Asian American female (or male) experiences traveling South America

Hi, I’m an Asian American female getting ready to do a solo trip for a month around Peru, Chile, and Argentina. Maybe Bolivia as well.

I wanted to see if any other Asians or Asian Americans have experience traveling to these countries and wanted to share their experiences whether positive or negative.

I just had my first trip to South America, to Colombia (Cartagena, Medellin, and Bogota) and found that people there were very friendly. Some were curious about my ethnicity but seemed happy to chat and learn about where I’m from. I was pleasantly surprised because of some experiences I’ve previously had in Europe where locals there could sometimes not grasp that I was American because I look Asian, or made vaguely racist comments/pulled their eyes back etc.

Thanks in advance for your input.
