Lush green jungles. Sparkling turquoise waters. Flamboyant scarlet macaws and dancing blue-footed boobies. A kaleidoscope of adventure awaits when you travel in South America. Even the bubblegum-colored walls of South America’s most storied cities will brighten your outlook. Everything comes alive when you venture below the equator. Exotic flavors awaken the tastebuds, tropical scents tickle the brain, and rhythmic beats persuade even the clumsiest of feet to glide across pulsing dance floors. From Costa Rica, Ecuador , and it’s Galápagos Islands down to Brazil, Peru, Chile and Argentina, every sense will work overtime as you reign atop mysterious mountains, stand before thundering waterfalls, sip cool, fresh caipirinhas and zip over even cooler cloud forests. On every South American vacation, we go beyond the expected for the ultimate jolt of rejuvenation and a totally different version of R&R. We’re talking rum and rumba, rivers and rainforests, ranches and ruins, and Rio and pure revelry. All in living color.
