When you think of South America, the first thoughts can be of the lush Amazonian Rainforest spanning large swathes of the continent.

In truth, South America is so much more.

From the epic scale of Machu Picchu in Peru to the Patagonian glaciers of Chile and Argentina, the continent is as diverse as it is rich in nature. And let’s not forget idyllic beaches strewn between many countries offering up that Latin spirit in abundance.

Whether it’s an adventure you’re looking for or a more cultural journey with some beach time, South America is an intensely rich and diverse place to visit and one that will leave you in awe of its size, scale and sheer breathtaking beauty.
