South America

South America is a continent of enormous expanse, resources and inborn beauty. This unruly continent, placed between the Caribbean, the South Pacific, and the South Atlantic Oceans, remains unfamiliar to many travelers, yet holds real riches for both the bold explorer of nature and the lover of great metropolises. South America is a continent of heights: the greatest rainforest, the second longest river, the tallest mountain range in the Western Hemisphere, tropics and ice, the world's greatest waterfall and islands as remote and mysterious as any in the world.  An excursion to the countries of South America remains the trip of years, an expedition that will certainly rival any other. Whether to the lofty plateaus and remains of Peru, the natural wonders of the Galapagos or the icy countryside’s of Patagonia, soft escapade travelers will at no time lack for a brand new holiday here. The ruins of antediluvian civilizations sit scattered among the mazes and islands of South America, and modern day cities rich in culture and architecture are juxtaposed. The flora and fauna of the great Amazon jungle are richer than that of Africa, and many plants and animals remain unchallenged. For those of an additionally urban liking the great colonial cities and state of the art metropolises of South America rival those of Europe.
