy culture with music that sounds comical, food that is actually pretty fucking bland and unremarkable, and of course a blood-lust, aztec, and extremely vicious and primitive disregard for the value of human life.
I don’t understand why any white person would go there. The upsides are gravely outweighed by the downsides. Just go to fucking SEA and give it a rest. Just go to pattaya and pull up at the patio seating of the bar
Face culture constrains Asians from bothering you or harassing you because of the potential face loss. Theyre also insular and apprehensive of foreigners so your interactions are mostly polite and to the point. You never have to worry about danger unless you BUMBLE around where you’re not supposed to be. Even then. If you have clean, smart appearance people will leave you alone.
Their attitude towards sex is extremely nonchalant and they emphasize a smooth social atmosphere with the presentation of peace happiness and lots of smiles. Food is awesome and never gets old.
Meanwhile, in SA anecdotes and conversations always mention shootings, stabbings, dead bodies in alleys, and a confrontation, infantile, gay machismo culture. Its gross and primitive, heard the food is carb heavy dogshit. A guy I met in Thailand had to fend off a knife attack and he barely got away. He literally managed to grab the wrist of the attacker and prevent him from stabbing him until there was enough attention that the attacker fled. This was in Columbia.
I don’t want to duck and dodge highly extroverted little violent bean men or worry about getting robbed or shit for my phone etc. that doesnt happen in Thailand.
Ladyboys might pickpocket or drug you and take your shit but that’s if you’re retarded enough to let them get close to you or drink with them.
Latinas have this weird juvenile culture with stupid carnival music and childish indifference to shitting out kids that they can’t afford. I just don’t like it. >la familia
Woa cool culture you have their gays

>>You never have to worry about danger unless you BUMBLE around where you’re not supposed to be. >see also: almost everywhere in the world, South America included
You ignored everything else he wrote. South America isn't the most dangerous place in the world, but it sure as fuck isn't among the safest. The most dangerous countries in Asia (even Southeast Asia) are still safer than the safest in South America. These are countries you can go for a walk at night without everyone around you thinking you're suicidal or crazy.
All of that is just icing on the cake because Latin culture and Latina women are problems themselves.
Fuck off you incel gay. SEA is a shithole full of people who literally sell their children to sex tourists. The people are absolute shit, with the exception of a few countries, and it's literally not fun at all unless you're some neckbread cunt who can't get laid anywhere else in the world. The people are only nice if they think you'll eventually pay them and literally all they care about is money. They'd do anything for it to the point where it's impossible not to be disgusted if you have any morals at all. Then, anyone who is actually good there gets forced into it by the shitty ones. Awful places. Also, tourists get murdered there too, they just have "heart attacks" or "fall off of their hotel balconies" so that tourists keep coming. It was the only place I've ever been pickpocketed and I turned around and grabbed the guy, who dropped my wallet and ran. Fuck SEA.
Mexico and central America are full of poor people who like to enjoy their lives and don't care about money as much. They're friendly, they know how to have fun, and if you're not going to stupid places, mixing yourself up in shady shit like drugs, or dressing in Armani suits like you're fucking James bond, you are pretty safe
The food in central america is so much better than fucking rice and noodles dude. I almost feel like you're trolling.
>Infantile Machismo culture
Ok so you're just a wimpy gay who can't get laid anywhere but Asia, where you still have to pay for it. Exactly what I thought.
By the way, Mexican girls are way hotter than Asians with their weird eyes and boy bodies. You just wouldn't know because, again, you are a guy who can only fuck cheap Thai hookers

Both you morons make me want to go to neither now lol
It depends on your experience, man. If it's your first time out of the country, you should go to Europe or Canada or wherever, where the lessons you learn are a lot less likely to involve you dying, the police will help you, etc.
If you're pretty experienced and you know generally what types of things to avoid, when to be adventurous and when to play it safe, etc.
If you have learned those lessons, then you should be fine almost anywhere you go. Of course anything can happen, but it can happen at home too, so at least you got to eat some new food and fuck some exotic bitches before you got your face carved off in an automotive shop by a Columbian sicario. Basically, if you've been through Europe thoroughly you should have your wits sharpened enough to move on to third world shitholes. I recommend eastern Europe as a bridge to build experience before you tackle the more "risky" places. Africa is obviously the final frontier. Basically, if you consider yourself ready to go to those places then I would choose your destination almost solely based on what places you want to see and experiences you want to have. But yeah somewhere like Venezuela is probably a no go. You should already know how to do your own research about a country's safety prior to going. If you don't know how to do that, stick to Europe. The state department website has a page on every country in the world where they'll warn you of dangers and recent incidents, political unrest, etc. Some are overblown but again you should know how to vet them.

Africa is not the final frontier at all. English is pretty widely spoken, its actually fairly easy to get around and its generally not dangerous unless you're on the roads. You can obviously get yourself into some trouble if you go wandering Johannesburg at night, but if your standards of behavior are that suicidal then basically everything you do is fraught with some hazard.
Central America and Hispaniola would be the two "final frontiers" IMO that aren't going to active war zones or places in states of complete disarray and collapse like Libya or Venezuela. Also states that were run by bizarre and eccentric kleptocratic despots can be baffling and get you into trouble, mostly found in SEA, South America and Eastern Europe but oddly enough not Africa. What infrastructure Africa does have makes sense, its actually pretty intuitive.

