South America is the southern continent of America, situated entirely in the Western Hemisphere and mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, with a relatively small portion in the Northern Hemisphere. It is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean and on the north and east by the Atlantic Ocean; North America and the Caribbean Sea lie to the northwest.

America was named in 1507 by cartographers Martin Waldseemüller and Matthias Ringmann after Amerigo Vespucci, who was the first European to suggest that the newly discovered lands were not India, but a New World unknown to Europeans.

South America has an area of 17,840,000 square kilometers (6,890,000 sq mi), or almost 3.5% of the Earth's surface. As of 2005, its population was estimated at more than 371,090,000. South America ranks fourth in area (after Asia, Africa, and North America) and fifth in population (after Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America).

In South America, in which countries is it safe for Americans to drink the tap water?
Q. In South America, in which countries is it safe for Americans to drink the tap water? Or is it unsafe in all of them?

A. Your question is odd. You ask where it's safe for americans to drink tap water in South America. Is there anything wrong with Americans?I'm asking because in my country (Argentina) we drink tap water and so do tourists from anywhere, and no one has gotten sick so far. So I guess our water is not nationality-biased. You can drink tap water safely here; fresh, clear and crystalline tap water. I thought everyone knew that tap water IS drinking water. It's different if you want to drink from a well, for example. But today those are rare even in the countryside. The first guy who answered seems to have taken his *information* from some online guide. I wouldn't trust those. Who knows where that info comes from? Better talk to a person who… [cont.]
