Passage Planning a Trip
Travelers fall into two categories: those who make lists and those who do not. Some people prefer to plan the course of their trip to the finest detail. For others, the joy of a trip is its spontaneity 7.
Neither approach works 8 perfectly 9 in South America. It is an area that requires considerable 10 preparation; internal 11 flights often run only once or twice a week, and an advance booking can mean the difference between continuing to a new city and waiting several days for another flight. On the other hand, planners will have to leave some matters to be done without having planned them in advance. Some of the most exciting tours are best arranged from nearby cities after your arrival. And whether you consider yourself a planner or a free spirit, you still have to decide certain basics at the very start: where to go, what to do, and how much to spend. These decisions require a certain amount of planning. So before planning specific travel-related 12 details, you might want to establish your general travel aims.
