As one of the most diverse continents in the world, South America offers an incredible journey for any traveller. Beautiful beaches, exotic rain forests and some of the most incredible cities in the world all find their home on the continent. Whether you are looking for an intrepid journey or a relaxing vacation, there is something here for you.
With so much going on and twelve independent countries to explore, it would be impossible to get everything done in one visit. Here are just a few of the many adventures that are waiting for you.
1. Tour the Amazon Rainforest
One of the most exciting and exotic tours in the world can be found in the Amazon Basin of South America. The region includes territories that belong to over nine of the twelve nations and tours are varied to cater to different levels of adventure and experience. Cruise along the Amazon River or make your way into the rainforest on a two week guided expedition. There's nothing like it. Book a stay in an Amazon Lodge and enjoy the serenity and intrigue that it offers.
2. Iguazu Falls
One of the most unique natural formations in the world, the Iguazu Falls lies between Argentina and Brazil and are an incredibly popular tourist destination. Renowned for its famous U-Shape and taller than the famed Niagara Falls in the United States and Canada, the Iguazu Falls are completely incredible to see. There are close to three hundred different cascades to see at Iguazu and nothing does the view justice like being there.
3. Patagonia
Patagonia is a region that lives between both Argentina and Chile, home to some incredible geological formations, volcanoes, glaciers and incredible rivers. Many tourists choose to fly into Patagonia proper because of the lack of roads, but the trip is well worth it to see some of the most incredible nature and landscapes on the planet.
4. Machu Picchu
The most visited tourist destination in Peru, these restored ruins of the ancient Incan civilisation offer a glimpse into a lost time that you can't experience anywhere else on the planet. A stay in a nearby hotel allows a night time walk of the ruins after all the day tourists have left and the view out over the Urubamba River is incredible.
5. Rio de Janeiro
With the promise of beaches, resorts and a vibrant nightlife, you can experience something a little different to the waterfalls and intrepid outdoor journeys offered outside of the cities. Brazil's second largest city is an incredibly popular tourist destination where you won't have any trouble filling a weekend or a week with excitement. Visit the theatres, bars and restaurants, relax on the beach or plan a stay during one of the city's many annual carnivals to experience the excitement offered there.
