Your favourite drunken englishman will be gracing your continent this summer/winter for two months and would appreciate any suggestions/advise you can give him.
I am flying into Lima, Peru, plan to go up into Ecuador/Columbia then fly/take bus down to santiago to stay with a friend for a bit, then over to argentina (and possibly uruguay), back to santiago then up to bolivia and finally back to peru for a proper look at macchu picchu and the inca trail.
Questions:
I know it's winter for you guys, but how cold/wet/dark will it actually be?
I have $2000, is that enough to get by on? I'm told that in most countries it's possible to get by on $15 a day, but I wont know all the local bargains and my drug/alcohol/cigarette consumption is well above average. Even so $2000 gives me $250 a week which is considerably more, and accommodation will be free while i'm in santiago, so I should be ok, right?
Cocaine - is it easy to come by in south america, is it cheap, and is it worth doing at all or are the laws/penalties too severe?
Havana cigars - can I pick them up cheap around south america?
Also ANY advise you could give, recommended things to do, places to stay, places to eat etc you can give would be much appreciated
