South America
The home of Rio de Janeiro, Iguaçu Falls, Macchu Picchu and Lake Titicaca, the Spanish-Portuguese-speaking South American continent is nothing less than magical.
One large sonrisa with a rhythmic pulse coursing through its Latin core, it’s hard not to feel energised – and a little sensual – while traversing its length and breadth. South America, after all, is more than mere Latin melodies: it’s soaring mountains that divide the landscape, larger-than-life musical entertainment, thrilling carnivals, powerful nature-scapes and lost civilisations.
Its vibrancy exists in its people and natural environment, both of which are inescapably enthralling. So, get packing and explore the breathtaking beauty of the wonderland. Don’t forget your hiking boots, salsa shoes and a Spanish-Portuguese phrase book.
