Popular destinations in South America
Peru
If you can't do all of South America, do the second best thing and do Peru. Machu Picchu, Nazca, the Amazon, see it all in Peru.
Argentina
It has become cliché to say that Argentina is as much European as it is Latin; yet to arrive in Buenos Aires and discover this is actually true still surprises.
Brazil
One of the largest countries in the world, Brazil certainly has plenty to see. But more than anything, it's the Brazilian passion for life that will make you want to return again.
Ecuador
Compact and diverse, Ecuador is like a tasting menu for South America. There are Andean mountains, complete with glacial volcanoes.
