3 weeks holiday
 
hi this is archer from hong kong. Can anyone please help to recoomend the best itinerary and tight budget like backpacker adventure in south america. I am planning to see at least 3 or 4 counties in one tour since this is the first time to travel in south america and maybe the last tour, too coz it is extremel;y expensive to get back to this adventure. i live in hong ong and the the ticket is costing aroun 2,150 USD from hk to lima per. i am a hobng kong resident but holding a philippine passport. going to Peru, brazil, ecuador , galapagos does not need to get a visa. Is there any way i get a better flight from hong kong? The problem is i cannot go grom hk to Lima visa transit/stopover in the US since i still need to get a visa.

Please if anypone here to provide the best itinerar and maybe know some cheap ticket fare from Hong Kong. and 3 week itineray to peru (need to see of course macchu picchu, lake tticaca and cuzzo and lima, ecuador, galapagos, amzon and brazil) It is okay if i take teh bus or train for cheaper cost. Please can suggest the best way to accomodate my 3 weeks plan. I know it may be ambitious to see everything but i nedd to do it since this is onece in alifetime for me.

i go by myself and planning this coming april. I appreciate a promt reply.

by the way, anyone going to those places this april???

thanks and appreciated

Put Machu Picchu at the end of your itinerary because of the flooding and washout of the train, you want to be sure it will be open!
