As a South American who understands the region, I have many things to say about this list, and it feels like the research put into this was null, focused on travel safety, and failed at that miserably.
Well said! Our continent cannot be seen just as a place where foreigners can come and cavort without any care for our people, culture and specificities.
Brazil is a continental country larger than all of Europe in territorial extension, with 27 very different states, Rio de Janeiro is just one city in the country, I am impressed how foreigners summarize the country as just one city.
There is a mayor earthquake in Chile about every 10 years. However the likehood of a tourist dying from one is 0. Because Chile is also the best prepared country for earthquakes in the world. If you build an structure in Chile and it does not tolerate an earthquake magnitud 9.5 you go to jail. That is the standard in Chile. Which translated to simple English: not a single brick will fall on your head. Never. (More people (old), die of a heart attack in an earthquake in Chile) In Florida, on the 24th of June of 2021, a building colapsed killing 98. There was not even a tremor. That is the standard in the USA. In 2016 there was a tremor magnitude 6,2 in Italy and it killed 290 people. In 2010 an earthquake 700 times more potent, (8,7 magnitude), happened in Chile it killed 245 people from the earthquake, and about 300 more from the tsunami. Because the authorities did not sound the alarm. Since then much stricter measures have ben taken. In average more people die from tornados in USA than from earthquakes in Chile.

This video did make a big mistake with Chile. It is one of the most seismic countries in the world, similar to Japan on that regard. We do suffer earthquakes and tsunamis, yet we are well prepared for them. This does cost a HUGE toll though on a poor country (compared to western powers) that is trying to develop among its means.
Yeah I grew up in Hawaii hearing that our tsunamis either come from Japan, Chile or Alaska. Around once every 40 years one comes from Chile and beats up the Hawaiian coast line
Chile has managed to create an infraestructure that is almost inmune to earthquakes. So to Chile earthquakes are no longer an issue worth to mention. The sunamis are not common because they need to fulfill a number of conditions to exist. There are mesures taken in Chile since the last one in 2010 which killed about 300 people mainly because the goverment failed to advise them correctly. Now having learnt that lesson it is highly unlikely that a sunami can affect Chile too much. Some other countries suffer from excesive rainfall, extreme high temperatures, toxic water, insect, animals and high corruption, which Chile is free from. So Chile despite the earthquakes and sporadic sunamis is still an excellent country, better than all of the others, except possibly Uruguay, and I say possibly because I am not convinced that Uruguay is better than Chile because Chile is much more technologically advanced than Uruguay. So life in Chile has potentially higher rewards.
Exactly… and Rio is not only crime. It’s the city with most foreign tourists not only for its beauty and attractions, but its best areas are among the most liveable in the continent… and has the most public streets in the country
Most of the rest of brazil is actually much worse than Rio, specially in terms of poverty. Even in terms of violence, Rio is far from the worst. People who are complaining about the ranking should be grateful. Normal brazil is absurdly violent and corrupt. Also widely very poor.
@@RedneckJoe Actually the top 10 cities within most homicides belongs to USA and Mexico by a fair amount, crazy, these people are accustomed with violence also? Brazil is still a development country, and some places in Brazil with large income disproportionality tends to be more violent, but still a lot safe place, and with most income per capita, than your city, crazy right?
Ive been to Brazil. Rio, Sao Paulo and Espirito Santo and i was in love with those places. Felt safe everywhere i ventured to. Cant wait to visit again soon.
This is not one of those "come to Brazil" comments, but I have to say you visited the worst part of Brazil, and should think of visiting the South or Northeast region.
I traveled extensively in Colombia in 2019. While it still has problems, it's very changed from the 1990s, when I visited it previously. With reasonable precautions, I usually felt safe. I would definitely rank it higher on this list, especially if you consider culture, lifestyle, scenery, climate, etc.
As someone who lives in Colombia, I will say that it highly depends on which part of the country you visit As a general rule, most of the eje cafetero, San Andres, Santa Marta, Cartagena, Barranquilla, and the richer parts of the main cities (Cali, Bogota, Medellin) are fairly safe to visit The districts of Arauca, Meta, Putumayo tend to not be very safe, even many of us natives would think about it twice before going there
I had Dutch and German friends visiting countries in South America recently and American friends having a great time in lesser-known areas in Brazil as Rio is indeed quite dangerous. They all said exactly the same as you. Be street-smart and well-informed that you're guaranteed to have a nice time. It's a pity we still have people who comfortably from their sofa and post loads of misinformation like this video on the web. @@jmca_power
@jim2376 have you ever actually been there?, I am a Colombian currently living in Colombia, the US travel advisory doesn't paint the full picture I suggest you check the UK foreign avice travel guide as it paints a better picture of safe zones and not safe zones within the country
For 2 years I’ve been enjoying fitness & nutrition in Medellín, and participating in the Estadio Olympica complex activities. Most of Medellín is safe provided you take normal precautions to avoid pickpockets. Normally I’m in my Airbnb after dark, or after dark with a svelte fit vetted girlfriend.

@@Gerard-Red Excuse me... Florida is NOT the United States. It is just a State within the country. And every State has its own regulation!!! Do not generalize!
Definitely if you talk about the best and worst countries in South America you should take into account more information such as the HDI GDP, GDP per capita and many more things. And with all that, Peru is in a better situation than Paraguay, Bolivia and Ecuador, and Colombia would be at the same level as Peru or even one place higher. Your video only talks about security, in which case your video should be called the safest and least safe countries in South America so as not to confuse people who don't know those countries.

Brazil is impossible to describe in a few words. The diversity of the cities and landscapes. I acknowledge that there are dangerous places in the country such as some places in California, Florida, London, Paris. The tourist has to be alert even in countries such as Switzerland, the danger doesn't announce when it comes.
It's everywhere the same. Just like the USA, Brazil is a Faderal State, with the same problems as the USA. Just like America, it also has the most stunning landscapes and breathtaking views. Been to both countries and I love them.

As an argentinian that travelled pretty much all the region, I can tell this isn’t accurate at all. Uruguay is pretty, yes, but it’s very unpopulated, most of their people go to Argentina looking for opportunities, specially artists and famous people, we have almost the same accent and traditions so we love each other. Chile is an incredible and beautiful country, but it has been stumbling for many years because of their politicians and geographically is very dangerous, although the people is amazing! I love chileans more than any other people in S. America. Brazil gotta be top 3 for sure!! the amount of land and culture in there it’s almost infinite, and it gotta be the happiest country in the region for sure! Colombia deserves to be in the top 3 as well, despite of insecurity, it has it all. Argentina should fight the first place with Brazil, and not only because I’m from there, but because the landscape it’s massively amazing, the food and wines too, people speaks in at least 5 very different accents, and their hospitality outside from Buenos Aires it’s amazing too (I’m talking about people that is willing to give free housing and food to travelers!). Also Peru gotta be fighting the podium with Colombia, its amount of native cultures, food and mystical places is just endless, the only problem is how expensive it is, due to all the rich travelers that visit the country.
I am Chilean and I have experienced 2 earthquakes here in Santiago of Chile: 1. In 1985, grade 7.5 approximately (me with my family (I was still a minor)). 2. In 2010, grade 8.8 (me living alone in an old house. I thought the walls of the house would fall on top of my head. I took a bottle with water, a flashlight and my ID card and I went inside under my table and pushed the chairs together until the earthquake ended). All Chileans are already used to this.
Chile holds the record. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the 1960 Valdivia Earthquake, also known as the Great Chilean Earthquake, is the strongest earthquake ever recorded. It hit the Valdivia town in southern Chile on May 22, 1960, and its magnitude was measured at 9.5. Freaking 9.5!
Just a dummy video, Colombia has a higher human development index than venezuela, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Paraguay. Its at the same level than Brasil in life quality. Also, Colombia took 5 million of tourists last year thats way over average of each latino nation.
I'm retired from the US in Colombia now for three years...and if you and your sources think for a hot second that the likes of Suriname, Guyana, Paraguay, and Peru are better on any level of comparison than Colombia, then you and your sources don't know Colombia, and I can assure you that many expats will lend very little credibility to your rankings and opinions.....Have a nice day..

