Nestled between the Caribbean, the South Pacific, and the South Atlantic Oceans, South America is the wilder of the Americas, and a continent of superlatives.

The world’s biggest rainforest and the largest river (Amazon), the highest mountain range outside Asia (the Andes), remote islands (Galapagos Islands (145), Easter Island (144) and Fernando de Noronha (285), heavenly beaches, wide deserts, icy landscapes, the world’s tallest waterfall, as well as several other breathtaking natural attractions are all part of this incredibly diverse and attractive continent.

The work of man has also left rare gems on the continent: ruins of ancient civilizations share the continent with world-class metropolises, outstanding modern architecture, European architecture, the oldest rock paintings in the Americas, strong African heritage, genuine indigenous, charming cities built in the Andes and Eastern culture, mingled with the fingerprints of Iberian colonizers.
