Travel South America | Backpacking South America: 14 countries 7 months.
A compilation of our 7 months backpacking around every country in South America. Started in Colombia and travelled clockwise all around the continent until we got back to Colombia. Countries visited: Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guyana, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina, Falkland Islands, Chile, Boliva, Peru and Ecuador. Trying to upload again in the hope that youtube won’t block my audio this time around.

It depends on where in South America you are planning on going. South America has everything from tropical to temperate to glacial climates, and of course, seeds will be available at different times of the year. You may want to do some customs or USDA inquires if you are planning to take seeds back the the US. Most unprocessed plant materials, which would include seeds, are not allowed into the country without special permitting, if at all. I expect that most countries have the same type of laws.

Awesome dude, especially the the sounthern reigion of south america.
@langd8n I found you can go to a place without a plan, when i backpacked through asia totally winged it, had the time of my life and like you say your on the backpackers circuit so you go by word of mouth. Definetly handy to have a lonely planet
it looks a wicked trip mate, thanks for sharing the video… It’s definitely making me hungry for the adventure!
AMAZING. Going travelling around SA before living there for a year as part of my Latin American Studies degree…this video is so MOTIVATING!! THANKS!!
bruv can you fill me in on ideas for a one month trip in December? I’ve got US $14,000.00. Obviously, I would like to spend less, but I want to see a lot in this 1 month.
Any thoughts?
Yo man, a friend and I are planning to do this exact thing, did you ever consider working in some of the places to earn more cash to stay longer?
@bossz4 $9000 each, mate.
Didn’t really research anywhere. Just got a map and decided to go clockwise. We were playing it by ear all the time. Mind you, a Lonely Planet comes in handy….
Hey bro I’m from Mexico and i’m planing a trip to south america but did you spend US$9000 just for you or both? and how did you get all the info of the places you visited? i mean do you got a map o internet research thanx.
@soujirou86 roughly £6,000… (US $9,000)
Awesome, how much money did u spend in south america’??

I have said it to you before … Your videos makes me want to travel again. Thanks – and go travel again and make more videos for us.
@carlousmoochous I’ve spent all my money! Trying to get a job in TV production to save some money to go travelling again, but it’s proving difficult…
@langd8n .. No problems.. Would have taken you a while but its turned out great. So when’s the next trip ?
@carlousmoochous Thanks! Yeah it was actually, very time-consuming to go through all that footage and condense it into 8mins…
great video.. must have been hard to wrap up 7months into just under 8minutes of video.. well done