I'm quite surprised by the ranking overall,however it's interesting too see Countries emerging as stronger,safer places to visit..Chile is a good example,considering it's volatile past.
Before those years it was a safe and good place too, albeit with a much less advanced economy. Historically Chile had never seen huge economical booms, unlike the whole rest of Latin America (speaking of important countries). It was a poor and humble nation that did advanced yet very slowly.
Volatile past for who, Leftist? 🤣 There are times when we all wished Leftist would be handed and put in their place the same way here in the U.S. They will be soon enough.
@@posteador That? Well, the coup d'état was orchestrated by Nixon and Kissinger. The only "volatile" thing we have is that mafia country called the USA, the biggest plague and pestilence since that last one called the UK.
He also forgot to mention that France has a territory known as "French Guiana". But it's cool that I didn't know an island called "South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands" existed.
Where is French Guiana? It's more important than the almost empty lands of Falkland, South Georgia, Sandwich islands. Hardly any people staying at the latter 3 islands
Argentina have serious inflation rate and Chile may have serious earthquake. So? Only Uruguay, Paraguay, French Guiana are OK for most common people! Suriname, Argentina and Venezuela also have serious inflation and depreciating currencies
*This video is completely false and wrong. Chile surpasses Uruguay in almost all development rankings, quality of life, HDI, IDHI, educational (PISA- universities- The Higher and QS), crime indices (Insight Crime), infrastructure, life expectancy, etc. The only thing that Uruguay stands out for is the democracy index. In fact, no one in Latin America emigrates to Uruguay simply because it is not an attractive country for immigrants in any sense. It is not in vain that the countries with the highest percentage of immigrants who "seek to make a living" on the American continent are the US, Chile and Canada. "Is Uruguay considered safe"? (**1:13**) Wf!! Uruguay has high crime rates for having such a small population (per 100 inhabitants - Insight Crime report 2018, 2019, 2020, 21, 22 and 2023). Chile has the best access and quality of public medical care in all of Latin America, according to the prestigious and specialist medical journal Lancet. And during the global Coronavirus pandemic, Chile was by far the best student of Latin America, congratulated and singled out by all international media, including the WHO. Chile has been leading the Pisa tests in Latin America for almost 12 years in a row, and in the results of the 2022-2023 period, it was no exception. Uruguay does not even have a university within the top 20 in South America (The Higher and QS) Regarding the Human Development Index, in the current UN report for the period 2022-2023, Chile is ranked No. 42 in the world (the best in Latin America). Uruguay is ranked No. 58 in the world. Even in the HDI adjusted for inequality, Chile is above Uruguay. Even more, Chile's IQ is the highest in all of Latin America according to studies by Richard Lynn and David Becker of the Ulster Institute ((let's now compare Chile's success in the Pisa Tests within Latin America; since these tests have been described as IQ tests (Rindermann 2007) because they are not tests of knowledge based on memorization, but rather tests of application of mathematical knowledge, application of language and reading comprehension, and application of science to specific cases)) About GDP Per Capita. According to the latest record of the World Bank, the first three places in Latin America are for Puerto Rico (1st), Panama (2nd) and Chile (3rd) and according to the latest records of the International Monetary Fund in 2023, the three First countries are: Panama (1st), Chile (2nd) and Uruguay (3rd) Even the Chilean national aeronautical industry (ENAER) repairs and reconditions the Uruguayan air force's planes. A country like Uruguay, immersed in a large water basin, and that does not have the diligence and technical means to provide drinking water to its capital, cannot be considered even among the 5 best countries in South America. (News widely spread in the media in mid-2023) Even in climates and landscapes, Chile is infinitely superior to Uruguay. "Uruguay also has the best of many tourist attractions on the continent"?? wf!! (**1:41**) Uruguay is a flat country with almost no natural tourist attractions: the (only) highest "mountain" in Uruguay is Cerro Catedral, 513 meters high. The coasts of Uruguay are flat, boring and uniform like the Argentine coasts. Uruguay is galaxies away from Chile: the country most visited by Hollywood stars and other personalities of world entertainment in terms of personal tourism and the great undisputed prelude to visiting Antarctica (last year a certain Sebastián Vettel, a certain Camila were here Hair, a certain Mr. Best, a certain Will Smith, a certain Lewis Hamilton, the son of a certain Rockefeller, the Weasley twins and Matthew Lewis from a saga called "Harry Potter"...) Even Barack Obama chose the Chilean Patagonia to make its Netflix series "Our Great National Parks", let's not even talk about the 9 consecutive trophies won by Chile in the adventure tourism category of the "World Travel Awards", the considered Oscars of World Tourism. From what book of poetry did you draw the conclusion that Uruguay is better than Chile??? No one with intellectual honesty and objectivity could seriously maintain that. Chile is overwhelmingly superior to Uruguay in every way, and I wouldn't be surprised if you were some Latin American (or Uruguayan) making videos from England or with a British VPN proxy, otherwise it's not understood*
I agree with our ranking with Uruguay and Argentina. I totally disagree with your listing of Brazil 🇧🇷. I lived in Buenos Aires Argentina for 10 years.
@@rahuliyer7456 ok name me one country where inflation and corruption is not a problem. The people of Argentina have figured out a way to deal with their inflation and their corruption. Anyone that goes to Argentina will not feel as though they are in a country in a financial crisis or begin tore apart by corruption. The value of real estate in Argentina has stayed constant and even gone up. I first went to Argentina in 2005 and you could find a house in a middle class Buenos Aires neighborhood for around 55,000 dollars US now in 2022 those houses cost 500,000 dollars US. I purchased a home in 2009 in Mar Del Plata for around 40,000 dollars US now houses cost 300,000 US dollars and up. Also Argentina has a good saftey net for its citizens to help with inflation like food subsidies, universal health care coverage free college education they even help with home purchases.

@@RedneckJoe Actually, most of Brazil is inequal, there's very poor peolpe but still a lot rich peolpe, even more than your whole generation, crazy. And a lot of dangerous and safer places, strange.
@@alexandrealencarm8772 it is true that there are incredibly rich brazilians, undoubtedly. Due to brazil sheer size and population, this number is pretty high, but again, this is, by no means, a sign of overall prosperity. The economy is strangled by a bloodthirsty taxation system and an enormous draconian bureaucracy, making it very hard for the average brazilian to thrive. Small cities can’t develop and even the criminals don’t care about them due to their overall poverty. So safer places aren’t safe for great reasons.
@@RedneckJoe Exactly, there's a lot of inequality in the country, that is the main problem in Brazil, and these aren't divided in small or big cities, there's a lot small cities with a higher HDI, income per capita, a higher life expectancy etc... There's some poor regions in the north of the country and in some big cities like Rio, with favelas, which is practically a concentration of poor people, which leads to a greater number of crimes, and these crimes aren't spread across the country but concentrated in these poorer regions.
@@alexandrealencarm8772 obviously that there are extremely rich cities in brazil with amazing HDI. My point is that there only just a handful of those, proportionally to the size of brazil, compared to, for instance, the top 50 richest countries in the world. This happens, as I already said, to bad governance, corruption and structural misdeeds from the government. My point here is that the crime rate is low on small cities is only because most of them are really poor and insignificant for organized crime. What could be seen as a problem, in a context of the violent brazilian reality, being poor and small might be a blessing in disguise.

