If you book flights to South America, you may want to consider your travel options during your stay.  When you book flights to South America, bus travel is perhaps the most popular form of public transport.  The more developed regions of Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina all have good roads, however, be prepared for other regions which may be slightly rougher.  When flying to South America, rail travel is not always well connected, so it is better not to rely so much on this mode of transport.  You may want to consider air travel if you prefer to reach your destinations quicker, although this will be expensive.

If you book cheap flights to South America, you may want to check if your destination country requires a visa.  Fortunately, Qatari citizens no longer require a visa for visiting Brazil for tourism or business of up to 90 day’s stay.  Equally, if you are flying to South America and visiting Argentina, a visa is not necessary for up to 90 day’s stay.  Make sure your passport is up to date with six months validity from your departure date and check your vaccination requirements for different regions.  A yellow fever vaccination may be necessary for some areas, alongside hepatitis A and typhoid.  Consider packing plenty of tropical formula insect repellent, especially for jungle areas as Dengue and Zika virus can be endemic. Finally, if you intend to travel mostly by bus, you can download the Red Bus app for up-to-date information and tickets.

A trip to South America would not be complete without visiting the city of Machu Picchu which is hidden high in the clouds of the Peruvian Andes.  The Iguazu Falls are also spectacular, forming at the point where Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay meet.  Another worthwhile trip would be to take a cruise from Ecuador to discover the Galapagos Islands to experience the unique plant and animal life.
