Thousands are drawn to South America every year, and it’s no surprise since it has some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, with its gigantic waterfalls of Iguazu, the intricate ecosystem of the Amazon Rainforest, the expansive stretches of virgin beaches, the glaciers and pristine lakes, and the longest mountain range on the planet: the majestic Andes. Much of this continent is still untouched by development, making it possible to go off the beaten track and be immersed in unspoiled landscape.

The culture is also very diverse, with some people still living in the same tradition as their indigenous ancestors, while others from Africa, Asia, and Europe, have brought their own way of life and have added to the many layers of culture. As a result of this dynamic population influx, each country has its own distinct flavour and traditions.

If you like the outdoors, there are many different types of adventures you could have. Natural wonders abound in South America, making it a perfect place for skiing, white-water rafting, rock-climbing, trekking, surfing, and snorkelling. Whether you opt to explore the rugged Andes or relax in a hammock on the beautiful Caribbean, it will be an experience you will never forget.