Could you share the KPIs and sources you used for this list? As a local I cannot understand the ranking made, it seems that it was made quite randomly without clear numbers and maybe as a personal opinion about news you find in Facebook...
Some corrections: 1) uruguay is not the safest place in south america when it comes to security that place belong to chile followed by argentina the security in uruguay is just standard. 2) natural disasters aren't uncommon in chile literally the country is inside the ring of fire wich is where most of the earthquakes comes from not only that but also tsunamis and lots of vulcanoes. 3) the cost of living in chile is very expensive in education and healthcare to the point chileans often crosses the border with argentina to have free healthcare or study for free in the argentinian universities wich ranks higher than the chilean universities worldwide. 4) the chilean government is corrupt as any other government in the world just look at the scandals their president piñera was involved like the pandora papers or some minery frauds.

Brazil is not just Rio de Janeiro my friend, there are tons of safe places in Brazil much more safer than lots of cities in the USA, go see for instance a city like balneário Camboriú where people like Cristiano Ronaldo and the rulers of the United Arab Emirates are getting apartments on and tell me that we are not supposed to be higher on the list. He maid Brazil sound so unsafe, but I’ve traveled to 17 states of the country and never got robbed, never got harmed, never even had the feeling I was going to get in a dangerous situation. I’d highly recommend you to go visit Brazil if you don’t believe me, our doors are open and we treat guests like kings.
Rio is far from the worst place in brazil in terms of violence. If they showed the real numbers in terms of violence, brazil would be the last. The death per capita rate is worse than Yemen, a country that is in civil war for years. The problem is that brazilians, sadly, got way too much accustomed with violence and corruption to the point of finding it normal or even tolerable. So they are shocked when discover foreigners find it to be absurd.

@@alexandrealencarm8772 brazilian crime very difficult to analyze accurately. There are several unreported cases and corruption on the police forces that artificially lower the numbers. Things here are very likely to be incredibly worse than those reports. We can’t compare with the accuracy of USA.

Small cities in brazil might be safer, but they are usually very poor with low quality services, infra structure and with federal sponsored economy, which make those cities dependent of the big one’s taxation.
@@Dah42 (lived in both for three years each... ) 1. Colombia is far easier to get to, particularly from the US. Bogota is a short flight from Miami or Atlanta. ASU was always a pain in the ass to go to, mostly going through GRU. 2. Colombia has beaches. 3. Colombia, now, is safer than it was. Bogota, Medellin are not really any more dangerous than Sao Paulo, Rio, Buenos Aires, any other big city. The really dangerous sports are the middle of nowhere where tourists are not at all likely to be. 4. Colombia has better infrastructure for tourists. Flights. Buses. Easy enough that with my crap Spanish I could plan a getaway from Bogota to another airport then bus to a place like Jardin or Salento. Paraguay has almost nothing for tourists. Even in ASU was rare to hear English outside my local friend group. Heard it more from random people on my last couple trips back. Had just 2-3 trips in country, most our time doing adventures involved going somewhere else. 5. Colombia just has more going on for tourists to see and do. Paraguay doesn't have much comparatively, and nothing that sticks out like Cartagena, Salento, San Andres of some of the stuff other countries have to attract visitors. While it seems I'm being hard on PY, I'm just typing what I've experienced as a gringo from my perspective in both. Still in regular talk with my Paraguayan friends, we exchange WhatsApps every couple days, sending craft beer pics, or them responding to my food pics with pics of their asado. Living there was difficult at times, but my friends made it a home in a way Bogota/Colombia never was. If I was going to recommend somewhere for a friend to visit in South America, I'd pick Colombia over Paraguay probably 19 times out of 20. If I were to back to one of the two, I'd pick Paraguay 19 times out of 20.
What criteria do you use to define what is "best" and what is "worst"?? When talking about "best country" you should use some health, education, labor and economic Indicators such as inflation and financial responsibility. Also take into account rankings of best universities, infrastructure, international investment and legal security. That way you would have a very different ranking with Brazil and Colombia in the top 5 and probably Argentina and Ecuador down to the 6th place and 7th place.
For me in everything ended would be like this the top 1. 🇨🇱 2. 🇺🇾 3. 🇧🇷 4. 🇦🇷 5. 🇵🇪 6. 🇨🇴 7. 🇵🇾 8. 🇬🇾 9. 🇪🇨 10. 🇸🇷 11. 🇧🇴 12. 🇻🇪 I am from South America and I know very well my region and its political, economic, etc.

Kindly title properly your videos next time. What a heck you did here? How come you put countries such Bolívia and Paraguay for such higher position? You just showed jungle and Rio images from Brazil while thousands of Latin workers come to São Paulo to work especially on finance. Seems like you only ranked based on security, although, the criminality in Peru and Paraguay is way higher than Brazil or Colombia. Completely stereotyped video.
Chile is one of the most seismically active countries in the world due to its location along the Ring of Fire. so to say that natural disasters are uncommon is ridiculous.
There is a mayor earthquake in Chile about every 10 years. However the likehood of a tourist dying from one is 0. Because Chile is also the best prepared country for earthquakes in the world. If you build an structure in Chile and it does not tolerate an earthquake magnitud 9.5 you go to jail. That is the standard in Chile. Which translated to simple English: not a single brick will fall on your head. Never. (More people (old), die of a heart attack in an earthquake in Chile) In Florida, on the 24th of June of 2021, a building colapsed killing 98. There was not even a tremor. That is the standard in the USA. In 2016 there was a tremor magnitude 6,2 in Italy and it killed 290 people. In 2010 an earthquake 700 times more potent, (8,7 magnitude), happened in Chile it killed 245 people from the earthquake, and about 300 more from the tsunami. Because the authorities did not sound the alarm. Since then much stricter measures have ben taken. In average more people die from tornados in USA than from earthquakes in Chile.
I was surprised to hear, Argentina, at #3. Now inflation is over 160%. Half of the population, lives below the poverty line. I've only been to Bolivia, which was the poorest country, when I went, yet wasn't too bad.
"I was surprised to hear, Argentina, at #3." Ditto. However, the list is a year old. That said, Argentina's economy has been in the toilet for quite some time. Let's see what Milei can do. I'm not optimistic.

@@riazedn4728 The topic was actually the fact that the Falkland Islands WERE mentioned in the video while French Guiana wasn't (even though both of these are territories of a European country). It would make sense to either exclude both or to include both, but mentioning only one of them and ignoring the other doesn't make much sense (especially when French Guiana is actually a lot more relevant for the video than the Falklands).

Your video is misleading and very inaccurate. The information provided is either opinion-based or completely taken out of context. In order to accurately rank these countries you'd have to factor in real statistical data (such as the ones mentioned by many comments below), and have a fair comparison, since countries like Brazil are 2/3x bigger than most other countries in the list, having a lot more to consider than simply a beautiful, but overrated city.
Chile and Brazil are the best countries in south america, you are uninformed, you certainly don't know south america, read this information on the internet

