South America (Spanish: América del Sur or Sudamérica; Portuguese: América do Sul) is the southern continent of America, situated entirely in the Western Hemisphere and mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, with a relatively small portion in the Northern Hemisphere. It is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean and on the north and east by the Atlantic Ocean; North America and the Caribbean Sea lie to the northwest.

America was named in 1507 by cartographers Martin Waldseemüller and Matthias Ringmann after Amerigo Vespucci, who was the first European to suggest that the newly discovered lands were not India, but a New World unknown to Europeans.

South America has an area of 17,840,000 square kilometers (6,890,000 sq mi), or almost 3.5% of the Earth's surface. As of 2005, its population was estimated at more than 371,090,000. South America ranks fourth in area (after Asia, Africa, and North America) and fifth in population (after Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America).

A. Line of Demarcation is another term for Political Boundary. i.e. After the Mexican-Texan war the Line of Demarcation of Mexico was reduced. The Line of Demarcation of the United States was extended.

I want to explore South America. What is the most cost effective way to do it?
Q. Following college graduation in December, my plan is to buy a one-way ticket to somewhere in South America. Once there, I plan having about $1500 to explore with and when the money runs out I will return home. Has anyone here done anything similar to this? What advice do you have regarding places to visit, how to get there, etc, keeping in mind my limited budget. Thanks!

A. Try working in youth hostels, while you stay there, in Peru this option should be available most of the times. Things to see and do, well this depends on your preferences, most people are totally into Machu Picchu, I preferred doing a three day rafting trip in a canyon for about one third of the money... Try to get how much some things cost, a friend of mine payed way less than other people. Bargain, bargain and try to group with people who are good with that. The most interesting country I visited was Bolivia, it is the most adventurous and also one of the cheapest countries. Be careful with the food and water though. Also english is not quite common there, whereas in Peru, Chile and Argentina in tourism english is common in Bolivia it… [cont.]
