Buenoes Aires #1 City In Central & South America

[germano]

To me, the only 2 cities listed that actually belong on that list are Cusco and BA. Although I would not have ranked BA #1, but that is a matter of taste.

What is your #1? Santiago?

For what? To live? To visit?

Both - if you like to share it.

To visit, if I were to recommend it to a foreigner, my #1 would probably be Rio, but it is a matter of taste. I would certainly not live there for any money in the world.
To live, it would probably Londrina or Maringa , in Southern Brazil.

Cartagena's historic district is marvellous. What's shocking is that CN Traveler implies you should also visit the Ciudad Vieja - the only genuine attraction - presumably if you dare to venture outside the neo-Miami along the beach.

Valparaíso should easily make the top five.

I think Cartagena is really nice, but I don;t think it should make it to the top 5. Top 10, sure. But top 5, not really.

I think Valpo is a wonderful place and very unique. I find it very different from the rest of Chile (in a good way). But I am not sure if it should be in the top five in Central and South America.

It's arguable, but I'm very fond of it. It's certainly the most distinctive city in Chile, the closest counterpart to San Francisco that there is.

Very true. I almost always stay there when traveling to Chile because I like it that much. I just feel there is something missing to be in the top five in Central and South America.
