No! Go ahead to Argentina and avoid Rio. It's the most dangerous place to visit on the continent! My buddy just returned from Rio and was told to look out for muggings. He was mugged anyway. Brazil is a violent place and dangerous for Americans.

Thanks for the travel advice. Safety is a big concern, as I like to travel alone.

Buenos Aires was pretty safe as far a crime goes when I was going there frequently in the late 90s. In fact, the low crime rate was boasted in tourism advertisements.

I don't know if that has deteriorated since the peso crashed, though.
