The main 3 countries ill be in are colombia, Brazil and Argentina.

Once i like an area then ill try and rent out a longer term apartment. Ill eat out once a day and rest would be cooking.

My life wouldn't be too flashy. Mostly gym , going out here and there. Eating out once a day. Public transport. Travelling around the country etc Some fun here and there etc taking a girl out on a date somtimes to eat etc . I rarely drink alcohol,no drugs etc.

2100 usd monthly.

Thanks

just did a year in South America, went to every country except for Venezuela. More than half of my time was spent in Airbnbs and I moved around a lot which increases cost. Did the touristy things in each country and partied. That is a good budget and you’ll be able to do everything you listed + more. Enjoy! Brazil will be the most expensive and currently Argentina will be the cheapest if you get the blue dollar rate but that may change with the new president coming in.

I did this same trip but over the last 3 years. $2100's not going to cut it.

I'd say you'd need $2500 to travel with friends. $3500 on your own. Minimum.

I fhink this question is lifestyle dependent

Lets say $20 a day for food for 30 days $600 Op wants to eat out once a day

Airbnb = $600 for decent apartment

$350 for flights

So op is at $1550 a conservative end

This could go up if they want a nicer apartment etc

For what OP is looking at, they need $2500 minimum

Yeah, that’s just not true. You could get by with less than $2k in Colombia if you wanted to.
