Hello,
I'm planning a trip to Quito, Ecuador with my girlfriend. I keep reading more and more that it's not exactly a safe city and muggings/theft is quite common. I'm actually growing a bit concerned from what I've read so far. Are there any tips to stay safe and avoid getting mugged? Also, are there any areas in Quito that are dangerous and should be avoided at all cost? Thank you very much!!!

PS: I already bought a money pouch to keep my money under my shirt (to avoid my wallet getting stolen). I also know not to wear flashy clothing/jewelery.

I want to do a charity trek in Peru this year. I saw an advert for one that was in September but I can't remember who is organising it. Has anyone ever been on anything like this, and who would you recommend going through?

Thanks

My friend and I are planning a 1month long backpacking trip through Latin America in May (we're 2 guys in our late twenties). Any suggestions on the best countries or route to take either in South or Central America? (advice on safety, cheap destinations, weather, people, and culture is helpful in your explanations)

Some possible routes include:
1) Argentina, Chile, Peru, Ecuador
2) South Mexico (Yucatan), Guatemala, Belize, Honduras
3) Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador
4) Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela

Thanks in adavance!!!

I will be taking a company trip to Montevideo for a week in October. I want to visit another South American place but have limited time and budget (about US$1.3k). Should I go to Lima, Cuzco and Macchu Pichu for the obvious reasons? Or Santiago to see the best night skies in the world? Or El Calafate to see glaciers and the Patagonian landscape? Or should I just stick to Uruguay? I don't mind only doing one thing, because it's the quality of the experience that counts for me.

My fiancé and I are taking a very long trip through central and south america and would love to see the galapagos. We know that you have to fly to the island and pay $100 to get into the reserve, but is there a cheap tour/hotel to do once we get there or can we stay at a hotel and walk around without tours?
