Great Trip Report. Not sure why South America gets such a bad rep. There are so many amazing places to visit. Colombia is a fun country to visit. Like in most places, you just have to pay attention to your surroundings but people are super friendly and the food is great. I've been to Argentina as well and loved it. As a matter of fact my husband and I plan to do Patagonia in 2023. We were supposed to go last year but covid happened. Peru , Chile and Brazil are on my radar too.
