Exciting Places To Visit On A Latin America Adventure Travel

By Christine Burns


Visiting South America is a dream come true for the average travel enthusiast. With a plethora of breathtaking sites, it is no secret why this is so. Here are a few places you might want to explore during your Latin America adventure travel.

The continent is home to some highly rated travel destinations that include Uruguay, Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, Chile, Argentina, Colombia and Peru. When you travel to Peru, you get to explore the historic Inca trail. This site sits at the upper slopes of the Andes. It is part of Machu Picchu, a prehistoric Inca city.

Its beauty is what makes it unique. There is an air of mystery that also surrounds its location and complex design. Many find it a mystery why the locals went to such lengths to construct the city in such as remote area. Navigating the trail can be a challenging affair, which is why many adventurers like to visit it.

The Amazon is a top attraction in the continent as well. Most accomplished adventurers have explored it at some point. The Amazon covers an estimated 5.5 million square kilometer distance over nine nations. It has been proven to harbor 30 percent of all the flora and fauna species worldwide.

Its ecosystem comprises a rainforest and a large river. The Amazon River courses its way through the rainforest and via nine countries. It hosts many fish and snake species, making it the most diverse habitat worldwide. From the tall canopies dotting the jungle, you can see an unhindered view of the ecosystem below.

Further from all this beauty, the Brazil and Argentina border hosts the magnificent Iguazu Falls. Many visitors to this site always get taken aback by the glorious never ending waterfall rows. You get an adrenaline rush from just hearing the massive roar of the cascading waterfalls. In total, the cascades go on for an estimated three kilometers in the rainforest. The good thing is that one can watch the beautiful site safely by standing on the extensive boardwalk network setup close to the waterfalls.

Like its neighboring countries, Bolivia is also home to some wonderful sites. One must see site is the Uyuni Salt Flats. The entire site was once a lake that covered a vast swathe of southwest Bolivia. When it rains, the expansive white plain gets transformed into a mega mirror. The resulting landscape looks out of this world.

When in the continent, many adventurists like to venture to the Galapagos Islands. These islands host lots of marine creatures and birds. Make a detour to the area to check out the friendly tortoises and sea lions. Snorkeling is an interesting activity to partake in thanks to the surrounding clear waters. Penguins and iguanas are also in plenty.

Rio de Janeiro should be the hallmark of your tour. A popular local attraction is the Copacabana beach. It is often flocked by visiting tourists. The city is renowned for the Christ the Redeemer statue, a divine looking monument situated at the nearby Corcovado Mountain.