No way... so many Brazilians and Argentines are migrating to Paraguay. Brasil is so unsafe and expensive! Argentina is in economic turmoil! Uruguay is expensive.
I was surprised, because I life in Suriname. Finding my country on the 8th spot, higher than Brazil, Guyana, Colombia and Venezuela gave me a feeling of pride.
Is because suriname have 600.000 people and few territory with few cities. Its easy to fell safe, and living relaxed (what this list was about) than in Brazil. Brazil is a big big country with a big population, not everybody can live good, you know? Venezuela has the best oil reserve but also their government is shit, that also have influence in this list
You are right. The Surinamese population lives mostly in the coastline. I've studied for two years in Brazil and it is an enourmous country, almost 60 times the size of Suriname. @@venetinto691
My way: 1) Uruguay 7.9/10 2) Chile 7.2/10 3) Suriname 6.5/10 4) Paraguay 6.3/10 5) Bolivia 6.2/10 (In any moment it can suddenly fall to 10th place) 6) Ecuador 5.4/10 7) Guyana 4.8/10 8) Brazil 4.4/10 (In danger) 9) Colombia 4.4/10 (Improving) 10) Peru 3.9/10 (Downhill) 11) Argentina 3.8/10 (It halted for now) 12) Venezuela 2.3/10 (Possibly improving)
Little calculation of how it would be in i dont care how much time if countries stayed in the same pace (Possibly wrong) : 1) Uruguay 9.7/10 2) Suriname 7.2/10 3) Paraguay 6.2/10 4) Venezuela 5.8/10 5) Ecuador 5.3/10 6) Chile 4.9/10 7) Guyana 4.2/10 8) Peru 3.5/10 9) Colombia: 2.7/10 10) Bolivia: 1.4/10 11) Brazil: 1.1/10 12) Argentina : 0.3/10
Brazil has me tran 5.000 cities and a large coast of more than 7.000 kilomerers of extension, the city of Rio de Janeiro is not reference for that wonderfull country, there places much security to visite and so beautifull as well.
I am a southern Brazilian from the border region. Always loved Uruguay as one of my great grandfathers was from Tacuarembó, and we used to spend great vacations there. Nice people, good security etc; not sure how are employment opportunities there now (haven't visited for quite a while). Still have a project of buying a chacra in Rocha or Maldonado and spend time there upon retiring (maybe breed horses, sheep, bovine cattle etc...back to my origins). Love Chile as well, I hope their current socialist government is not doing as bad as the one in Brazil. Unfortunately our good path was interrupted by a failed electoral system and institutional instability is a fact. Lots of investors are now closing their businesses and moving to Uruguay, Panama, Paraguay, USA etc... Paraguay might be a good investment if one is young, especially if the 2-oceans way project becomes a reality (it will link the Port of Santos, in Brazil, to the ports of Antofagasta and Iquique in Chile via Paraguay and Northern Argentina).
Don't believe this lunatic! He's like Trumpists accusing the American elections of fraud. It's always the same rhetoric! These types of people live off fake news!
referring to better or worse, a matter of relativity! each person has their own way of choosing. It depends on your likes, needs and opinion. Greethings from 🇧🇷
"natural disasters are uncommon here" says the guy about the country with the highest ever recorded earthquake in history. They had like 10 medium quakes between 4 and 5 on Richter just in the last 7 days alone.
Safety is very important but it isn’t everything and it is also subjective. Uruguay may be overall safer but it’s also not as diverse, warm, pretty, developed and industrialized as Brasil for example. Safety depends on the region in each country and huge countries tend to be less safe in general due to huge populations but they also have very safe regions within them.
Brazilians, sadly, usually don’t know how important and vital safety is, because they have never seen a true safe place. It is a country where people got accustomed to living in danger, surrounded by poverty and corruption. This is a very bad way to live your life. If most brazilians could experience true safety and a civilized condition for a while, they would rather drastically change the country or move out.
@@RedneckJoe I have been to safe places such as Australia and I would say even though Brazil has a high criminality rate, there are places way safer than many foreigners would think of to live here. Places like Joao Pessoa, Cabo Frio, where I live, Londrina, etc, many smaller towns where it's possible to have a normal life. I'm 48 years old and have always lived in Brazil. I've never been robbed here.
This is the type of videos where you see it was made in 10 minutes without reseraching nor investigation a bit further, The video is completely wrong. Despite the economical situation or gover *Chile is on the top 3 countries with natural disasters in the world. In fact is the most seismic country in the world *Argentina along with Venezuela are the two most hiper inflated countries in the world. *Colombia, Peru and Ecuador are in the top 5 most visited countries in south america. *Guyana on average of population is the country with more roberies.
Paraguay , Argentina , BOLIVIA ?ahead of Brazil? friend, studying is so good... Brazil is a reference in every way in South America and also Latin America! the people of the countries that you supposedly call yourself the best, come to Brazil to get many things that their own country doesn't provide them! if you don't know, you don't have the power of opinion!
Everyone has the power of opinion. If nobody did, i would not see hundreds of comments of brazilians saying to never go there or atleast to never go to Rio de Janeiro.
Isso aí se chama inveja, não não é por menos. Sabe quando se olha aquele vizinho rico e talentoso por natureza,.sabendo que você nunca será como ele? Pois é.kkkkk
@conker bad day No, it's not a country... It's part of the EU and is more similar to Puerto Rico for the US o Tristan da Cunha for the British than to a country
Every country has its own set of problems and strengths. Using a ranking system that simply lists countries from "best to worst" is not only imprecise and inadequate, but also frivolous and lacking in credibility. It is impossible to take such a generic and amateur approach seriously when considering the complexities of each country.
It's difficult compare Brasil with our neigbhors, because the country has so different places, culture, economic situations. Tourism in São Paulo is by far more interesting than whole Uruguay, not to say about business tourism, but only the beaches would be enough. Also, São Paulo has low rates of criminality. Then you have Amazon, Foz do Iguaçu, Pantanal, Lençóis Maranhenses, and so many safe places. It's very unlikely to see a crime in a tourist area, even in Rio.
@@DanielTaddone A última que eu vi foi 8.4 homicídios por 100 mil, por incrível que pareça a melhor do Brasil mas bem longe do ideal. Sem contar que os assaltos e latrocínios registraram aumentos nos últimos anos.
Brazil is half of South america in many ways. If you add all south american countries except brazil, you'll find almost the same numbers when it comes to HDI, GDP, GDP Per Capita, Population and Land Area. This marks an interesting phenomenon of statistics where you ought to understand the limitations of numbers to understand what they mean. In this instance, you have a lot to lose when you summarize a country the size of Brazil by single numbers (that is why people invented variance). You see, these numbers dont actually show how the real world actually is. If you take your time a travel to anywhere in the state of São Paulo and then go to anywhere in Argentina, you'll notice that SP is much more developed and economically stable. Inside of Brazil you have cities with both 0,418 HDI and 0,862 HDI. The difference is quite big from region to region, state to state, city to city and neighbourhood to Neighbourhood.. Once again, you have neighbourhoods with the hdi of 0,962 and beyond but their bordering neighbourhood could have the hdi of 0,750's. Anyways, a fairer list would compare brazilian states with other SA countries, but it would take much more time so its usually more feasible to reduce a country the size of a continent to single numbers (understanding time is another statistical challenge). For that reason, its important to understand the goals of your studies and what do you want to achieve with it. In this case, why are we comparing countries? Do we want to understand the living conditions of the people in these places? If so, i'd be better to fragment Brazil to avoid losing so much data. Finally, even if you fragment Brazil we could not call it entirelly fair because even those states, of which have really nice living conditions (compared with the world), gets their taxes divided between other states, which is something that created the so called "Unsustainable cities of the northeast of Brazil", but that is a different interesting topic. I'd like to add that it even though you cant have a perfect comparison, understanding how to balance it could not be more of a scientific process, which is what makes things really cool.
This has not aged well. Ecuador is now one of the most dangerous and Argentina is a disaster financially. Peru has thrived. I am an American expat living here in Peru for seventeen years now!!! Friendly people. Great climate and excellent fresh food.
THIS IS LITTERY THE WORST LIST I EVER SAW IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. Brazil worse than BOLÍVIA ? EQUADOR? SURINAME? I mean, wtf ??? Brazil is a continent size country. U r not comparing equivalent things. São Paulo, a single city in Brazil, has more than 3 times the population of all Uruguay. Its absolutely clear that this guy took has no idea what he’s talking about. This vídeo is from 2022, and he’s saying that Argentina had no polictal crises at that time?? I mean, Argentina was and still is in its major polictal crises maybe in its entire history. What the hell! Seriously…
200 thousand people watched this vídeo so far… for u watching this. Im from south america, i’m from Brasil, and i’ve been to Chile, Argentina, and other countries.. this list does not reflects reality AT ALL.
One that I was curious about that didn't even gain mention was French Guiana. My cousin once spent a week in Cayenne and visited beaches and had fun and was undisturbed.
She went there and spent which valuta? Yes EU €€. So that means that it is an autonomous part of France in South America, that is why they also are a part of South America, otherwise FG would be the smallest country in SA
Was this video generated by AI? Pronouncing Suriname as Surinami? Other videos on this channel seem AI generated also. This is a disturbing trend on UA-cam.
I think it depends on what you value the most safety, economy, nature, people but as a person who lives in this continent my list would be: 1 brazil : a lot of potential but huge inequality 2 Uruguay : only love for this country South American hidden gem 3 chile : because of its economy 4 Colombia: beautiful people, very fun country, nature but there’s still safety issues 5 Peru: another beautiful country, political inestability 6 Argentina: economy has serious problems right now 7 Bolivia: it’s a nice country but it’s kinda boring 8 paraguay : economy is growing but it’s kind of boring compared to other contries 9 guyanas : … 10 hell 11 Venezuela :staying in hell is better right now
I mean before moving to the us Venezuela was a little okay(doesn't mean it was good at all but I was just...okay..) but now it's a living hell.good thing we moved,but i still feel sad cause i still have many family and friends there.
Argentina, Venezuela and Suriname have very unstable currencies, high inflation, big items like cars etc are priced in USD, not local currencies. Arge peso, Vene.bolivar, Suri. dollars lose value very fast
As a South American who understands the region, I have many things to say about this list, and it feels like the research put into this was null, focused on travel safety, and failed at that miserably.
Concuerdo
Well said! Our continent cannot be seen just as a place where foreigners can come and cavort without any care for our people, culture and specificities.
It's done to homosseual tourism, I reported the video.

