Best place to travel/visit/vacation to in central/south america (excluding mexico)?

I want to visit somewhere in central/south america...I can speak spanish too...from school haha. I live in the US. I'm just wondering whats a great place to visit and vacation to in these countries.

(I've heard that most of them are third-world countries...which can be dangerous!)

Belize.


Sometimes it can be a little bit scary, but if you stick to the big tourist spots you'll be fine.

I would go to Brazil for the beaches and Amazonian jungles or Peru to see Macchu Piccu.

Actually, Latin American Countries arent the greatest, but by no means are they as bad as some of the places in Africa. Those countries are actually pretty nice. I think that Peru would be pretty cool, seeing Maccu Piccu. And Argentina has real nice architecture, and great accordion music. But the only hispanic country Ive gone to is Mexico (sorry). But it was really nice where i was. It was on the Yucatan. The resort was real nice, and its pretty cool to see the Mayan ruins, but it was really hot.

Bolivia?
Bolivia contains every type of geographically classified land--from tropical lowlands to parched desert to rugged Andean plains., gerally Adean 2/3's ocf the coutry is in the Amazon basin.
The least discovered and has remained unimpressed from the outside world. ,high peaks, impenetrable lakes, mysterious ruins, thin air...may be the least discovered.
Bonito, Brazil, an eco-area of Brazil, a country know for its overgrown ladscapes, both urban and rural, Bonito is the country's eco-tourist destination. A theme park.
Much of its spots are located on private estates, a such as Estancia Mimosa. Gruta do Lago Azul, or Cave of the Blue Lake, is an awesome sight, particularly in January and February when a shaft of sunlight illuminates the lake.fresh water containing a hugh concentrate of calcium carbonate, the basis of limestone , this hard water turns anypurity into to stone .wterfalls grow upwards over time, thanks to the contant buildup of solidified debris.
clear and see a panrama of colourful fish. The nearest airport is in the capital of Mato Grosso do Sul state, Campo Grande, 31/2 hrs. away by car or bus.
Also has hotels to stay.

go to a tour of Costa Rica. or just go to San Jose, or Arenal. they are both pretty, but in terms of nature, Arenal is muy mucho prettier.

brazil is nice.
puerto rico, too!

costa rica
or mexico...i liked puerta vallarta

i would also like to go to peru, and maybe brazil.
rio de janeiro, brazil looks beautiful.

and if you are into scuba diving, indonesia and the Philippines are supposedly great places to go. and yes, i know, they aren't in central America

i´m from Argentina, we are not the worse thing, and dangerous either, there in u.s.a they kill themselves for any thing, i don´t know what you think about the Latinoamerica, but i live very very well i have all i want and i´m very proud to be Latino and Argentino.
I recommend you Uruguay (punta del este) o my country ( bariloche, mendoza, neuquen, tierra del fuego or chubut)

Bye