>eastern europe as a bridge
Eastern europe is literally the safest part of europe, especially balkans. The big cities are orders of magnitude safer than their western or US counterparts. I felt much safer in all of eastern europe, balkans, turkey and middle east (non isis parts) than in any big western city. I agree that on a grand scheme of things western world is easy mode, your life is safe but your property not as much. Africa and south and central america are scary for anyone. Keep in mind I cycle and camp between cities, and walk and sleep in hostels when in cities, so if you're a credit card, big city, airplane, taxi and hotel type your experience and perspective will be different.

oh yeah eastern europe is very safe, but the sketchy areas are crazy
Haha what? Bro SEA is literally tailored for white incels. So of course you love it. You're a pathetic sex tourist who basically just wants discount hookers and you don't give a fuck about the effects your "tourism" has on the people living there. You're scum. There are a few great countries in SEA though. The Philippines has those issues but the people are gold. Malaysia was cool, Indonesia too...Singapore is amazing. It's mostly the continental SEA countries that are shit. Thailand, Cambodia (especially), Vietnam, etc.
>anywhere worth visiting in LATAM?
Nicaragua is cigar lover heaven, HQ for tons of brands including my personal favorite Padron. Costa Rica is beach paradise. Puerto Rico has great rum and nature tourism. Peru is great. Punta Cana in DR is pure resort mode beach bumming.Despite the crime, some parts of Mexico are 10/10. I'm not a fan of the music and caribbean food > rest of LATAM food (yes, even mexican, shits overrated af).
America is a pozzed terminally online society, but SEA is essentially the worst aspects of american materialism taken to the extreme. The issue of face applies to you as a foreigner too, especially with how you treat others around you.The attitude towards sex isn't as nonchalant as you think it is, you only have this idea because you're exclusively hanging around literal prostitutes. >getting robbed doesn't happen in thailand >except when chuds try to drug and rob you

thai music isn't really something to write home about either. >food

100% true >food in central is better than SEA
500% wrong, north thai cuisine is the champ >mexican girls are way hotter than asians
Asians have better bods but it is near impossible to find one with a decent face. LATAM skinnies are better than asian girls, but latinas are typically fatter (mexico was literally the fattest country in the world at one point during the past decade, even beating the USA)
tl;dr: SEA ain't heaven, LATAM has great spots. I'm not a coomer and am biased towards SEA food but LATAM culture
Hahaha therly're really that retarded? the way you described their culture was hilarious. It's kind of how I formed an impression of them too, without having the opportunity to go.
I'm from London. I'm glad you confirmed because I've been curious about seeing south America for myself.
You can still walk around the US at night if you're white and have your phone out in public. What makes SA dangerous is that you may become a target for the thugs just because you stand out as a tourist. Professionals will track you down to your hotel too.
It's pretty hard for my girlfriend. English knowledge is next to zero except at the shitty expensive gringo food places. My mediocre Spanish goes a long way.
Just spent 3 months in Mexico then 3 months in Colombia with my gf
I recommend Paraguay, Chile, Uruguay, Argentia, Colombia, Panama.
I have banking in these countries and an recommend. LATAM is safe, just avoid dangerous neighborhoods, there are maps. Also prepare to pay bribes. In Panama, they have official pricing list for bribes too, do not over pay!
I'm going to take a couple weeks to go to South America next month. I'm pretty sure I want to do Peru since I imagine anything farther south will likely be too cold. Is there anything special in Ecuador that I couldn't experience in Peru, aside from the Galapagos?
t. 20 minutes of research
Cusco seems alright. Lima seems fairly unremarkable and too much car traffic. I remember looking into Machu picchu a while back and you have to book way out. You need and international license to drive in Peru?
Quito is about on the level of the second-tier Peruvian cities Trujilo and Arequipa, maybe a little more interesting architecturally but not as interesting culturally or anywhere near as good culinary (but be aware most of the hostels in Peru don't have kitchens because eating out is so ubiquitous, so the spend is higher in Peru). Lima on the other hand is on another level entirely and Cusco is legitimately the best city for travellers on the whole continent.
Aside from the Galapagos I'm not sure anything in Ecuador beats the Cordilleras or Peruvian Amazonia. Maybe the area around Cotopaxi would be better than Puerto Maldonado and on the level of the Santa Cruz, but I think the Santa Cruz is going to beat any of those treks and the Iquitos side of the Peruvian Amazon is the best Amazon spot across Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and even Brazil.
Two weeks is nowhere near enough. You're gonna have to pick and choose probably one amongst Huaraz (Codilleras), Iquitos, Manu/Puerto Maldanado, Arequipa/Colca, Lake Titicaca, Trujilo or Nazca to add to the standard Lima and obligatory Cusco. And Cusco really is obligatory, you absolutely must not skip it.
Two weeks in Peru I would do >two or three days Lima >one week Cusco, including Macchu Picchu >three days Manu National Park in Amazonia, or add the Salkantay Trek to Cusco
You can't really do Lake Titicaca without going to Bolivia, and Americans have to pay $160 to enter Bolivia so you want to make the most of that visa. Huaraz, Trujilo and Arequipa are too far out of the way on a tight schedule, Nazca and Ica simply aren't worth it and Iquitos and that side of Amazonia probably require two weeks themselves.
I did both sides of Titicaca lake and I found the Bolivian side very overrated. Everybody says it's better but I actually enjoyed the peruvian side more.