AI made this video.
This video did make a big mistake with Chile. It is one of the most seismic countries in the world, similar to Japan on that regard.
We do suffer earthquakes and tsunamis, yet we are well prepared for them. This does cost a HUGE toll though on a poor country (compared to western powers) that is trying to develop among its means.
Uruguay si the best
Yeah I grew up in Hawaii hearing that our tsunamis either come from Japan, Chile or Alaska. Around once every 40 years one comes from Chile and beats up the Hawaiian coast line
Chile has managed to create an infraestructure that is almost inmune to earthquakes. So to Chile earthquakes are no longer an issue worth to mention. The sunamis are not common because they need to fulfill a number of conditions to exist. There are mesures taken in Chile since the last one in 2010 which killed about 300 people mainly because the goverment failed to advise them correctly. Now having learnt that lesson it is highly unlikely that a sunami can affect Chile too much.
Some other countries suffer from excesive rainfall, extreme high temperatures, toxic water, insect, animals and high corruption, which Chile is free from.
So Chile despite the earthquakes and sporadic sunamis is still an excellent country, better than all of the others, except possibly Uruguay, and I say possibly because I am not convinced that Uruguay is better than Chile because Chile is much more technologically advanced than Uruguay. So life in Chile has potentially higher rewards.
Earthquakes in Chile are caused by General Pinochets farts.
He's been dead for years but the old fart can still vent his disapproval!
As we Chileans say... it is not a real earthquake if it doesn't cause a blackout xD

I traveled extensively in Colombia in 2019. While it still has problems, it's very changed from the 1990s, when I visited it previously. With reasonable precautions, I usually felt safe. I would definitely rank it higher on this list, especially if you consider culture, lifestyle, scenery, climate, etc.
As someone who lives in Colombia, I will say that it highly depends on which part of the country you visit
As a general rule, most of the eje cafetero, San Andres, Santa Marta, Cartagena, Barranquilla, and the richer parts of the main cities (Cali, Bogota, Medellin) are fairly safe to visit
The districts of Arauca, Meta, Putumayo tend to not be very safe, even many of us natives would think about it twice before going there

It's everywhere the same. Just like the USA, Brazil is a Faderal State, with the same problems as the USA. Just like America, it also has the most stunning landscapes and breathtaking views. Been to both countries and I love them.

The images selected for Brazil are absolutely ridiculous!
Colombia under Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru. I need to know which you took into account when making the top
Colombia is always under Peru
As an argentinian that travelled pretty much all the region, I can tell this isn’t accurate at all. Uruguay is pretty, yes, but it’s very unpopulated, most of their people go to Argentina looking for opportunities, specially artists and famous people, we have almost the same accent and traditions so we love each other. Chile is an incredible and beautiful country, but it has been stumbling for many years because of their politicians and geographically is very dangerous, although the people is amazing! I love chileans more than any other people in S. America. Brazil gotta be top 3 for sure!! the amount of land and culture in there it’s almost infinite, and it gotta be the happiest country in the region for sure! Colombia deserves to be in the top 3 as well, despite of insecurity, it has it all. Argentina should fight the first place with Brazil, and not only because I’m from there, but because the landscape it’s massively amazing, the food and wines too, people speaks in at least 5 very different accents, and their hospitality outside from Buenos Aires it’s amazing too (I’m talking about people that is willing to give free housing and food to travelers!). Also Peru gotta be fighting the podium with Colombia, its amount of native cultures, food and mystical places is just endless, the only problem is how expensive it is, due to all the rich travelers that visit the country.

I am Chilean and I have experienced 2 earthquakes here in Santiago of Chile:
1. In 1985, grade 7.5 approximately (me with my family (I was still a minor)).
2. In 2010, grade 8.8 (me living alone in an old house. I thought the walls of the house would fall on top of my head. I took a bottle with water, a flashlight and my ID card and I went inside under my table and pushed the chairs together until the earthquake ended). All Chileans are already used to this.
es verdad ya es costumbre
Chile holds the record. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the 1960 Valdivia Earthquake, also known as the Great Chilean Earthquake, is the strongest earthquake ever recorded. It hit the Valdivia town in southern Chile on May 22, 1960, and its magnitude was measured at 9.5. Freaking 9.5!
You completely ruined the ranking putting Paraguay and Bolivia above Peru. That is seriously misleading.
Exactly
Aaand i bet your peruvian

No compares esa isla mediocre (llamada peru) con Paraguay.
More than misleading I'd say it's pathetic, especially how Bolivia ranked above Brazil...
Suprised that Colombia is at the bottom cause it was the 1st South American Country i visited and i stayed in the capital and it was quite safe
Just a dummy video, Colombia has a higher human development index than venezuela, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Paraguay. Its at the same level than Brasil in life quality. Also, Colombia took 5 million of tourists last year thats way over average of each latino nation.
As a colombian, no. There's a war between mafias in the country, the state, the institutions, police, people in general is corruption everywhere
Congratulations Uruguay 🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾. Not surprised at all that you top the list
I'm retired from the US in Colombia now for three years...and if you and your sources think for a hot second that the likes of Suriname, Guyana, Paraguay, and Peru are better on any level of comparison than Colombia, then you and your sources don't know Colombia, and I can assure you that many expats will lend very little credibility to your rankings and opinions.....Have a nice day..
Due to safety and peace index they are. Those big latin countries have much more crime rates than the smaller one
This video should be called ranking South America in terms of safety... Bolivia ranking as a better place than Brazil and Colombia is just ridiculous.

