Real tourers love South America. It’s as though the continent was built for touring; a place that excites, thrills, challenges and infuriates. Go down the Amazon in a canoe, get drenched at the Iguassu Falls, try your hand at learning the Tango or watch a football game at Maracana Stadium, or simply lose yourself in the break-neck speed of Buenos Aires or Rio de Janeiro.
With its gorgeous landscapes, cosmopolitan cities and lively culture, Argentina is a traveller’s paradise. Nature-lovers can traverse the Patagonian steppe, walk among thousands of penguins, witness the world’s most amazing waterfalls or revel in Patagonia’s glacier-carved landscapes and painted Andean deserts. City slickers will adore fabulous Buenos Aires, an immensely enjoyable place just to wander about, people-watching, shopping or simply soaking up the unique atmosphere. Its many barrios, or neighbourhoods, are startlingly different – some are decadently old–fashioned, others thrustingly modern – but all of them ooze character.
Powdery white-sand beaches, lined with palm trees and fronting a deep blue Atlantic, Brazil is a seductive country. Its verdant rainforests boast an astounding array of wildlife whilst some of the world’s most exciting cities lie inside of Brazil’s borders. A country revered for its football prowess and rich musical traditions, Brazilians are a diverse bunch and full of the carnival spirit - as magnificently displayed at the annual festivities in Rio de Janeiro and Salvador, where visitors can join the mayhem at samba–filled parties. Brazil’s landscape is as diverse as the people who inhabit it, where a trip into the interior reveals a different but equally captivating country including the world’s biggest rainforest in the Amazon.
