Bolivia - 21 days| Airfare | Accom | Transport | Food | Activities | Fees | Internet | Souvenirs | Other | Total |
| $64 | $69 | $76 | $144 | $329 | $5 | $27 | $6 | $53 | 773 |
Bolivia turned out to be really cheap, dirt cheap in fact. My average accommodation costs are slightly screwed by dividing the total amount spent by 21 nights, whereas some nights (6 to be precise) were included in tour prices. Adjusted costs per night were $4.6.
For $329 spent on activities I got a 3-day jungle trip, 3 days in Pampas, 3 day Uyuni tour and a mine tour. Not bad at all.
Also appears I spent a lot of hours on internet :)
Chile - 2 days| Accom | Transport | Food | Activities | Internet | Souvenirs | Total |
I only spent two night in San Pedro de Atacama and I did not feel it was THAT expensive. Dorms for $10/night, food - $8-$10 per menu. Three short tours costs me $59, again reasonable for Chile. A $50 bus ride to Salta (Argentina) hiked the daily average up to $83.
Brazil - 19 days| Accom | Transport | Food | Activities | Visa | Internet | Souvenirs | Other | Total |
| $273 | $387 | $273 | $145 | $20 | $2 | $37 | $74 | $1,211 |
Even if a $64 average does not scream an EXPENSIVE country, I can assure you Brazil was the most expensive country I visited. On $64 a day I was lying on the beach, cooking at night for the first time on the trip, and trying to cut costs in all the ways possible. Obviously hostels are expensive - $14/night, or rather $17/night adjusted to 3 nights slept on buses. $145 spent on activities do not buy you much - just entrances to Sugar Loaf and Corcovado and a 3-hour boat ride. The killer category was transportation - I spent a whooping $387 ob busing within the country. I took a bus from the Bolivian border to Campo Grande, on to Sao Paulo, on to Rio, on to Foz de Iguacu. Expensive!
