Where in the world is this place?

[Dave T]

I have been to Chile and Brazil. Chile is somewhat orderly, sort of a mix between Germany and Italy. Brazil is a bit wild and slightly crime ridden, I believe. I have only been to Rio de Janiero in Brazil. I believe that Porto Alegre in the south is very White. Machu Picchu in Peru might be popular. If I had to pick some places in South America other than Chile and Rio, I might consider:

1. Iguazu Falls, Paraguay/Brazil/Argentina
2. Cuzco and Machu Picchi, Peru + Lake Titicaca, Bolivia
3. Montevideo, Uruguay
4. Barranquilla, Colombia
5. Asuncion, Paraguay

Paraguay is having an election soon. The front runner for President says he will break diplomatic relations with this country if elected.
