    Whereabouts are you going? It's been 20 years since I went, so I don't know how much it might've changed. We found Rio dangerous (mugged twice on the bus - drivers in collusion with muggers) and only stayed a couple of days. Iguacu Falls is well worth a visit:

    Ouro Preto is gorgeous and has an abandoned goldmine; you go down on a large skateboard, basically, and can pan for gold. Quite a funky place with a lot of students:

    The train journey down to Curitiba is spectacular.

    The classic has to be:

    'Can you tell me the cheapest way from England to Scotland please?' :confused:
    Gone ... or have I?
