I am awaiting answers to iamking's questions and I also have a few:

1. I have never been backpacking before, but I would like to spend about 3 weeks in South America in the fall. Would I be able to do it as a novice? I have traveled quite a bit to other continents and don't consider myself a moron!

2. Would I be able to do Rio to Iguazu to Buenos Aires to Chile (Santiago and San Pedro de Atacama) to Peru (Machu Picchu, Ica, Nazca maybe, Lima) in 3 or 4 weeks?

Thanks!

I am still thinking about a trip to South America in early September. I have narrowed it down that I want to do Lima, Ica, Huacachina, Machu Picchu, and then Buenos Aires and Iguazu Falls. I could have as much as 20 days to do all of this, and I would be staying in hostels.

Does anyone have a suggested itinerary for doing this, especially one that will minimize the back and forth transportation that it would entail? The only way I could see it happening was Lima-Ica-Cuzco then back to Lima to fly to Buenos Aires, and then Buenos Aires to the Falls, stay a little while, and then back to Buenos Aires to fly home.

Any tips?
