South America is one of the most fascinating destinations on Earth Like the gold that wooed the Spanish conquistadors to its shores, South America offers an abundance of riches and a rhythm that will resonate for a lifetime
From the raw pulsating energy of Rio, the European sophistication of Buenos Aires and the mystery of long-lost civilisations in Peru, to the awe-inspiring peaks of the Andes and the steamy secrets hidden in the lush folds of the Amazon, South America is a continent of contrasts –alluring, intoxicating and unforgettable
Whether it be the Inca ruins at Machu Picchu, the roar of Iguazu Falls or Rio’s exotic beach culture, a journey through South America is to see some of the most dramatic sights and scenery on Earth
Rich in Spanish and Portuguese colonial history and a mix of other European, African and indigenous Indian cultures, South America has a diversity and exotic flavour all its own
Here nature is at its finest and most spectacular, and the cities are among the most exciting and cosmopolitan in the world
Like the seduction of the Tango, South America’s treasures are best embraced up close and personally.