Well its Cusco, Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. A week is almost the minimum. And Cusco is just a fun den of travellers.
Lima is not boring at all, but it doesn't require a huge time investment. Its one of the world's true culinary destinations on the level of Singapore, Chicago, Lyon etc. (though I'd argue Arequipa is actually better culinary-wise than Lima, same way Chicago > NYC and Lyon > Paris). The coast is fun and its got serious big city hustle, the backpackery bars in Miraflores are probably the best in the country aside from Iquitos.
Area around the tropic of Capricorn will still be quite hot even if it's technically winter. >t. paraguayanon
Winter here is like 2-3 days of 3ºC and then it's warm again.
Just imo here; but Quito is more of a quick five day-ish trip from the USA whereas Peru has way, way more going on in general that requires more like a six week to two month investment. Peru is unlike any other country in SA in that it really is a successor state to the Incan Empire. Even their Catholicism is draped in Incan and pre-Incan tradiitons. This makes it just way more interesting despite the fact that all of Peru's great cities get utterly demolished by earthquakes every sixty or so years.
Galapagos is the great equalizer. They are absolutely every bit as incredible as Macchu Picchu, Iquitos or Lake Titicaca...but again the Galapagos is not a backpacker "traveller" destination. You do that as its own standalone seven to ten day trip from the states.
I live in Miami which has non-stops to all these places so I might have some convenience that's unrealistic for a person living in, say, Denver or Seattle. So take that into consideration, still I think the core point stands.

Awesome, I'll probably do just that. Thank you very much.
What are your thoughts on >Machu Picchu only >Machi Picchu + Huayna Picchu >Machu Picchu + Mountain >Machu Picchu + Huchuy Picchu
I'm leaning towards Huayna if I can get the ticket. It looks like a fun little hike. Huchuy seems like a bit of a sideshow.
Huayna is absolutely worth it. I think the best way to do is Salkantay to Machu Picchu instead of Inca Trail, the latter is kind of a joke for out of shape tourists. Which if that applies to you hey no harm no foul, but its six hundred USD for that vs. the Salkantay with Macchu Picchu and with Huayna Picchu costing like a hundred.
Well I disagree. It depends on what you are looking for. If you are looking for ruins the Inca trail has no peer in the entire continent. A trekking like Salkantay can be found in any country asking the Andes
it's not about the quality of the ruins, more about the lack of ruins in any other trek in south america. I can only think of the Ciudad Perdida trek in Colombia, any other that I'm missing?
tl;dr if you are into ruins inca trail pounds salkantay to death
You wont get killed
There are even vids about how far can you get in México on yt
Like a year ago a tourits got lost in Colombia while on drugs, nothing bad happened to him
Venezuela would be the worst, unsafe and expensive too
People are right when they say, "the murder stories you hear on the News are select stories. You never hear how many murders are in America."
Absolutely correct. My friends' dad was a detective back in one of New Jerseys' big cities. There's a lot of murders & cannibals running around no one hears about. A lot of Hoodoo in the sewers, shit like that (animal & human sacrifice). In Mexico, yeah you got Santa Muerte worshippers - but most of the people who get popped in Mexico fucked with the cartels in one way or another. If you are skiddish, and avoid confrontation, you'll be fine mostly anywhere.
I camped and did some horseriding in Paraguay about 17 years ago. Other than that I stayed in Asuncion and went to Ciudad del Este. The latter is apparently unsafe but I didn’t have this feeling. It was a very messy city, interesting anyway. Full of glowies though, kek.
Overall I loved the country and felt mostly safe.
You could come to Panama. Just avoid a city called Colon and Darien. Some parts of Chiriqui and the City(mainly the ghettos) and you should you be alright. You'd live like a king here specially if you are a pensioneer.
>bro latam is so safe bro just don't do stupid things like walk out of your hotel to the grocery store without a cab, approach anyone, dress in anything but jeans, flip flops and a t-shirt, NEVER take out your phone in public, keep your wallet in a locked bag etc.
Spent 2 months in Mexico city and walked around fine. You just have to look like you're willing to fight, like any big city in the US. You need to look scarier than the next guy when walking around. And yeah don't dress like you have a shitload of money unless you're taking a car and not going to be out in the street. First thing I do before every trip is buy a cheap unlocked burner phone to use. Don't bring a 1000 dollar phone to some third world shithole. It basically stands for any city in the world. You just have to be a bad target for a robbery: look tough and poor, don't carry anything with you that you can't afford to lose, etc. If something happens, give up your shit immediately, live to fight another day, and go buy a new burner phone or whatever the next day. I've been to lots of shitholes and have had very few problems. Just know where you're going and the things that might make you a target
How communial/social is Latin America? If I moved there would it be easy to make alot of friends and marry someone family oriented? Which places are best to visit first, Chile and Uruguay? How involved in the churches do people tend to be?
The Americas have a long way to go until they actually safe for tourists.
Reminder these countries were literally slave mega-corporations. I'm talk pure capitalism of enslaving other humans. Almost always based on the color of your skin. This has rotted the absolute shit out of the citizens brains. You can not live in such a violent culture and not cause generational brain rot.
Maybe in 300 years after these countries racemix more and become more one-faced and create history that doesn't involve slavery and more so become more used to having modern technology are they going to be actually places with wealth and happiness.
And yes I include the US in this. US is the exact same but they got rich from WW2 and are uninvadable.
