Places To Visit For Great South America Travel Experiences

By Bertulda Zerna


A lot of options exist for a prospective holiday goer intent on having a memorable trip. Nonetheless, it is difficult to better the places to visit for great South America Travel Experiences. A few of the reasons for that are outlined in the paragraphs below.

First, the diversity of culture on this continent is astounding. With a blend of Spanish, Portuguese and indigenous cultures either existing separately or mixing to form a heterogeneous blend, there is a real cultural richness to appreciate here. And this diversity will stave off any possibility of boredom.

As an example, consider Argentina. All there is to see and do here is not confined to Buenos Aires, wonderful as it is. A vast array of natural sights and lovely towns and villages are on display for the inquiring tourist. An example is Patagonia and the Lake District, and quite a few others abound in the outer regions.

Another example is Brazil, the largest of the Southern American nations and the fifth largest nation on the globe. Quite appropriately for the largest nation, it is home to the continent's largest city, Sao Paolo. The rainforests and river basin of the Amazon are among the gorgeous natural wonders that can be found here.

The small country of Ecuador has three distinct geographical areas on its mainland with three corresponding climates, giving the country an enviable diversity. The Oriente province, for instance, is rich in ecological vegetation and wildlife. The Sierra province is where you will find Quito, the capital city.

The Costa region runs, appropriately enough, along the country coastline. Its wonderful beaches are a draw for travellers, who go there in packs. Lying off the Ecuadorian coast are the renowned Galapagos Islands, which host the animal and plant life that influenced Charles Darwin's evolutionary theories, and they are just as ecologically vibrant in our day.

For a genuine sample of the indigenous, you should consider a journey to Bolivia. Native tongues like Quecha or Aymara are used as prodigiously as Spanish in this state. And the scenery and vibrancy that this area of Earth plays host to is something else, which can be admired as much as the multiplicity of languages.

For a real taste of history, though, a trip to Peru is essential. Here is where the legendary Incan Empire was headquartered, and the ruins of that lost empire are still dotted across the land. Cuzco was the capital of the Incas, and holds the distinction of being the oldest continuously populated city on the continent.

Peru offers more than just Incan relics, though. For instance, Macchu Picchu is one of Earth's most celebrated tourist attractions from a historical viewpoint. And the ecology of the Ballestas Islands is sufficient to rival that of the Galapagos.

To sum up, there are many places to go for terrific South America Travel Experiences, as the paragraphs above can testify. Nature, culture, history and linguistic diversity are all available in huge quantities in this continent. So keep all this information firmly in the forefront of your mind when drawing up your holiday plans.
