Come on Daniel!!! Brazil & Arg are a different story.. no doubt Brazil is beautiful and offers a wide range of options but there’s after a while you get tired of the same stuff, yeah Sao Paulo is a metropoli but not .. wow! Rio away from Copacabana area turned really not cool for me…
If I would spend my money in another trip to South America or suggest places to friends, Buenos Aires is definitely the one not to miss….
It’s the mix of cultures, you see European styles mixed with the “colonial one” typical of Argentina plus some ingredients from every single soul that stepped in that land throughout its history. No doubt, in Buenos Aires you smell culture, and of the good kind.. everything is special, the nightlife is not just jumping and chopping up and down, you move from tango to folk music to a good concert of classical music and you can finish at a very cool trance party.
Also its people, kind, generous, learned and open-minded, refined..The few “gauchos” I met in the countryside were so welcoming and educated.. really it was a pleasure.
.. and yes, Argentina is not only BAires, you can go to the desert areas as well, the falls in Iguazu, the mountains in the central area, the glacier P. Moreno, you can even see whales near you… amazing, you can enjoy the warmer areas of the North.. and yes, you can get at the same time snow in case you want to ski (in Brazil not)…
ok,.. for some reason I met so many Brazilians in Argentina and all of them were delighted with the place.

hey people, if you wanna INVEST, GO TO ARGENTINA!!! Brazil shouldn’t be missed but no comparison between the 2….

Nite life in South America is amazing. Much better than in North America and as good as in Europe. My tips:

Colombia: Bogota and baraquilla have a good nite life on the street.
Peru – Cuzco is amazing, many niteclubs and people from all parts of the world.
Argentina – Buenos Aires has a good niteclubs such as Pacha. Cordoba is a university city and many bars u can find down there.
Brazil – Definitively it is the country of parties. Rio you can find good niteclubs and many parties on the street like Salvador. Sao Paulo was surprising. Brazilians say that Sao Paulo never stops. They are right, the nitelife there is comparing to Ibiza in summer, but the difference is the parties are all year long. There you can find Pacha, The Week niteclub, The Edge, etc. I love it.

bye!

i visited iguazu when i was in south america and there’s not much going on there at night except for a whole lot of animal noises. it’s a national park, not a party. not that the point of the article seemed to be to talk about brazil at all, though…

Before u visit Buenos Aires, Argentina u need to know Brazil. It’s closer and more interesting. If u look for a big metropole you can go to São Paulo, bigger than BA, richer and it is the biggest gastronomic center on earth. If u look for a big city with incredible beaches how about Rio, Florianopolis, Salvador, Recife? If you look modern architeture go to Brasilia. Amazing city. Looking for savannas? Go to pantanal? Do you like Niagara falls? Iguaçu falls are bigger and more beatiful. Have you ever seen a desert with a lot of lagoons? Go to Lenções. Don’t forget the biggest rainforest in the world, go to Manaus or Belém.

Wow! All of this and more is in only one country. Brazil.