After high school I went to Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay with a friend of mine. Had a great time although we did get mugged in Buenos Aires but that was our fault for being in a bad area at 3 AM lol. Luckily I was smart enough to not take my card and he just took the small amount of cash I had in my wallet. He was actually friendly and understanding for a mugger.
If you want to go somewhere and not wear a mask then Peru should not be on your list. Brazil less so but if you want more of a guarantee you should be choosing between Mexico, Argentina, or Ecuador. If you want Central America you can add El Salvador and Costa Rica to that list. At the end of the day keep in mind that Mexico and El Salvador are the only two with 0 restrictions period.
Foreigners seem to get a lot of license in Peru to not wear the mask. That said if you're required to mask, you'll then also be required to double mask...which is fucking bonkers but literally all the Peruvians even outside are double or triple masked. Very cucked country, but as a tourist you live in a different world than them and everyone knows that and is OK with it.
So about 10 years ago I went to DR and hung out in favela's with gangsters who sold drugs and made shitty reggaeton music. I literally didn't have a single moment where I felt unsafe. I was with people from the DR though, and they completely flipped out at the shit I pulled, they didn't even want me walking outside of the walled compound they lived to go to the corner store. In the end I ended up in favela's across the street when I met these guys at said store. What are my chances at travelling solo through south America?
is the dr so bad though? one hand its the nicest affordably carribean destination that i could go to during the winter(and it has nice black bitches as i understand). but i would risk getting killed over this.
god the majority of u guys are such sheltered pussies
all of LatAm is not Caracas tier war zone type shit
it’s an entire fucking continent filled with mostly poor/working class people just trying to get by
Mexico is honestly the most dangerous out of the entirety of LatAm
Im not into darkies too much though. Id recommend mexico colombia or brazil for that anon. Also domincanas have really shitty atitudes for some reason. Men are pretty chill though they act like morons in the states but they are actually the better hispanics in their home country
surprising nobody mentioned Puerto Rico, it's second language is English. No drug cartel that robs you like mexico or motorcycle thiefs in Argentina. great beaches and nature.
Its still in awful shape from the storm and not really viable as a destination. If you want something close to the US where people speak english you're better off with the Virgin Islands (US or BVI, don't matter) or Belize.
Glad I got to see it before it got rekt. While I was travelling Europe in 2018, I met a ~60 y.o. guy from there and he said he didn't think he'd see it the same in his lifetime, that the storm took all the topsoil, etc. This is what you get from shit-tier management, no matter how much gibs the US throw at it.
Your pic related answers your question. I've lived in Mexico City for 8 months, worst thing that happened was a milf made me cum inside her by wrapping her legs around me.
>worst thing that happened was a milf made me cum inside her by wrapping her legs around me.
How common is that in Peru, Venezuela and Colombia? Mexican women like White boys.
It's pretty easy to bag MILFs wherever you go. They're grateful for the attention and are usually the best in bed.
Been thinking about going to Mexico City. Are the bad parts immediately recognizable to a foreigner? Is there enough to do for a few months/nightlife? It seems like the best trip for cheap but not completely boring. 150 one way ticket. Was considering going to Peru from there.
maybe Cuba too
cuba sucks ass. far better places to spend money and there is hardly anything to do.
It's one of the biggest cities on the planet so yes, there's enough to do for a few months.
How did you manage to spend two months in Colombia and walk away with that impression? Did you spend the whole time in cities?
Is Mexico City cheap compared to the US or should I go to a smaller city if I want cheap?
In terms of overall cost of living it's cheaper than the US but there are way cheaper places in the country of course. You need to provide way more information if you want specific recommendations.
I dont really know. I have about 12 grand of money that I dont need to pay for school, so I wanted to go somewhere for a few months, but I'm not sure how much I really want to spend. The real issue is flight costs, so I figure I could go to 4 or 5 places in Latin America for the same price that it'd cost to fly to SEA/India/Middle East/Africa
ill look into the neighborhoods. I was looking airbnbs in Roma, though its hard to determine what the area is going to be like. I like the grit of the smaller cities but I want to make sure there's enough to do at all hours
it's mexico city, if you run out of things to do in 5 years let me know
Don't cheap out in Mexico. Live in Condesa, Polanco or Roma if you're going to chill in Mexico City. It's still much cheaper than living in America considering these are the, "most exclusive" areas in Mexico City. My Airbnb in Condesa was only $1,450 per month, but I could've paid only $600 per month if I legit rented. If you want cheaper, try Puebla or Merida. Different cities, but good quality of life.
Yes. The bad parts look like straight up Africa. The so-so parts look like poor parts of the US. The nice parts look like normal parts of the US.
God that's hot but enjoy your wage garnishment in 9 months

No. I don’t know why this question comes up. Latino culture is this weird infantile, goofy culture with music that sounds comical, food that is actually pretty fucking bland and unremarkable, and of course a blood-lust, aztec, and extremely vicious and primitive disregard for the value of human life.
I don’t understand why any white person would go there. The upsides are gravely outweighed by the downsides. Just go to fucking SEA and give it a rest. Just go to pattaya and pull up at the patio seating of the bar
what makes SEA so great in comparison though?

Meanwhile, in SA anecdotes and conversations always mention shootings, stabbings, dead bodies in alleys, and a confrontation, infantile, gay machismo culture. Its gross and primitive, heard the food is carb heavy dogshit. A guy I met in Thailand had to fend off a knife attack and he barely got away. He literally managed to grab the wrist of the attacker and prevent him from stabbing him until there was enough attention that the attacker fled. This was in Columbia.
