The Beginning of the Trek
I left Buenos Aires on Christmas Day which unbeknownst to me was the offical start of the Argentine vacation season. The train station was full of hundreds of 20-30 year old Argentine backpackers headed to the north of the country and then to Bolivia, Peru and maybe even further. Since I left Buenos Aires there have been young Argentines EVERYWHERE, and in huge numbers.
In Bolivia they've been joined by a large numbers of Brazilians as well but nowhere near the numbers of Argies. Europeans have been everywhere in smaller numbers and Americans have been nearly non-existant. Since leaving Buenos Aires I have come across 6. Six out of about 1,000 people I've had even a slight conversation with. Six. Two from Boston, one from Anchorage, two from Denver and one from Portland. Is the economic crisis in the US that bad? SL
