Visa Requirements in South America
South America is a piece of cake for British and most other citizens. No visas are required in any of the popular backpacking countries and despite some warnings about the need for onward/return tickets we never found this to be the case. Just turn up at the border, get stamped on both sides and enjoy the next part of your trip.
