That information is published by the CDC and outlines what specific vaccines you need and which are recommended for travel to tropical South America.
Don't forget travel insurance - just in case.

Check with the website for the US Center for Disease Control or your national health service to see what they recommend. Here's the CDC page on that: http://www.cdc.gov/travel/vaccinat.htm A travel medicine doctor can tell you what you need and administer the vaccinations and any prescriptions you need.
Here is our page on health tips: http://www.mousetourstravels.com/international-travel-health-tips.html an our page on vaccinations: http://www.mousetourstravels.com/international-travel-health-vaccinations.html
and on malaria pills in case you need those: http://www.mousetourstravels.com/malaria.html
