Without exception, we found friendly people throughout South America. The Colombians, Brazilians and Uruguayans were especially welcoming and helpful, as were the Argentines.
But for entertainment value, our people award has to go to the Argentines, who have an expert opinion on everything from nuclear science to the perfect Asado Chimichurri. Argentines,even in the smallest of villages, can come up with a very convincing answer on the distance to Alaska. Of course, it is never just a simple, round figure, but rather something very exact like 7,654.0967km! We know they’re about 10,000km off…. but listening to them you’d nearly believe it!!!
