I'm planning on touring these countries in six weeks and would like to get advices from experienced travelers on the followings: 1. Logistics on Lima to a town on the Brazilian's Amazon. 2. Logistics on Cuzco -La Paz, Bolivia. 3. Logistics on La Paz - a quiet and beautiful countryside of Chile. I don't particularly like city scenes or city life. 4. The best way to experience Argentina and Uruguay in one week or less. I will coming out of Los Angeles, CA and wish to know an optimized travel path and the involved logistics, i.e., flight segments, bus routes, stopovers, etc. Thank you very much!
Of course, you could always visit the Peruvian Amazon. Iquitos, Peru is the furthest point that large ships can travel upstream on the Amazon and is the largest city in the world that cannot be reached by road; you have to either fly in or take a boat. There are flights from Lima to Iquitos.

Thank you! That would allow me to skip Brazil all together. I'd appreciate any suggestions on Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina. Again, what I am looking for is something characteristically authentic about each of those countries, seen through landscape, people, and climate. I don't care much for noises of city scenes (parties and such), but love nature and historic sites. Thanks for your suggestions/advices.

There are also plans for international flights to come into Iquitos directly. By 'international' I mean from other points in SA, not necessarily from the US, Canada or Europe or Asia - but that may come in the future.

You don't say how much time you expect to be in Chile, but if you have time, your best choice for beautiful and quiet countryside is in the south of Chile. Valdivia, Puerto Varas, Villarrica, Pucón are small towns with luxurious vegetation, near the sea, rivers and lakes, and next to skiing venues. The countryside near Santiago is also quite beautiful but the vegetation is more sparse. You would have to trekk down to Chillán and Concepción, at least, to get your nose into interesting native forests. The Nahuelbuta area is known for its beauty, and all the shoreline along Concepción (the 8th Region).
