RTW: Exchange in Chile

Travel plan adjustments

I noticed that there is some space within my travel plan and thus I decided to make some new arrangements (something to look for when study motivation gets closer to zero). It is all starting to come together now and I will probably end up seeing a lot more of South America than I anticipated earlier.

First I will head to Bolivia in late may to see the Salar de Uyuni (thanks for the tip, Simo) and the Lago Titicaca that I missed thanks to the bus problems in Peru. On the same trip I'll go check out Northern Chile. And the best part: my friend Carlos from Mexico might join in for the ride!

Then it will finally be time to see Johanna again in june and we'll be making a modest tour of the main sights of Southern Chile, Tierra del Fuego and Southern Argentina before heading to Buenos Aires, Foz do Iguazu and Rio de Janeiro. By the way, by the time we are in Rio it will be semifinals and finals of soccer, so if Brazil goes all the way this year there will be an extra carnaval..

And that is not all, since I got some 22 days to spend in Costa Rica according to my earlier plan, I will try to change it so that from Rio I will head to Manaus instead to check out the Amazonas (!!! another dream come true !!! ) and then find a way to get to Costa Rica, probably first to Venezuela and I'll see it from there what seems convenient so that I can continue the old plan as intended from Panama City. After all, at this point many things could have gone wrong already and I´m not about to relive the Peruvian bus mishap. Just have to find some malaria medicine for this part of the trip but I think I can come up with it somewhere..

NOW this is starting to look like a real trip! ;)