I'm quite surprised by the ranking overall,however it's interesting too see Countries emerging as stronger,safer places to visit..Chile is a good example,considering it's volatile past.
Before those years it was a safe and good place too, albeit with a much less advanced economy.
Historically Chile had never seen huge economical booms, unlike the whole rest of Latin America (speaking of important countries).
It was a poor and humble nation that did advanced yet very slowly.
Volatile past for who, Leftist? 🤣

Suriname, Argentina and Venezuela also have serious inflation and depreciating currencies
*This video is completely false and wrong. Chile surpasses Uruguay in almost all development rankings, quality of life, HDI, IDHI, educational (PISA- universities- The Higher and QS), crime indices (Insight Crime), infrastructure, life expectancy, etc. The only thing that Uruguay stands out for is the democracy index. In fact, no one in Latin America emigrates to Uruguay simply because it is not an attractive country for immigrants in any sense. It is not in vain that the countries with the highest percentage of immigrants who "seek to make a living" on the American continent are the US, Chile and Canada. "Is Uruguay considered safe"? (**1:13**) Wf!! Uruguay has high crime rates for having such a small population (per 100 inhabitants - Insight Crime report 2018, 2019, 2020, 21, 22 and 2023). Chile has the best access and quality of public medical care in all of Latin America, according to the prestigious and specialist medical journal Lancet. And during the global Coronavirus pandemic, Chile was by far the best student of Latin America, congratulated and singled out by all international media, including the WHO. Chile has been leading the Pisa tests in Latin America for almost 12 years in a row, and in the results of the 2022-2023 period, it was no exception. Uruguay does not even have a university within the top 20 in South America (The Higher and QS) Regarding the Human Development Index, in the current UN report for the period 2022-2023, Chile is ranked No. 42 in the world (the best in Latin America). Uruguay is ranked No. 58 in the world. Even in the HDI adjusted for inequality, Chile is above Uruguay. Even more, Chile's IQ is the highest in all of Latin America according to studies by Richard Lynn and David Becker of the Ulster Institute ((let's now compare Chile's success in the Pisa Tests within Latin America; since these tests have been described as IQ tests (Rindermann 2007) because they are not tests of knowledge based on memorization, but rather tests of application of mathematical knowledge, application of language and reading comprehension, and application of science to specific cases)) About GDP Per Capita. According to the latest record of the World Bank, the first three places in Latin America are for Puerto Rico (1st), Panama (2nd) and Chile (3rd) and according to the latest records of the International Monetary Fund in 2023, the three First countries are: Panama (1st), Chile (2nd) and Uruguay (3rd) Even the Chilean national aeronautical industry (ENAER) repairs and reconditions the Uruguayan air force's planes. A country like Uruguay, immersed in a large water basin, and that does not have the diligence and technical means to provide drinking water to its capital, cannot be considered even among the 5 best countries in South America. (News widely spread in the media in mid-2023) Even in climates and landscapes, Chile is infinitely superior to Uruguay. "Uruguay also has the best of many tourist attractions on the continent"?? wf!! (**1:41**) Uruguay is a flat country with almost no natural tourist attractions: the (only) highest "mountain" in Uruguay is Cerro Catedral, 513 meters high. The coasts of Uruguay are flat, boring and uniform like the Argentine coasts. Uruguay is galaxies away from Chile: the country most visited by Hollywood stars and other personalities of world entertainment in terms of personal tourism and the great undisputed prelude to visiting Antarctica (last year a certain Sebastián Vettel, a certain Camila were here Hair, a certain Mr. Best, a certain Will Smith, a certain Lewis Hamilton, the son of a certain Rockefeller, the Weasley twins and Matthew Lewis from a saga called "Harry Potter"...) Even Barack Obama chose the Chilean Patagonia to make its Netflix series "Our Great National Parks", let's not even talk about the 9 consecutive trophies won by Chile in the adventure tourism category of the "World Travel Awards", the considered Oscars of World Tourism. From what book of poetry did you draw the conclusion that Uruguay is better than Chile??? No one with intellectual honesty and objectivity could seriously maintain that. Chile is overwhelmingly superior to Uruguay in every way, and I wouldn't be surprised if you were some Latin American (or Uruguayan) making videos from England or with a British VPN proxy, otherwise it's not understood*
I agree with our ranking with Uruguay and Argentina. I totally disagree with your listing of Brazil 🇧🇷. I lived in Buenos Aires Argentina for 10 years.
Regarding Argentina, I like the place. Good culture. The main issues though are inflation and corruption. That is what I see.
@@rahuliyer7456 ok name me one country where inflation and corruption is not a problem. The people of Argentina have figured out a way to deal with their inflation and their corruption. Anyone that goes to Argentina will not feel as though they are in a country in a financial crisis or begin tore apart by corruption. The value of real estate in Argentina has stayed constant and even gone up. I first went to Argentina in 2005 and you could find a house in a middle class Buenos Aires neighborhood for around 55,000 dollars US now in 2022 those houses cost 500,000 dollars US. I purchased a home in 2009 in Mar Del Plata for around 40,000 dollars US now houses cost 300,000 US dollars and up. Also Argentina has a good saftey net for its citizens to help with inflation like food subsidies, universal health care coverage free college education they even help with home purchases.
I guess the inflation of the dollar is also big.@@markrush2319
Is this a joke? The screenwriter mentioned random countries, without the slightest idea of what he is talking about. The only truth is Uruguay in first place.
Brazil is not homogeneous as people think, therefore it's very difficult to rank it.
The problem is that most of brazil is very very poor and violent.
@@RedneckJoe Actually, most of Brazil is inequal, there's very poor peolpe but still a lot rich peolpe, even more than your whole generation, crazy. And a lot of dangerous and safer places, strange.
@@alexandrealencarm8772 it is true that there are incredibly rich brazilians, undoubtedly. Due to brazil sheer size and population, this number is pretty high, but again, this is, by no means, a sign of overall prosperity. The economy is strangled by a bloodthirsty taxation system and an enormous draconian bureaucracy, making it very hard for the average brazilian to thrive. Small cities can’t develop and even the criminals don’t care about them due to their overall poverty. So safer places aren’t safe for great reasons.
@@RedneckJoe Exactly, there's a lot of inequality in the country, that is the main problem in Brazil, and these aren't divided in small or big cities, there's a lot small cities with a higher HDI, income per capita, a higher life expectancy etc... There's some poor regions in the north of the country and in some big cities like Rio, with favelas, which is practically a concentration of poor people, which leads to a greater number of crimes, and these crimes aren't spread across the country but concentrated in these poorer regions.
@@alexandrealencarm8772 obviously that there are extremely rich cities in brazil with amazing HDI. My point is that there only just a handful of those, proportionally to the size of brazil, compared to, for instance, the top 50 richest countries in the world. This happens, as I already said, to bad governance, corruption and structural misdeeds from the government. My point here is that the crime rate is low on small cities is only because most of them are really poor and insignificant for organized crime. What could be seen as a problem, in a context of the violent brazilian reality, being poor and small might be a blessing in disguise.

Could you share the KPIs and sources you used for this list? As a local I cannot understand the ranking made, it seems that it was made quite randomly without clear numbers and maybe as a personal opinion about news you find in Facebook...
Some corrections:
1) uruguay is not the safest place in south america when it comes to security that place belong to chile followed by argentina the security in uruguay is just standard.
2) natural disasters aren't uncommon in chile literally the country is inside the ring of fire wich is where most of the earthquakes comes from not only that but also tsunamis and lots of vulcanoes.
3) the cost of living in chile is very expensive in education and healthcare to the point chileans often crosses the border with argentina to have free healthcare or study for free in the argentinian universities wich ranks higher than the chilean universities worldwide.
4) the chilean government is corrupt as any other government in the world just look at the scandals their president piñera was involved like the pandora papers or some minery frauds.

