Hi Mark,

Your website has been a great help to me while planning my backpacking trip from Quito to Rio for 8 months starting on October 16th!

However, I was just wondering what is the best method to carry money around South America for such an amount of time? Obviously I don't want to carry all my cash round for 8 months but I'm struggling to find a debit/cash card that offers me good withdraw and exchange rates in South America...

Also are travellers cheques a good idea in South America?

Thanks for your help,

Ben
