Has anyone been to the northern end of South America recently?

I'm planning a month trip next easter and would like to look at the amazon rainforest area in Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru and then the likes of Honduras and Nicaragua.

Am keen to know how safe it is generally for tourists.

Been to all of them apart from Nicaragua, would really warn against Honduras. Constantly felt under threat there. My recommendations would be to definitely go to Peru (you have to see Macchu Picchu) and Bolivia is amazing if you can get there. Night times especially special if you're as fascinated as I am by stars and planets, as it's the 'brightest' night sky in the world. You can see everything, it's a special experience.
 
Good deals from Lufthansa at the minute. Argentina and China looking attractive. Can't decide which to go for. Been Argentina before and not China so should probably go China but Argentina is boss.
 
Going to Sofia in about a week. Apparently there's not much to see (not saying I am disappointed, I just expected tad more), but I can always use some help. Asking classic questions again - what to see, where to go, what/where/when to drink?

@DualityNSNO lad?

Why would you go there? I hate that city ffs.

What do you want to see (i.e. what are you after basically)? Loads of statues and great architecture and stuff around the city centre, nothing else around the rest of it lol

Where to drink: as in any of our countries - anywhere, any time ;)
 
Chance to go to China in the summer with Uni, exciting apart from the flight.

States in a month, utterly terrified like but ah well.

Where about in China, mate? If you can get to the more rural parts it's a lovely country. Can't stand the food though.

Hello mate returned from a year travelling central America about 12 hours ago. Spent the last 4months in Colombia. Best place on earth that I've visited. Consider going to Leticia and getting boat through AmaZon for 7days to Peru. Venezuela sounds amazing we couldn't go as they are having a few issues with Colombia at the moment and land borders were closed but heard it's beautiful and so cheap

Was in Venezuela 10 years ago. It really is beautiful and so much to see/do. Situation seems pretty dodgy there at the moment. Not sure if I'd risk going in there now the way things are.

Because it's cheap af and I love visiting different cities and countries, even if it's something like this. It's meant to be a short trip anyways, so I guess it'll be fine.
