Would be great to have some tips for South America. Any amazing places you should stay, hidden secrets, top tips or recommendations? Would love to hear about them as I'm off to Brazil and Argentina for New Year. Thank you.

    deborahmathias I live in Rio (Brazil) and I have some tips for you (: If you come to Rio and want to make a quick and delicious meal, go to "Rei do Mate". They have amazing things to eat and drinks that you'll love to have again. Ask for "Mate com Leite condensado" (with condensed milk) *-*

    More places you'll love to eat:
    - Rei da Empada / Empada Carioca: They have 'empadinha', you'll love it *-* Well, for me it's the best thing in the hole world (after pizza of course!)
    - Mundo Verde: If you're vegetarian, you'll love Mundo Verde, because everything is made for vegetarians and it's delicious! They sell things fo house too, incenses, etc. There's a lot of Mundo Verde's in Copacabana!
    - If you want to eat well and cheap, you should look for "self service' places. You choose what you want to eat, the quantity and stuff.. and you don't pay tons of money! (:
