I’m planning a solo road trip through South America and I’m feeling a mix of excitement and nerves. I can’t wait to dive into the vibrant cultures, stunning landscapes, and amazing food, but safety is definitely a major concern for me since I’m traveling alone. I’ve done some research on safety records for female travelers, but I’d love to get insights from those who’ve been there firsthand.
So far, I’ve come across Chile and Uruguay as generally safe options, but I’ve heard mixed reviews about Brazil and Colombia. For those of you who have traveled solo in these countries, how was your experience? Did you find certain areas felt safer or more welcoming than others?
Also, what tips would you share for navigating these countries confidently as a solo female traveler?
