3 Month South America Itinerary
I will be solo backpacking South America for three months later this year. Below is the itinerary that I have drafted. Beyond the big treks/trips (Salkantay, Easter Island, W Trek) I aim to keep the schedule fairly flexible but have drafted up dates for the entire trip to have a skeleton to work off of. I would be grateful for any thoughts or recommendations. Thank you!