I don’t want to duck and dodge highly extroverted little violent bean men or worry about getting robbed or shit for my phone etc. that doesnt happen in Thailand.
Ladyboys might pickpocket or drug you and take your shit but that’s if you’re retarded enough to let them get close to you or drink with them.
Latinas have this weird juvenile culture with stupid carnival music and childish indifference to shitting out kids that they can’t afford. I just don’t like it.

You ignored everything else he wrote. South America isn't the most dangerous place in the world, but it sure as fuck isn't among the safest. The most dangerous countries in Asia (even Southeast Asia) are still safer than the safest in South America. These are countries you can go for a walk at night without everyone around you thinking you're suicidal or crazy.
All of that is just icing on the cake because Latin culture and Latina women are problems themselves.
Average SEA penor is like 4.5 inches, having even a 6 incher makes you a cock god.
Fuck off you incel gay. SEA is a shithole full of people who literally sell their children to sex tourists. The people are absolute shit, with the exception of a few countries, and it's literally not fun at all unless you're some neckbread cunt who can't get laid anywhere else in the world. The people are only nice if they think you'll eventually pay them and literally all they care about is money. They'd do anything for it to the point where it's impossible not to be disgusted if you have any morals at all. Then, anyone who is actually good there gets forced into it by the shitty ones. Awful places. Also, tourists get murdered there too, they just have "heart attacks" or "fall off of their hotel balconies" so that tourists keep coming. It was the only place I've ever been pickpocketed and I turned around and grabbed the guy, who dropped my wallet and ran. Fuck SEA.
Mexico and central America are full of poor people who like to enjoy their lives and don't care about money as much. They're friendly, they know how to have fun, and if you're not going to stupid places, mixing yourself up in shady shit like drugs, or dressing in Armani suits like you're fucking James bond, you are pretty safe
The food in central america is so much better than fucking rice and noodles dude. I almost feel like you're trolling.
>Infantile Machismo culture
Ok so you're just a wimpy gay who can't get laid anywhere but Asia, where you still have to pay for it. Exactly what I thought.
By the way, Mexican girls are way hotter than Asians with their weird eyes and boy bodies. You just wouldn't know because, again, you are a guy who can only fuck cheap Thai hookers
Decent retort but I stand by what I said.
Thanks
Both you morons make me want to go to neither now lol
It depends on your experience, man. If it's your first time out of the country, you should go to Europe or Canada or wherever, where the lessons you learn are a lot less likely to involve you dying, the police will help you, etc.
If you're pretty experienced and you know generally what types of things to avoid, when to be adventurous and when to play it safe, etc.
If you have learned those lessons, then you should be fine almost anywhere you go. Of course anything can happen, but it can happen at home too, so at least you got to eat some new food and fuck some exotic bitches before you got your face carved off in an automotive shop by a Columbian sicario. Basically, if you've been through Europe thoroughly you should have your wits sharpened enough to move on to third world shitholes. I recommend eastern Europe as a bridge to build experience before you tackle the more "risky" places. Africa is obviously the final frontier. Basically, if you consider yourself ready to go to those places then I would choose your destination almost solely based on what places you want to see and experiences you want to have. But yeah somewhere like Venezuela is probably a no go. You should already know how to do your own research about a country's safety prior to going. If you don't know how to do that, stick to Europe. The state department website has a page on every country in the world where they'll warn you of dangers and recent incidents, political unrest, etc. Some are overblown but again you should know how to vet them.
Africa is not the final frontier at all. English is pretty widely spoken, its actually fairly easy to get around and its generally not dangerous unless you're on the roads. You can obviously get yourself into some trouble if you go wandering Johannesburg at night, but if your standards of behavior are that suicidal then basically everything you do is fraught with some hazard.
Central America and Hispaniola would be the two "final frontiers" IMO that aren't going to active war zones or places in states of complete disarray and collapse like Libya or Venezuela. Also states that were run by bizarre and eccentric kleptocratic despots can be baffling and get you into trouble, mostly found in SEA, South America and Eastern Europe but oddly enough not Africa. What infrastructure Africa does have makes sense, its actually pretty intuitive.
>eastern europe as a bridge
Eastern europe is literally the safest part of europe, especially balkans. The big cities are orders of magnitude safer than their western or US counterparts. I felt much safer in all of eastern europe, balkans, turkey and middle east (non isis parts) than in any big western city. I agree that on a grand scheme of things western world is easy mode, your life is safe but your property not as much. Africa and south and central america are scary for anyone. Keep in mind I cycle and camp between cities, and walk and sleep in hostels when in cities, so if you're a credit card, big city, airplane, taxi and hotel type your experience and perspective will be different.
oh yeah eastern europe is very safe, but the sketchy areas are crazy
This post is pure COPE tbh.
Haha what? Bro SEA is literally tailored for white incels. So of course you love it. You're a pathetic sex tourist who basically just wants discount hookers and you don't give a fuck about the effects your "tourism" has on the people living there. You're scum. There are a few great countries in SEA though. The Philippines has those issues but the people are gold. Malaysia was cool, Indonesia too...Singapore is amazing. It's mostly the continental SEA countries that are shit. Thailand, Cambodia (especially), Vietnam, etc.
big fat booty latinas > your post
That is Colombia not 'Columbia' or whatever.
