Overview
At Rio de Janeiro’s carnival, the streets come alive. The fiery peppers that will make your taste buds twirl with excitement. The gigantic serpents, the bears that make nests, the neon birds, and the frogs that shine in the dark. There are more football greats than a fantasy squad could ever hope to contain. The Americas. It’s quite light. It vibrates. Regardless of what you’re looking for, you can find it here. But how do I even start? Peaceful Atacama Desert or enticing Punta del Este for your vacation? Christ, the Redeemer or Machu Picchu? The past or museums devoted to the Maya people? With the guidance of our South American Travel Guide, you can arrange the ideal, must-see vacation to the region known for its beaches, mountains, friendly people, and cornbread. Thank you very much.
What to eat
- Arepa-Also known as cornbread, this delightful baked goodie is free of gluten and goes well with meat or vegetables and melty cheese, mainly eaten in Colombia
- Empanada- The closest thing to eating a pocketful of sunshine that you will ever experience. Delicious turnovers that can be baked or fried and have a rich filling make them the ideal snack, mostly common in Argentina and Chile.
- Feijoada-This stew of black beans and beef from Brazil is served with rice, greens, and slices of orange. It’s comfort food meets flavour overload.
- Moqueca- This traditional Brazilian dish, which combines fresh fish, soft plantain, vegetables,
- Traditional Asado-You’ll quickly understand why beef is a source of pride for the people of Argentina after just one bite of this delicious, juicy, and salsa-flavoured barbecue.
Things to do
- Peru-(Take an Inca Trail walk and see Machu Picchu.): A marvel of the globe. An encounter that is life-affirming that unites man-made and natural beauty, but you are the one praising it. Likewise trekking to Machu Picchu along the Inca Trail.
- Chile and Patagonia (The Torres Del Paine Giant Icebergs): lose your composure, clear blue skies., glacier pools blue. When you visit Torres del Paine because of its breath-taking peaks and uncommon wildlife you will definitely enjoy every single moment.
- Argentina (Learn the tango in Buenos Aires) : Compared to its eponymous beverage, Argentina’s national dance is more flavourful and lively. Buenos Aires is a great place to put your skills to the test. (With a pre-event wine sampling to help you relax.)
- Andes, Bolivia: The largest salt flats in the world are a dried-up lake that is now a natural phenomenon. Experiencing the Salar de Uyuni is akin to strolling on an 11,000 km reflection. Many thanks to nature!
- Discover your inner Attenborough when visiting the Galapagos Islands: Among the top places in the world to see wildlife. Admired by everyone who comes to see it, even Charles Darwin in 1835. The iguanas are waiting on your thoughts.
- Attenborough on the Galapagos Islands, one of the top places in the world to see wildlife. Admired by everyone who comes to see it, even Charles Darwin in 1835. The iguanas are waiting on your thoughts.
- La Paz, Bolivia: More altitude and less attitude are needed. When you visit La Paz, you’ll be greeted by vibrant architecture, colonial cathedrals, and witches’ markets.
Best time to visit
Depending on the situation, that’s like asking what time of day is ideal for taking a shower or making your morning Caipirinha. Is there a show that you just must watch? How about moderately hot or really hot weather? Does the peak season for tourists scare you? Who brought you here—wildlife, parties, or both?
Southern Hemisphere climate: Brazil, Peru, and Colombia are in the northern hemisphere, where the seasons are more closely aligned with those in North America and Europe. On the other hand, in southern hemisphere countries like Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile, the seasons run backwards. So, summer is from November to January and winter is from June to August.
Top 5 Museums in South America
- Buenos Aires, Argentina (Nacional de Bellas Artes) : This museum, which was first constructed in Paris, was relocated to Argentina in the 1900s and currently houses the largest art collection in South America.
- Rio de Janeiro Brazil( Museum of Tommorrow) : A futuristic structure dedicated to showcasing concepts rather than physical objects.
