South American Countries - Ranked from Best to Worst

South American countries appear to be among the top bests and also among the top worsts. This is a unique feature of the continent. In fact, the best country in South America can match or rank better than some countries in Europe and Asia. But what is the best country in South America? Let’s start by asking the question, how many countries are there in South America?
For record purposes, there are 12 independent countries on the continent. Here are those countries in a simple alphabetical order: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Besides these 12, there are two dependent territories, namely, the Falkland Islands and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands among several other territories. But let’s focus on ranking only the 12 independent South American countries from best to worst in this video.
1. Uruguay
Uruguay is considered the best country in South America. It’s generally held as the safest place in South America. You will agree no less when you consider its laidback atmosphere. Montevideo, the capital city of Uruguay, is often associated with the Western European café culture. Uruguayans generally have a high standard of living as the government is doing its best to reciprocate the goodwill it's enjoying. Note also that natural disasters are not a threat to the Uruguayans. This one advantage is enough to make it the best country in South America. It also has the best of many tourists attractions on the continent while the people are quite friendly.
2. Chile
Chile, the second-best country in South America on our list has certain things in common with Uruguay, the very best country. Chile ranks high in safety globally. It hasn’t been ranked outside the top safest 30 countries in the world. Natural disasters are uncommon here. The cost of living in Chile is low for its high standard of living. This is probably because Chile has the strongest economy on the continent. This economic strength is partly responsible for the very low crime rate in the country and Chile is the least corrupt in that region. In South America, Chile has the lowest poverty level.
3. Argentina
Argentina is among the top best countries in South America. As one of the southern countries, most of the South American features in Argentina are in moderation. But for safety, it ranks a lot higher than nine other countries. While you may hear of dengue fever, especially in places like Salta, the healthcare system in Argentina is excellent. It is free for every Argentine and tourist that falls sick while visiting the country. The country hasn't experienced any political turmoil in recent times despite its economic challenges that should have caused protests and riots in other countries. Argentina has a diverse and vibrant landscape in towns enriched with culture and liveliness.
4. Paraguay
Ranking as the fourth-best country in South America is Paraguay. It tops this list due to its clement weather and predictable climate. According to the Global Peace Index, Paraguayans don't have a lot of things to be worried about. For one thing, it’s not a country often visited by tourists. Thus, many areas of its major cities haven’t caught the attention of criminals. The Paraguay soil is fertile, which endows it with lush forests.

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.

[@ilovesheryterry]

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.

[@martinfernandez352]

Uruguay si the best

[@crypticnomad]

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

[@Gerard-Red]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Why wasn’t any mention of French Guiana, a French Overseas Department.

[@riazedn4728]

Cause it is still seen as a colonial France, they are the only country in South America using the Euro€. So they are included in de EU , but still autonomous. Sorry for my bad explanation in English

@@martinusv7433 the topic was French Guiana

[@martinusv7433]

@@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).

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.

RDJ IS the prettiest/most unbelievably surreal city I have ever been to. That said, Rio (and it's favela-related crime rates) often gets most of the press in media because it makes for sensational storylines. Unfortunately it paints the entire country with a broad and mischaracterized brush. Travelling throughout the country with its grand size and numerous states its landscapes and culture are essentially as diverse as different countries within a continent. I also found the Brasilian people to be good-hearted, gracious people on the whole. This (along with the now relative stability of Colombia) are two countries that should be higher on this list as potential tourist destinations, all things considered.

What happened to French Guiana?

[@shaneschambach932]

Can the explanation to the ranking of these countries be due to latitude more so than for the internal political situation being lived in each one of them? It just so happens, by mere coincidence, that the ‘best’ countries, turn out to be the farthest from the Equator, and the ‘worst’, the ones at the Equator. Could latitude then be the reason that determines how ‘good’ a country is then? I guarantee you that if Russia wouldn’t have turned out to be Communist, it would have far outranked the USA. What do you think?

Bro since when living in countries like Guyana or Suriname is better than Colombia? I get that in Colombia we may have some conflicts and unsafety problems but you live quite well in major cities if you're cautious and I don't get anyone who would like to live in those 2 countries. Safety has improved A LOT here and you have more things to do and more working opportunities
