I'm planning on taking a gap year after I graduate high school to immerse myself in the language in four Spanish speaking countries in Central/South America.
A lot of people have been telling me Peru and Colombia have the "clearest" Spanish, but I still need two more countries

Thanks!

Many people say that the difference between the 2 types is the same as the difference between US and UK English, yet if, for example, you compare the Spain Yahoo Answers page, with a Latin American one, Mexico, for example, it's clear to see, even if you don't speak any Spanish that things have been reworded and many different words are used. While there seems to be no difference in wording between the US and UK sites.

So is the gap wider than people make out?
