The problem with all this is that it is not so easy… When you travel through countries that are not your own, although in some you will only need a passport, in others you will need a visa. It all depends on your nationality to have more or less ease of entry.
If you want to complete our list of places to see before you die in Latin America, it will be much easier if your country of residence is in Europe. In most of them, you will only be required to have a passport with more than 6 months of validity to be able to enter.
In countries like Ecuador and Bolivia, this visa allows you to stay there for a maximum of 90 days. Chile also has the same agreement with the European Union, so it will be easy to organize your W Trek in Torres del Paine or your trekking through the O Circuit.
In the case of Argentina, the permit will also be for 90 days, although it can be extended for another 90 days by requesting it at the consular office. Do you think this is enough time to see all of Patagonia Argentina and enjoy the mini trekking on the Perito Moreno Glacier?
Budget for traveling in South America by car
Because it is the electronic system in which the electronic authorization is requested and the affirmative or negative answer is received If you do not apply for the ESTA, there is no possibility of traveling to the USA using the Visa Waiver Program.
It should be a responsible attitude in terms of fully complying with the period of stay: no more than 90 days each time and for the exclusively authorized reasons: tourism, business and transit. In the event that these conditions are not met, Chile’s stability in the Visa Waiver Program will be harmed.

Any traveler affected by a chronic illness should carry the necessary medication for the entire duration of the trip. All medications, especially those requiring a prescription, should be carried in hand luggage in their original containers with visible labels. As a precaution against loss or theft, it is advisable to carry medication in duplicate in checked baggage. The traveler should carry with him/her the name and contact details of his/her physician along with other travel documents, and information on his/her medical condition and treatment, as well as details of the medication (including generic names of medications) and prescribed dosages. This information should also be kept in electronic format so that it can be retrieved remotely (e.g. in a secure database). It is also necessary to carry a physician’s report, certifying the need for medication or other medical supplies (e.g. syringes) carried by the passenger, which may be requested by customs officials and/or security personnel.

What budget do I need for backpacking in South America? Is transportation very expensive? Is it possible to camp? How do I travel so cheaply? These and many other questions are the most frequently asked when planning a trip for the first time.
There are as many answers as there are travelers. In this kind of guide I will try to share the keys that made Juan and me be able to travel for 18 months with U$D 7 per day between the two of us. The more gas-guzzling/scratchy/broken version of me (and not for that reason unhappy, much less dirty) is about to be revealed.
So if you’re thinking of taking a trip and don’t have a lot of money, put the water for tea (I don’t drink mate), bring your notebook, and stay put. Coming soon is a guide on how to put together a backpacking budget for traveling in South America.
Normally, and regardless of the type of trip, the budget is divided into three basic elements: transportation, food and lodging. The first part (except within the cities) is solved by hitchhiking. Even in countries like Bolivia, where buses are very cheap, we choose to extend the thumb: we do not do it only for economic reasons.
