The minute you step off a flight to South America you’ll realize that it’s unlike any other continent in the world. Each country within it possesses its own traditions and cultures; from the melancholic Argentinean tango to the ancient Inca ruins of Bolivia.
Brazil and Argentina are the two largest and most diverse countries in South America. And most travellers booking flights to South America choose to combine a trip to both countries. Brazil’s influences come from Portugal, Africa, Europe, the Middle East and Asia and its people all live harmoniously in this wild and exciting land. Argentina, on the other hand, is the most European of all the South America countries. But what both countries do have in common is the Iguazú Falls, the spectacular 275 cascading waterfalls which are taller than Niagara Falls and possibly one of the most unforgettable sights in the world.
Bolivia, nestled between the Andes and the Amazon rainforests, lies North of Argentina. This isolated country has retained the ancient traditions of its ancestors, making it a fascinating and mysterious place to visit. Its neighbour, Peru, is just as captivating with a history that dates back to the Inca Empire. Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela might not be as renowned for their ancient wonders as the other countries but what they do have is spectacular nature: lush landscapes, tropical rainforests, and pristine beaches.
