SOUTH AMERICA

LAND OF WONDERS

South America is a continent so spectacular and aweinspiring , that it embraces your heart and soul and refuses to let go . While the bright lights of the big cities might steal the limelight , South America ’ s natural wonders are the true spectacle . From the breathtaking beauty of Perito Moreno Glacier to the mind-boggling depth of Colca Canyon , the blinding white of the Uyuni Salt Flats to the dazzling star-filled sky of the Atacama Desert , the continent is literally bursting at the seams with majestic sights .

The cities you will encounter along the way give those natural wonders a run for their money . Rio de Janeiro , called the Marvelous City , lives up to its name thanks to its famed beaches , refreshing caipirinha drinks and a giant , iconic statue welcoming you to the city with open arms . Nicknamed the Paris of South America , Argentina ’ s Buenos Aires is a playground of Latin passions and European panache , home to Evita ’ s lasting memories , incredibly chic neighborhoods and sultry tango performances . On the other coast is Chile ’ s loveliest , liveliest city , Valparaiso , which is awash with artists ’ studios , hillside eateries and busy cafés and bars . Be forewarned : a single trip to South America will never be enough . Visit once and you ’ ll find yourself returning again and again .
