I'm not sure that I read your post correctly , but I think you said you wanted to travel before you finish school.
In my opinion that's not a good idea , finish your college or uni and THEN travel , you'll find your parents will understand much better .I think you will also enjoy your trip much more having put your studies behind you and have an enjoyable and relaxing trip , who knows there may be an opportnity to do some work , volounteer work or research whilst on your trip .
I've not travelled in S America , but those who have done it say a budget of $40 tp $50 should be lots .