Why do you never see people saying "hurrr it's Rossiya not Russia" but always see this butthurt Culombian shit?
I never said Columbia once in my post dumpass
this is the post
>anywhere worth visiting in LATAM?
Nicaragua is cigar lover heaven, HQ for tons of brands including my personal favorite Padron. Costa Rica is beach paradise. Puerto Rico has great rum and nature tourism. Peru is great. Punta Cana in DR is pure resort mode beach bumming.Despite the crime, some parts of Mexico are 10/10. I'm not a fan of the music and caribbean food > rest of LATAM food (yes, even mexican, shits overrated af).
America is a pozzed terminally online society, but SEA is essentially the worst aspects of american materialism taken to the extreme. The issue of face applies to you as a foreigner too, especially with how you treat others around you.The attitude towards sex isn't as nonchalant as you think it is, you only have this idea because you're exclusively hanging around literal prostitutes.
>getting robbed doesn't happen in thailand
>except when chuds try to drug and rob you
lol
>latinas have weird juvenile culture with carnival music and shitting out kids
thai music isn't really something to write home about either.

facts
>its not fun unless you're a coomer loser
wrong af
>all they care about is money
FACTS
>tourists also get murdered too
facts
>you'll be pretty safe in LATAM
100% true
>food in central is better than SEA
500% wrong, north thai cuisine is the champ
>mexican girls are way hotter than asians
Asians have better bods but it is near impossible to find one with a decent face. LATAM skinnies are better than asian girls, but latinas are typically fatter (mexico was literally the fattest country in the world at one point during the past decade, even beating the USA)
tl;dr: SEA ain't heaven, LATAM has great spots. I'm not a coomer and am biased towards SEA food but LATAM culture
You're describing Mexico and a couple of tiny Central American countries. The rest of SA is amazing.
Hahaha therly're really that retarded? the way you described their culture was hilarious. It's kind of how I formed an impression of them too, without having the opportunity to go.
I'm from London. I'm glad you confirmed because I've been curious about seeing south America for myself.
spent 2 months in colombia, didnt die, but fuck, it's poor as shit, shitty food, everyone is fat, pollutions, fuck that place
Scenery is gorgeous, beer is cheap, most of the people I met were great (apologies if the image is fucked. Samsung metadata keeps getting erased)
Easiest place in LatAm for a gringo to score coke?
Everywhere
To put this into perspective, in 2020 the states of Illinois and Maryland both had a homicide rate of 9.1 for every 100000
Clearly South America is fine as long as you stay out of the ghettos
You can still walk around the US at night if you're white and have your phone out in public. What makes SA dangerous is that you may become a target for the thugs just because you stand out as a tourist. Professionals will track you down to your hotel too.
I wouldn't worry much, these countries are way safer than most countries like Saudi Arabia or France.
How bad is it getting around if you don't speak spanish
It's pretty hard for my girlfriend. English knowledge is next to zero except at the shitty expensive gringo food places. My mediocre Spanish goes a long way.
Just spent 3 months in Mexico then 3 months in Colombia with my gf
chile has a lot of variety and is mostly safe.
I recommend Paraguay, Chile, Uruguay, Argentia, Colombia, Panama.
I have banking in these countries and an recommend. LATAM is safe, just avoid dangerous neighborhoods, there are maps. Also prepare to pay bribes. In Panama, they have official pricing list for bribes too, do not over pay!
As long as you don't go to Venezuela or Brazil(the two most dangerous countries on earth) you'll be fine. Just don't be a clueless tourist.
any place won't get you killed, retard. the ones killing each other are drug traders in the favelas.
I'm going to take a couple weeks to go to South America next month. I'm pretty sure I want to do Peru since I imagine anything farther south will likely be too cold. Is there anything special in Ecuador that I couldn't experience in Peru, aside from the Galapagos?
t. 20 minutes of research
what draws you to Peru? it seems like the safest place in South America that's still somewhat gritty. Argentina and Uruguay just look kinda gay.
Old colonial architecture, Machu Picchu, and nature, mainly. I know basically nothing about the country, so I'm sure there's more
Also I'll probably want to rent a motorcycle and do a few hundred kms
Cusco seems alright. Lima seems fairly unremarkable and too much car traffic. I remember looking into Machu picchu a while back and you have to book way out. You need and international license to drive in Peru?
Argentina and Uruguay are very gritty.
Quito is about on the level of the second-tier Peruvian cities Trujilo and Arequipa, maybe a little more interesting architecturally but not as interesting culturally or anywhere near as good culinary (but be aware most of the hostels in Peru don't have kitchens because eating out is so ubiquitous, so the spend is higher in Peru). Lima on the other hand is on another level entirely and Cusco is legitimately the best city for travellers on the whole continent.
Aside from the Galapagos I'm not sure anything in Ecuador beats the Cordilleras or Peruvian Amazonia. Maybe the area around Cotopaxi would be better than Puerto Maldonado and on the level of the Santa Cruz, but I think the Santa Cruz is going to beat any of those treks and the Iquitos side of the Peruvian Amazon is the best Amazon spot across Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and even Brazil.
Great info, thanks. So it sounds like I won't run out of things to do if I spend the full two weeks in Peru?
Two weeks is nowhere near enough. You're gonna have to pick and choose probably one amongst Huaraz (Codilleras), Iquitos, Manu/Puerto Maldanado, Arequipa/Colca, Lake Titicaca, Trujilo or Nazca to add to the standard Lima and obligatory Cusco. And Cusco really is obligatory, you absolutely must not skip it.
