Teach English in Argentina, Chile, Colombia
If you like salsa, sun, and fun, Latin America is the place for you. You will not find the most lucrative contracts here but in return you will be treated to Latin America's rich culture, spicy foods, beautiful beaches, and exotic rainforests. Argentina is one Latin American country where Europeans and Americans can feel at ease and travel relatively inconspicuously. For cosmopolitan types, there's the elegant capital Buenos Aires. More adventurous Americans might enjoy the many incredible ski resorts in Chile. Check out the Chilean Andes, which boast the best snow in the Southern Hemisphere. Four of the top resorts are located right outside the Chilean capital of Santiago. Colombia's capital, Bogota, is also a place to visit as it lies at the base of a mountain range that includes the breathtaking shrine-topped peaks of Monserrate and Guadalupe.