Brazil is not just Rio de Janeiro my friend, there are tons of safe places in Brazil much more safer than lots of cities in the USA, go see for instance a city like balneário Camboriú where people like Cristiano Ronaldo and the rulers of the United Arab Emirates are getting apartments on and tell me that we are not supposed to be higher on the list. He maid Brazil sound so unsafe, but I’ve traveled to 17 states of the country and never got robbed, never got harmed, never even had the feeling I was going to get in a dangerous situation. I’d highly recommend you to go visit Brazil if you don’t believe me, our doors are open and we treat guests like kings.
I live in Brazil, all the provinces have a lot of crime, Balneário Camboriú is a tourist city, and yet it is full of thieves, especially in Praia!
And even Rio is not just crime… its the most visited by foreign tourists because it offers the most public life
Rio is far from the worst place in brazil in terms of violence. If they showed the real numbers in terms of violence, brazil would be the last. The death per capita rate is worse than Yemen, a country that is in civil war for years. The problem is that brazilians, sadly, got way too much accustomed with violence and corruption to the point of finding it normal or even tolerable. So they are shocked when discover foreigners find it to be absurd.
@@RedneckJoe Still Rio is not on the top 10 or 20 with most homicide in the Americas, the title belongs to USA and Mexico, strange right, Rio is not the most dangerous cities in Brazil, sadly, there's poorest region, with higher criminally, but Brazil still have cities safer than most capitals in europe, strange right? Maybe because the discrepancy in capita? One whole Contry is not a city, simple.
@@alexandrealencarm8772 brazilian crime very difficult to analyze accurately. There are several unreported cases and corruption on the police forces that artificially lower the numbers. Things here are very likely to be incredibly worse than those reports. We can’t compare with the accuracy of USA. Mexico may suffer from the very same problem and the condition there is probably also much worse. Small cities in brazil might be safer, but they are usually very poor with low quality services, infra structure and with federal sponsored economy, which make those cities dependent of the big one’s taxation.
I would never have thought Paraguay as part of the top 3! Thanks. Very intersting.
Paraguay should actually be number 1. I can tell, because I live in Paraguay.
I wonder why Paraguay attracts so few tourists, while Colombia attracts so many.
@@Dah42 (lived in both for three years each... )
1. Colombia is far easier to get to, particularly from the US. Bogota is a short flight from Miami or Atlanta. ASU was always a pain in the ass to go to, mostly going through GRU.
2. Colombia has beaches.
3. Colombia, now, is safer than it was. Bogota, Medellin are not really any more dangerous than Sao Paulo, Rio, Buenos Aires, any other big city. The really dangerous sports are the middle of nowhere where tourists are not at all likely to be.
4. Colombia has better infrastructure for tourists. Flights. Buses. Easy enough that with my crap Spanish I could plan a getaway from Bogota to another airport then bus to a place like Jardin or Salento. Paraguay has almost nothing for tourists. Even in ASU was rare to hear English outside my local friend group. Heard it more from random people on my last couple trips back. Had just 2-3 trips in country, most our time doing adventures involved going somewhere else.
5. Colombia just has more going on for tourists to see and do. Paraguay doesn't have much comparatively, and nothing that sticks out like Cartagena, Salento, San Andres of some of the stuff other countries have to attract visitors.
While it seems I'm being hard on PY, I'm just typing what I've experienced as a gringo from my perspective in both. Still in regular talk with my Paraguayan friends, we exchange WhatsApps every couple days, sending craft beer pics, or them responding to my food pics with pics of their asado. Living there was difficult at times, but my friends made it a home in a way Bogota/Colombia never was. If I was going to recommend somewhere for a friend to visit in South America, I'd pick Colombia over Paraguay probably 19 times out of 20. If I were to back to one of the two, I'd pick Paraguay 19 times out of 20.
What criteria do you use to define what is "best" and what is "worst"?? When talking about "best country" you should use some health, education, labor and economic Indicators such as inflation and financial responsibility. Also take into account rankings of best universities, infrastructure, international investment and legal security. That way you would have a very different ranking with Brazil and Colombia in the top 5 and probably Argentina and Ecuador down to the 6th place and 7th place.

Kindly title properly your videos next time. What a heck you did here? How come you put countries such Bolívia and Paraguay for such higher position? You just showed jungle and Rio images from Brazil while thousands of Latin workers come to São Paulo to work especially on finance. Seems like you only ranked based on security, although, the criminality in Peru and Paraguay is way higher than Brazil or Colombia. Completely stereotyped video.
You also were mistaken when referring to Chile as a country with non environmental disasters. You can feel earthquakes there each other day tho
Not even mentioning Colombia on such lower position.
Chile is one of the most seismically active countries in the world due to its location along the Ring of Fire. so to say that natural disasters are uncommon is ridiculous.
There is a mayor earthquake in Chile about every 10 years.
However the likehood of a tourist dying from one is 0.
Because Chile is also the best prepared country for earthquakes in the world.
If you build an structure in Chile and it does not tolerate an earthquake magnitud
9.5 you go to jail. That is the standard in Chile.
Which translated to simple English: not a single brick will fall on your head. Never.
(More people (old), die of a heart attack in an earthquake in Chile)
In Florida, on the 24th of June of 2021, a building colapsed killing 98. There was not even a tremor. That is the standard in the USA.
In 2016 there was a tremor magnitude 6,2 in Italy and it killed 290 people.
In 2010 an earthquake 700 times more potent, (8,7 magnitude), happened in Chile it killed 245 people from the earthquake, and about 300 more from the tsunami.
Because the authorities did not sound the alarm. Since then much stricter measures have ben taken.
In average more people die from tornados in USA than from earthquakes in Chile.
Great Chilean Earthquake in 1960 -- freaking NINE POINT FIVE! The most powerful on record.

@@riazedn4728 The topic was actually the fact that the Falkland Islands WERE mentioned in the video while French Guiana wasn't (even though both of these are territories of a European country).
It would make sense to either exclude both or to include both, but mentioning only one of them and ignoring the other doesn't make much sense (especially when French Guiana is actually a lot more relevant for the video than the Falklands).

Your video is misleading and very inaccurate. The information provided is either opinion-based or completely taken out of context. In order to accurately rank these countries you'd have to factor in real statistical data (such as the ones mentioned by many comments below), and have a fair comparison, since countries like Brazil are 2/3x bigger than most other countries in the list, having a lot more to consider than simply a beautiful, but overrated city.
Uruguay best tourist attractions than Peru and you show their government palace which is a regular building? Have you seen Peru's palace?
Venezuela, what a shame. It used to be regarded as relatively prosperous country because of its oil.
Chile and Brazil are the best countries in south america, you are uninformed, you certainly don't know south america, read this information on the internet

No way... so many Brazilians and Argentines are migrating to Paraguay. Brasil is so unsafe and expensive! Argentina is in economic turmoil! Uruguay is expensive.
Argentina number third???? Maybe a decade ago! Are you keeping with what’s going on there?
I was surprised, because I life in Suriname. Finding my country on the 8th spot, higher than Brazil, Guyana, Colombia and Venezuela gave me a feeling of pride.
Suriname also have high inflation and an unstable currency
This list doesn't make any sense!!!
Is because suriname have 600.000 people and few territory with few cities. Its easy to fell safe, and living relaxed (what this list was about) than in Brazil. Brazil is a big big country with a big population, not everybody can live good, you know? Venezuela has the best oil reserve but also their government is shit, that also have influence in this list
You are right. The Surinamese population lives mostly in the coastline. I've studied for two years in Brazil and it is an enourmous country, almost 60 times the size of Suriname. @@venetinto691

@@etchalaco9971 looking at Peru with the current issues and president
Brazil has me tran 5.000 cities and a large coast of more than 7.000 kilomerers of extension, the city of Rio de Janeiro is not reference for that wonderfull country, there places much security to visite and so beautifull as well.
I am a southern Brazilian from the border region. Always loved Uruguay as one of my great grandfathers was from Tacuarembó, and we used to spend great vacations there. Nice people, good security etc; not sure how are employment opportunities there now (haven't visited for quite a while). Still have a project of buying a chacra in Rocha or Maldonado and spend time there upon retiring (maybe breed horses, sheep, bovine cattle etc...back to my origins).
Love Chile as well, I hope their current socialist government is not doing as bad as the one in Brazil. Unfortunately our good path was interrupted by a failed electoral system and institutional instability is a fact. Lots of investors are now closing their businesses and moving to Uruguay, Panama, Paraguay, USA etc...
Paraguay might be a good investment if one is young, especially if the 2-oceans way project becomes a reality (it will link the Port of Santos, in Brazil, to the ports of Antofagasta and Iquique in Chile via Paraguay and Northern Argentina).
Sistema eleitoral falhado? Você tem provas? Ou é porque o hoje Inelegível ex-presidente não conseguiu se reeleger?