Two weeks in Peru I would do
>two or three days Lima
>one week Cusco, including Macchu Picchu
>three days Manu National Park in Amazonia, or add the Salkantay Trek to Cusco
You can't really do Lake Titicaca without going to Bolivia, and Americans have to pay $160 to enter Bolivia so you want to make the most of that visa. Huaraz, Trujilo and Arequipa are too far out of the way on a tight schedule, Nazca and Ica simply aren't worth it and Iquitos and that side of Amazonia probably require two weeks themselves.
I did both sides of Titicaca lake and I found the Bolivian side very overrated. Everybody says it's better but I actually enjoyed the peruvian side more.
cusco is worth spending that much time in? is lima as boring as it looks?
Well its Cusco, Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. A week is almost the minimum. And Cusco is just a fun den of travellers.
Lima is not boring at all, but it doesn't require a huge time investment. Its one of the world's true culinary destinations on the level of Singapore, Chicago, Lyon etc. (though I'd argue Arequipa is actually better culinary-wise than Lima, same way Chicago > NYC and Lyon > Paris). The coast is fun and its got serious big city hustle, the backpackery bars in Miraflores are probably the best in the country aside from Iquitos.
Cusco is a dump and food in Peru and Bolivia is garbage tier
the fuck are you on about?
Area around the tropic of Capricorn will still be quite hot even if it's technically winter.
>t. paraguayanon
Winter here is like 2-3 days of 3ºC and then it's warm again.
Not in Cordillera, gay. I'm freezing rn.
Dont come if you are afraid
Just imo here; but Quito is more of a quick five day-ish trip from the USA whereas Peru has way, way more going on in general that requires more like a six week to two month investment. Peru is unlike any other country in SA in that it really is a successor state to the Incan Empire. Even their Catholicism is draped in Incan and pre-Incan tradiitons. This makes it just way more interesting despite the fact that all of Peru's great cities get utterly demolished by earthquakes every sixty or so years.
Galapagos is the great equalizer. They are absolutely every bit as incredible as Macchu Picchu, Iquitos or Lake Titicaca...but again the Galapagos is not a backpacker "traveller" destination. You do that as its own standalone seven to ten day trip from the states.
I live in Miami which has non-stops to all these places so I might have some convenience that's unrealistic for a person living in, say, Denver or Seattle. So take that into consideration, still I think the core point stands.
Where are the hookers
>needing to pay
>beta gay brokeboi cope
Awesome, I'll probably do just that. Thank you very much.
What are your thoughts on
>Machu Picchu only
>Machi Picchu + Huayna Picchu
>Machu Picchu + Mountain
>Machu Picchu + Huchuy Picchu
I'm leaning towards Huayna if I can get the ticket. It looks like a fun little hike. Huchuy seems like a bit of a sideshow.
Huayna is absolutely worth it. I think the best way to do is Salkantay to Machu Picchu instead of Inca Trail, the latter is kind of a joke for out of shape tourists. Which if that applies to you hey no harm no foul, but its six hundred USD for that vs. the Salkantay with Macchu Picchu and with Huayna Picchu costing like a hundred.
Well I disagree. It depends on what you are looking for. If you are looking for ruins the Inca trail has no peer in the entire continent. A trekking like Salkantay can be found in any country asking the Andes
Wow such ruins 🙂
it's not about the quality of the ruins, more about the lack of ruins in any other trek in south america. I can only think of the Ciudad Perdida trek in Colombia, any other that I'm missing?
tl;dr if you are into ruins inca trail pounds salkantay to death
If you come.to brazil.you wont be killed
Salvador, rio, foz.do iguaçu and fernando de noronha are worth a visit
You wont get killed
There are even vids about how far can you get in México on yt
Like a year ago a tourits got lost in Colombia while on drugs, nothing bad happened to him
Venezuela would be the worst, unsafe and expensive too
People are right when they say, "the murder stories you hear on the News are select stories. You never hear how many murders are in America."
Absolutely correct. My friends' dad was a detective back in one of New Jerseys' big cities. There's a lot of murders & cannibals running around no one hears about. A lot of Hoodoo in the sewers, shit like that (animal & human sacrifice). In Mexico, yeah you got Santa Muerte worshippers - but most of the people who get popped in Mexico fucked with the cartels in one way or another. If you are skiddish, and avoid confrontation, you'll be fine mostly anywhere.
I camped and did some horseriding in Paraguay about 17 years ago. Other than that I stayed in Asuncion and went to Ciudad del Este. The latter is apparently unsafe but I didn’t have this feeling. It was a very messy city, interesting anyway. Full of glowies though, kek.
Overall I loved the country and felt mostly safe.
You could come to Panama. Just avoid a city called Colon and Darien. Some parts of Chiriqui and the City(mainly the ghettos) and you should you be alright. You'd live like a king here specially if you are a pensioneer.
most indigenous countries, there are no weapons there
>bro latam is so safe bro just don't do stupid things like walk out of your hotel to the grocery store without a cab, approach anyone, dress in anything but jeans, flip flops and a t-shirt, NEVER take out your phone in public, keep your wallet in a locked bag etc.
