I plan to go 3 weeks to S. Am, but I know time is too short, so I limit to 2-3 countries - Brazil, Argentina, and/or Peru. My options are wide open as I have never been to S. Am. In future, I plan to do another trip to Chile and Antartica.
Question now:
What is the best places to visit among 2 or 3 countries as above with 3 weeks?
Please name the places + possibly transportation (bus, train, plane). If someone can roughly suggests the routing will be much appreciated.
Many thanks !
The better brazilian sight-seeings are: Rio de Janeiro, Foz do Iguaçu, São Paulo/Santos/Guarujá, Florianopolis/Balneario Camboriu, Manaus/Belem,...

The Rio--Foz de Iguacu (2 nights)--Buenos Aires route is popular among first time travellers trying to experience more than one country. Flying would be best because of the vast distances and the short time you have.
You could add:
* a quick flying trip from Rio to Salvador, Bahia or
* some days in the beach villages of Parati or Buzios,(by bus)both near Rio, or
* a few days in the Colonial historic towns in the mountains of Minas Gerais, such as Ouro Preto, Tiradentes, Congonhas (by bus from Rio)
FYI Brazil has no passenger train transport to speak of.
Trying to do too many places in that short time period would be a mistake, IMO, giving that "where am I today?" feeling.
For me, the top three places, all of which I'd try to include, are Cusco/ Machu Picchu, Foz de Iguacu, and Rio. You'd certainly need to fly.
Canadians have good taste and so does its their Goverment, this is where they have the Consulate.
To get the Canadian Visa I went there 3 times, and I was successfull in my last visit!;)
November 8th, 2004 THIS PLACE I HAD VERY IMPORTANT MOMENTS IN MY LIFE, FIRST WITH MARCIO WHEN THEY DID NOT BELIEVE THAT I WOULD SIMPLY VISIT CANADA, SECOND WITH MY FRIEND PIERRE WHEN THEY FINALLY AGREED THAT ALL I WANTED WAS GETTING FROZEN IN THE WHITE NORTH!;)

HEADLINES IN THE PAPERS IN A CERTAIN MORNING IN SÃO PAULO :))))
This is what I mostly like when I travel, those stops in the road, where you can buy fresh fruits!
I was going to São Paulo that day with my mother, my aunts Anna and Mercedz, and my great friend Marcio!
The road which links Rio to São paulo is called VIA DUTRA, and there are many interesting palces to stop there!

Great - you are taking a bus to go somewhere else: Rio, the countryside, Porto Alegre - so many options!
But how do you get to the station? By subway! The subway station is actually inside the bus station - just a long hallway down.
You can get in on any subway station - check the wall maps because you want to get to the Blue Line. The Station is Tiete. Once you leave the train, follow the wall signs pointing to "Rodoviária"
Sooner or later you will find out that Brazilians are not the slightest crazy about Mexican food. Unlike the US, where Chilliýs branches pop in front of you before you can say tortilla, you will have a hard time trying to find a good Mexican restaurant in Sao Paulo and people will see you as an e.t. if you ask for one in Salvador.
Why is that? The first obvious reason is Brazil is much farther from Mexico than US and therefore much less influenced by its culture. Second reason is that Brazil has a strong culinary culture (yes, Iým talking about feijoadas, churrascos and other light local dishes) as well as a significant European influence on the main cities when it comes to restaurants.
But, if you are crazy about Mexican food, you donýt need to panic. There are a few good Mexican restaurants in Sao Paulo and El Kabbong Gril is one of them. It has been in the city for 7 years (a record!) with a bar and a full service restaurant. A good choice is ýLos 3 Amigosý: a combination of a cheese enchilada , a beef taco and a chicken burrito. For the veggies, the Burritos are good but wonýt make you feel any nearer to Frida Khalo.
Very interesting when in S?o Paulo is to visit one of the many food?s street fairs that happen through the city specially on residential areas. Around 1:00 pm when they are ready to close, all the vendors start screaming trying to sell their last items.
CEASA has the biggest one that happens on Saturdays and Sundays morning. A huge variaty of vegetables and specially tropical fruits.
