#travelnuggets This is actually quite weird. A small spanish goes a long way in many Latin American country. And I mean really not too much. Even in Brazil, where they speak portugues. Sometimes the middle ground is spanish, as they dont speak english. (But fortunately in many places they do...) So start that duolingo or babel before you go. The more basic stuff you understand, the better off you will get. Of course going on a spanish tour would still be hard, but it will help a lot. Actually we learned in Brazil, that we know a lot of spanish compared to nothing in portugues, and this is really, really feelable. #travel #traveltips #travelling #backpacking #backpacker #southamerica #sa #chile #argentina #peru #bolivia #ecuador #colombia #brazil

#travelnuggets It is a captain obvious, but always ask for prices in multiple agencies if you want to book a tour. Competition always help the consumer! #travel #traveltips #travelling #backpacking #backpacker #southamerica #sa #chile #argentina #peru #bolivia #ecuador #colombia #brazil

#travelnuggets Sleeping bag is useful, but takes a lot of space, and if you bring enough warm clothes, it shall be fine without it. Probably a sleeping liner is better, so you can select cheaper hostels, and you don't have to sleep in the possibly dirty bed. Also sleeping liners are smaller, take up less space. #travel #traveltips #travelling #backpacking #backpacker #southamerica #sa #chile #argentina #peru #bolivia #ecuador #colombia #brazil

#travelnuggets Always ask if there is a cash discount. You can save a lot many times. #travel #traveltips #travelling #backpacking #backpacker #southamerica #sa #chile #argentina #peru #bolivia #ecuador #colombia #brazil

#travelnuggets If you go to Argentina cash up dollars before. You are better off exchanging dollars to argentinien pesos, then withdrawing money from an atm. Western Union could also work. #travel #traveltips #travelling #backpacking #backpacker #southamerica #sa #chile #argentina #peru #bolivia #ecuador #colombia #brazil

#travelnuggets Don't bring a mosquito net! It is quite big, and where you need it, you most probably will have it. #travel #traveltips #travelling #backpacking #backpacker #southamerica #sa #chile #argentina #peru #bolivia #ecuador #colombia #brazil

#travelnuggets Save your photos in a cloud or on an external device if you travel longer. You can have your own cloud, to have more privacy. Using a cloud has the advantage of having your phone or external devices stolen, does not mean your photos are gone. Also easier to share with your friends or family. #travel #traveltips #travelling #backpacking #backpacker #southamerica #sa #chile #argentina #peru #bolivia #ecuador #colombia #brazil

#travelnuggets If you make your plan tight to visit more things in a day, we suggest you plan some extra days to give room to rest a bit, plan further or be more flexible. #travel #traveltips #travelling #backpacking #backpacker #southamerica #sa #chile #argentina #peru #bolivia #ecuador #colombia #brazil

#travelnuggets You either go with the flow and plan more days in a city accordingly, or you plan then you can fit less days. Of course you can spend less in the city while you go with the flow, but you might miss out on some things. #travel #traveltips #travelling #backpacking #backpacker #southamerica #sa #chile #argentina #peru #bolivia #ecuador #colombia #brazil
