Hello again!
My Latin Life here to give you some insight into the cost of living in major cities throughout Latin America.
Using Expatistan, I’ve compared the cost of living between the most-searched-for big cities on my website to help you decide where to live or travel in Latin America.
Let the showdown begin!
Toward the end of my first jaunt around Latin America, my money started to run out.
I’ll admit it: I planned poorly.
I don’t want this to happen to you.
Below, I’ve made screenshots of typical flight prices between major Latin American cities. Keep in mind that these prices will vary depending on the strength of the dollar and the time of year, but it should still provide you with some context for planning your next trip.
I’d like to tell you a story.
Not a story in the Alice and Wonderland sense of the word, but rather a cautionary tale: a few words of warning for anyone wanting to travel or live in Latin America.

Let’s begin.

Arequipa, Peru. The country’s second biggest city after Lima. The city’s center is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, although it isn’t quite as impressive as many other of the World Heritage Sites in Latin America.
The eighth largest city in Colombia. It is nicknamed “The City of Parks,” boasting just under 200 of them. It is a main trading hub between Venezuela and Colombia, due to its location in the northeast of the country. A beautiful and safe city. Definitely worth a visit.
I know what you’re thinking.
Telenovelas, essentially Spanish/Portuguese-language soap operas, are for old ladies with too much time on their hands.
But I have a confession: I immensely enjoy them.
Not only are they great for learning Spanish, but they can also make for some high quality television.
