Why isn't South America as popular of a tourist destination as South East Asian countries?
Everyone I know who went to an exotic place in winter went to either to the Maldives or SEA and it makes me kind of mad.
Instead of visiting your Roman(and German) cousins in Argentina and Chile you go to those SEA monkeys.
I remember that as a kid South America was seen as kind of a second Europe and played a pretty big role in my education like surfers, astronauts, paragliding, asteroids and prison. Argentina was basically Spain 2.0 and Brazil wasn't thought to be some place filled with La Abominciones but instead a white country with some racial minorities. Only places like Bolivia and Central America had a foreign air.
