I always want to travel around the Central, and South America. Since last week, I heard so many unstable events happening in South America, I have to delay my plan until it is stop or it is in peace. Ecuador is in a coup. Police and military are protesting and in a move of invade the central government. People are robbing stores and banks. Would you dare to visit that country this time. At Brazil, similar event might also on the progress too. I just can't imagine all these happening.

The problem is once you are in trouble in those countries, will the local government willing to help you out? You have to measure the risks once you been there. I just worry about they have handful of problems on their hands, and once a foreigner fall in a hand of their local rebellion force, what you going to do?

It is a terrible shame that that there is currently a coup in Ecuador. I wouldn't choose to visit a country that is experiencing civil unrest at the moment. I dream about sailing around the Galapagos Islands and seeing all the wildlife. I would love to visit Rio De Janeiro in Brazil in the future too. I will wait until these countries are safe. In the 1990s there was a war in ex Yugoslavia. I visited Croatia, Montenegro and Slovenia in 2003 and it is peaceful again. Times do change and a bad situation can change for the better. I really wish to visit South America as soon as I can manage to do so.
