Latin American Travel Do’s and Donts

I’m going to make it super simple for you: if you want to travel to Latin America, don’t know much Spanish, and want to have a great time:

Don't book a super cheap hostel if you don't know enough about the language, people, or the area.

1. Don’t walk on the street with a phone in your hand or back pocket.

2. Use a crossbody side bag for security.

3. Don't carry all your cash on outings.

4. Avoid airport currency exchange.

5. Exchange your money at your bank.

6. Use the national bank for currency exchange in the destination country.

7. Prepay for as much as possible:

   1. Viator Experiences

   2. Airbnbs

   3. Hotels

8. Preplan everything.

   1. Wanderlog.com is a great resource for finding places and building a shareable itinerary for your trip.
