South America Holidays



South America is a land of superlatives - it has an amazing amount of tourist attractions to suit everyone: the world's highest waterfall (Angel Falls), the largest river (Amazon River) the longest mountain range (the Andes), the driest place on earth (the Atacama Desert), the largest rainforest (the Amazon Rainforest) and more.

Here are just a selection of wonderful places to visit in South America:

Peru
Peru boasts some of the most spectacular scenery in South America. The beautiful Peruvian Andes offers some of the best trekking in the World. The Mountains are also home to indigenous highlanders, who still speak the ancient tongue of Quechua and live a traditional way of life.

Chile
From salty desert top to glacier-crowded bottom, Chile is a reminder of nature's beauty and power. This narrow country is jammed with enough geysers, mountains, beaches, forests and volcanoes to keep adventure nuts slavering for a lifetime.

Travellers are mostly drawn to this string-bean country because of its spectacular Pacific coastline and Andean highlands, as well as the adventure sports on offer. But if you're here for more than that, then Chile will have gastronomes going gaga over its good food and cracking wines.

Brazil
Brazil is a country of staggering beauty. There are wonderful areas of unexplored rainforest, islands with divine tropical beaches, and endless rivers. Then there are the people themselves, who delight visitors with their energy and joy. More information on Sensational Brazil
