We flew Quantas from Auckland to Santiago, it was fine, although the jet lag was a nightmare. It was part of our round the world ticket. Perhaps you could fly to Santiago and get an extra flight to BA.

In any case, you should be prepared for a cultureshock. I normally always have a cultureshock when I'm in a new country, but in Peru I only had it in Lima. Lima is a big city (as big as Belgium itself) and has very hectic traffic. Keep in mind that is a very touristic place in Peru. The city itself ...

We only went to Buenos Aires in Argentina, but as far as a female travelling on her own I think you will be ok. Just make sure you listen to local information and try and make yourself blend in as much as possible, knowing the language will be very useful too. An example of this is a group of people...

You will pass stalls in the local markets with tanks of small live frogs on the ground and a blender on the table. For 5 soles, you can watch a frog be plucked from the tank, skinned alive by hand (gruesomely fascinating), its guts torn out, washed, then put into the blender. Other ingredients like ...