"natural disasters are uncommon here" says the guy about the country with the highest ever recorded earthquake in history. They had like 10 medium quakes between 4 and 5 on Richter just in the last 7 days alone.
Best joke in history about a country
Safety is very important but it isn’t everything and it is also subjective. Uruguay may be overall safer but it’s also not as diverse, warm, pretty, developed and industrialized as Brasil for example. Safety depends on the region in each country and huge countries tend to be less safe in general due to huge populations but they also have very safe regions within them.
Brazilians, sadly, usually don’t know how important and vital safety is, because they have never seen a true safe place. It is a country where people got accustomed to living in danger, surrounded by poverty and corruption. This is a very bad way to live your life. If most brazilians could experience true safety and a civilized condition for a while, they would rather drastically change the country or move out.
Brasil is 💩
@@RedneckJoe I have been to safe places such as Australia and I would say even though Brazil has a high criminality rate, there are places way safer than many foreigners would think of to live here. Places like Joao Pessoa, Cabo Frio, where I live, Londrina, etc, many smaller towns where it's possible to have a normal life. I'm 48 years old and have always lived in Brazil. I've never been robbed here.
Salaries are higher in Uruguay compared to Brazil also.

The person who made this list has no idea what goes on in South America.
Wait. Did they leave out French Guiana here, or was I just a bit distracted?? Maybe check the pronunciation of Suriname?
French Guiana is part of France, it's not a independent country (same case as Falklands)
@conker bad day No, it's not a country... It's part of the EU and is more similar to Puerto Rico for the US o Tristan da Cunha for the British than to a country

You can't rank countries by its gdp, the happiness is what matter, if you are rich and sad you are not better than poor people that are happy
This video should be deleted, it's full of wrong information, Brazil IS NOT RIO DE JANEIRO and Argentina IS NOT BUENO AIRES only.
Every country has its own set of problems and strengths. Using a ranking system that simply lists countries from "best to worst" is not only imprecise and inadequate, but also frivolous and lacking in credibility. It is impossible to take such a generic and amateur approach seriously when considering the complexities of each country.
BOLIVIA IS NOT ONLY LA PAZ
It's difficult compare Brasil with our neigbhors, because the country has so different places, culture, economic situations.
Tourism in São Paulo is by far more interesting than whole Uruguay, not to say about business tourism, but only the beaches would be enough.
Also, São Paulo has low rates of criminality.
Then you have Amazon, Foz do Iguaçu, Pantanal, Lençóis Maranhenses, and so many safe places.
It's very unlikely to see a crime in a tourist area, even in Rio.

Funny. What you used when you make this video? Alcohol? Meth? Cocaine? Weed?
Brazil is half of South america in many ways. If you add all south american countries except brazil, you'll find almost the same numbers when it comes to HDI, GDP, GDP Per Capita, Population and Land Area.
This marks an interesting phenomenon of statistics where you ought to understand the limitations of numbers to understand what they mean. In this instance, you have a lot to lose when you summarize a country the size of Brazil by single numbers (that is why people invented variance). You see, these numbers dont actually show how the real world actually is. If you take your time a travel to anywhere in the state of São Paulo and then go to anywhere in Argentina, you'll notice that SP is much more developed and economically stable.
Inside of Brazil you have cities with both 0,418 HDI and 0,862 HDI. The difference is quite big from region to region, state to state, city to city and neighbourhood to Neighbourhood.. Once again, you have neighbourhoods with the hdi of 0,962 and beyond but their bordering neighbourhood could have the hdi of 0,750's.
Anyways, a fairer list would compare brazilian states with other SA countries, but it would take much more time so its usually more feasible to reduce a country the size of a continent to single numbers (understanding time is another statistical challenge). For that reason, its important to understand the goals of your studies and what do you want to achieve with it. In this case, why are we comparing countries? Do we want to understand the living conditions of the people in these places? If so, i'd be better to fragment Brazil to avoid losing so much data.
Finally, even if you fragment Brazil we could not call it entirelly fair because even those states, of which have really nice living conditions (compared with the world), gets their taxes divided between other states, which is something that created the so called "Unsustainable cities of the northeast of Brazil", but that is a different interesting topic. I'd like to add that it even though you cant have a perfect comparison, understanding how to balance it could not be more of a scientific process, which is what makes things really cool.
Nah, bro put Brazil in 9, A lot of brazil cities are better than the rest of SA, and mostly s** you said is about Rio only bruh, Brazil is giant
Brazil is the top best of all countries in America as a continent!
This has not aged well. Ecuador is now one of the most dangerous and Argentina is a disaster financially. Peru has thrived. I am an American expat living here in Peru for seventeen years now!!! Friendly people. Great climate and excellent fresh food.

This video does not make much sense, "Best" and "Worst" are very superficial terms to talk about countries.
ARE YOU SERIOUS 🧐 !!
THIS IS LITTERY THE WORST LIST I EVER SAW IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. Brazil worse than BOLÍVIA ? EQUADOR? SURINAME? I mean, wtf ??? Brazil is a continent size country. U r not comparing equivalent things. São Paulo, a single city in Brazil, has more than 3 times the population of all Uruguay. Its absolutely clear that this guy took has no idea what he’s talking about. This vídeo is from 2022, and he’s saying that Argentina had no polictal crises at that time?? I mean, Argentina was and still is in its major polictal crises maybe in its entire history. What the hell! Seriously…
200 thousand people watched this vídeo so far… for u watching this. Im from south america, i’m from Brasil, and i’ve been to Chile, Argentina, and other countries.. this list does not reflects reality AT ALL.
lol a professor in my college once said "Argentina is not going through an economic crisis. Argentina IS an economic crisis".
One that I was curious about that didn't even gain mention was French Guiana. My cousin once spent a week in Cayenne and visited beaches and had fun and was undisturbed.
She went there and spent which valuta? Yes EU €€. So that means that it is an autonomous part of France in South America, that is why they also are a part of South America, otherwise FG would be the smallest country in SA
They didn't mention it because it's not a country it's a french territory.
Was this video generated by AI? Pronouncing Suriname as Surinami? Other videos on this channel seem AI generated also. This is a disturbing trend on UA-cam.
I think it depends on what you value the most safety, economy, nature, people but as a person who lives in this continent my list would be:
1 brazil : a lot of potential but huge inequality
2 Uruguay : only love for this country South American hidden gem
3 chile : because of its economy
4 Colombia: beautiful people, very fun country, nature but there’s still safety issues
5 Peru: another beautiful country, political inestability
6 Argentina: economy has serious problems right now
7 Bolivia: it’s a nice country but it’s kinda boring
8 paraguay : economy is growing but it’s kind of boring compared to other contries
9 guyanas : …
10 hell
11 Venezuela :staying in hell is better right now
Why you do venezuela like that😂
I mean before moving to the us Venezuela was a little okay(doesn't mean it was good at all but I was just...okay..) but now it's a living hell.good thing we moved,but i still feel sad cause i still have many family and friends there.
Suriname os not guyana. Maybe in the past it was Dutch Guyana , but bruuh like colombia and venezuela were Gran Colombia at first