Spent 2 months in Mexico city and walked around fine. You just have to look like you're willing to fight, like any big city in the US. You need to look scarier than the next guy when walking around. And yeah don't dress like you have a shitload of money unless you're taking a car and not going to be out in the street. First thing I do before every trip is buy a cheap unlocked burner phone to use. Don't bring a 1000 dollar phone to some third world shithole. It basically stands for any city in the world. You just have to be a bad target for a robbery: look tough and poor, don't carry anything with you that you can't afford to lose, etc. If something happens, give up your shit immediately, live to fight another day, and go buy a new burner phone or whatever the next day. I've been to lots of shitholes and have had very few problems. Just know where you're going and the things that might make you a target
>just give up all your luxuries and dont go anywhere unsafe and do a 3 year gym program to get shredded and then maybe you'll be safe in latam
Id rather be a fat degenerate coomer in SEA
elaborate on "friendly and understanding" this sounds interesting
Brazil
Does anyone have experience traveling to Puerto Rico? Planning on going there in a year with a bro but im worried about getting robbed or something
How communial/social is Latin America? If I moved there would it be easy to make alot of friends and marry someone family oriented? Which places are best to visit first, Chile and Uruguay? How involved in the churches do people tend to be?
Yes
Dont know
Depends, but not much, like fifty fifty
The Americas have a long way to go until they actually safe for tourists.
Reminder these countries were literally slave mega-corporations. I'm talk pure capitalism of enslaving other humans. Almost always based on the color of your skin. This has rotted the absolute shit out of the citizens brains. You can not live in such a violent culture and not cause generational brain rot.
Maybe in 300 years after these countries racemix more and become more one-faced and create history that doesn't involve slavery and more so become more used to having modern technology are they going to be actually places with wealth and happiness.
And yes I include the US in this. US is the exact same but they got rich from WW2 and are uninvadable.
shut up europoor
>This has rotted the absolute shit out of the citizens brains
moron you are fucking retarded. slave labor was how anything got done before the industrial revolution.
>...we thought they were white...
After high school I went to Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay with a friend of mine. Had a great time although we did get mugged in Buenos Aires but that was our fault for being in a bad area at 3 AM lol. Luckily I was smart enough to not take my card and he just took the small amount of cash I had in my wallet. He was actually friendly and understanding for a mugger.
probably everywhere is safe if arent a retard
Where is safe and I dont have to wear a mask? surprised that everyone is still wearing them in Mexico City
Paraguay, for one.
Ecuador just dropped their mask mandates and Argentina is "normal" again.
In Mexico you don't really need to wear one despite the idiocy although Mexico City is probably another story compared to the rest of the country.
Based. I have to go to Ecuador later this year unless they roll another memedemic.
Buenos Aires is normal? Mexico City is where I was going to go but ill check out the other cities. Maybe Peru and Brazil too
If you want to go somewhere and not wear a mask then Peru should not be on your list. Brazil less so but if you want more of a guarantee you should be choosing between Mexico, Argentina, or Ecuador. If you want Central America you can add El Salvador and Costa Rica to that list. At the end of the day keep in mind that Mexico and El Salvador are the only two with 0 restrictions period.
Foreigners seem to get a lot of license in Peru to not wear the mask. That said if you're required to mask, you'll then also be required to double mask...which is fucking bonkers but literally all the Peruvians even outside are double or triple masked. Very cucked country, but as a tourist you live in a different world than them and everyone knows that and is OK with it.
So about 10 years ago I went to DR and hung out in favela's with gangsters who sold drugs and made shitty reggaeton music. I literally didn't have a single moment where I felt unsafe. I was with people from the DR though, and they completely flipped out at the shit I pulled, they didn't even want me walking outside of the walled compound they lived to go to the corner store. In the end I ended up in favela's across the street when I met these guys at said store. What are my chances at travelling solo through south America?
Fine. I lived in the DR when you were there. If you can cut it in the DR, you can make it anywhere in Latin America except maybe Venezuela.
is the dr so bad though? one hand its the nicest affordably carribean destination that i could go to during the winter(and it has nice black bitches as i understand). but i would risk getting killed over this.
No, it's fine. I lived there 11 years. Don't leave your brain at the airport.
god the majority of u guys are such sheltered pussies
all of LatAm is not Caracas tier war zone type shit
it’s an entire fucking continent filled with mostly poor/working class people just trying to get by
Mexico is honestly the most dangerous out of the entirety of LatAm
Brazil
How many of the deaths do you think were tourists? This is mainly family matters and the drug wars, mostly in poor places
GigaCoomer here, which latin country has the best women for draining my balls?
DR, probably.
Im not into darkies too much though. Id recommend mexico colombia or brazil for that anon. Also domincanas have really shitty atitudes for some reason. Men are pretty chill though they act like morons in the states but they are actually the better hispanics in their home country
Colombia
>More than half of Colombia was displaced by the drug wars
>more than half
t. clueless imbecile about the subject.
surprising nobody mentioned Puerto Rico, it's second language is English. No drug cartel that robs you like mexico or motorcycle thiefs in Argentina. great beaches and nature.
Its still in awful shape from the storm and not really viable as a destination. If you want something close to the US where people speak english you're better off with the Virgin Islands (US or BVI, don't matter) or Belize.
Glad I got to see it before it got rekt. While I was travelling Europe in 2018, I met a ~60 y.o. guy from there and he said he didn't think he'd see it the same in his lifetime, that the storm took all the topsoil, etc. This is what you get from shit-tier management, no matter how much gibs the US throw at it.
