Going South!

Now I'm started to plan my next big trip. The plan, as it looks to day, is to fly to Quito, Ecuador (with maybe a quick stop in Cuba) in October/November 2005 stay there and learn spanish for 2 or 3 months, and then fly to Santiago de Chile. After som R&R in Santiago I'll head even further south into Patagonia and Torres del Paine National Park. From there I will slowly make my way through Argentine, Uruguay and end up in Rio de Janeiro just in time for the carnival. After travelling around in Brasil and maybe Paraguay I'll head back home. The plan is that the whole trip will take 6 months or at as least as long as the money lasts. Any travel advice, questions or comments are more than welcome.

A rough travel plan: Ecuador-Chile-Argentina-Uruguay-Brasil.
