Why are there so many countries is south america? and what are their differences

Why are there so many countries is south america? and what are their differences?
I can understand why Brazil was it's own country because it being a Portuguese colony and not a Spanish one. But why didn't the Spanish countries of South America join together more? I know they have their differences now but hey couldn't have had many differences when they were gaining independence. Spanish Speaking: Argentina Bolivar Chile Columbia Ecuador Paraguay Peru Uruguay Venezuela Portuguese: Brazil Why didn't Gran Columbia work? and why are there so many spanish speaking countries in south america group together more?

Have you ever had a look at a recent map of Europe. We were always divided in many different countries but lately it has almost become impossible to keep up. South America is a big continent and unlike the U.S.it has always been divided through differences in the population. It was easier for a newly settled country like the U.S. to make a Confederation, the indigenous inhabitants were a small minority in comparison to the settlers,who might have been of different origin but had the same final goal.

language alone can NOT be a reason two countries should have been one. What about the US and Canada then??

This is not a travel agency in US but they cater for people in the US. It's Lima Tours, the best in all Peru and they have a web site: www.limatours.com.pe You'll find interesting tours and discount offers in their website. They have organised millions of tours into Peru from the US. About the visa, it depends on your country of origin (where's your passport from). There is no visa for Americans but if you are in the US with a work visa, it depends on your nationality. I would play it safe and contact the Peruvian consulate in the city where you live in the US and ask them according to your nationality. Typical roundfare in January? LA - Lima like 500 $. It's high season in Peru, low season in the States, I would check travelocity, expedia, orbitz, Lanchile.com, aa.com (american airlines) as everyday there are tons of sales and discount airfares. LanChile has a direct flight from LA to Lima every day.

Should I quit my job and study abroad, or play the safe route?
I work full time as a nurse, and I like my shift. I want to study abroad in Peru for 4-6 weeks, studying Spanish and volunteering. I cannot take more than 2 weeks off and would probably have to quit my job. I get married next year, and this is probably my last opportunity. I am worried though, that I will hate whatever job I have when I return, considering the market, even in health care- hospitals are not hiring.

I guess it really depends on whether or not you'll regret it later if you do not take the opportunity to study abroad. You could try discussing this with your employer to see if they'll give you a leave of absence or something so that you could return to your job when you get back. Strengthening your Spanish skills is certainly a positive thing, and they might go for it if you sell this as a skill-building venture.

Nurses are in demand right now ... talk to your HR person about a 60 day leave without pay. You might be able to include some vacation pay into the equation as well .. like 2 weeks vacation and 45 days of leave. Remember to ask for slightly more time than you need to account for preparation and post-trip issues. Have fun.

I haven't heard of such a program, but I don't think one is needed. I have taught school in Ecuador and Bolivia and am over 30. All you need is to get a job with a school who will get you a special visa for teachers. Most countries have that type of a visa only good as long as you are working at the school that contracted you. There is no restriction as to how old you are or what your credentials are...that depends on the school itself.
