TRAVELING TO SOUTH AMERICA

If you are thinking of going to South America, consider these:

Some South American countries like Brazil require vaccination, especially yellow fever, if you are coming from certain areas of the globe – but not North America.

Some countries do not require visas from an unusual list of nationalities such as Filipinos but do require them from Americans and/or Canadians. Three countries come into mind: Suriname, Brazil and Peru.
