Planning a trip to South America may be daunting. The massive continent has enough to inspire and satisfy for a lifetime, and yet you might not know where to begin. Here we describe the major activities and most wonderful destinations in 3 of the major countries in South America and the best of Latin America for your planning convenience.
Costa Rica - There are a myriad of places to visit in the Caribbean, but none is as diverse as Costa Rica. The country straddles the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea at the same time, giving way to wild surf on one side and tranquil paradise on the other. As well, scattered throughout its geography are a handful of volcanoes, some of which are still active. And if these don't do the trick, visit a cloud forest or go river running on your Costa Rica vacations through some of the most thrilling routes on earth.
Peru - For the foodie who also likes a side of culture and history, Peru is the ultimate destination. Lima is regularly regaled as the gastronomic capital of the Americas, and its fine restaurants have all the quality of the top eateries in the world for a fraction of the price. To experience authentic Peruvian culture, head to the central Andes where old traditions have been continued since the old days, such as in the cuisine and handicrafts. Of course, no trip to Peru would be complete without experiencing Machu Picchu whether reached by hiking the infamous Inca Trail or taking a scenic train ride.
Brazil - As the largest country in South America by far in terms of land, Brazil offers a monster selection of things to see and do. Rio de Janeiro is the lusty and indulgent beach worthy of any bucket list, with its iconic Ipanema and Copacabana sun and sand for all ages. Its nightlife is also known to be one of the most vibrant in the world, all the while being watched over by the large white Christ the Redeemer statue in the background. Down south, the Pantanal wetlands are the most expansive of its kind on the continent, and visitors can glimpse exotic wildlife in its waters and along its shores. Up north, even more unique flora and fauna can be seen in the legendary Amazon Rainforest by taking a cruise up or down the Amazon River on your Brazil vacation packages. Stay at a jungle lodge to get the full natural experience, and go on a canopy walk hundreds of feet above the ground for a truly distinct look into life in the treetops.
