South America Holidays

Print Version Screen Version

South America holidays rock! There is a heap of exciting attractions and activities with plenty of adventure to be had if you're up for it. Argentina has plenty of attention grabbing attractions; a city tour of Buenos Aires by bike is a fabulous way to see the sights like the Plaza De Mayo where Evita performed her famous speech to millions and the neighborhood of San Telmo with its Spanish architecture, cobblestone streets, restaurants with fabulous cheap eats and bohemian atmosphere. Buenos Aires is the birthplace of tango and a tango show is one of the most popular tickets with both locals and tourists alike.

Bounce into Brazil for beautiful beaches, mad soccer fans and all things Bossa Nova. Of course there is also the Amazon River and Rainforest as well as the famous Iguaçu Falls to see – holidays in South America are incomplete without a visit to these natural wonders. Bolivia has its own share of top spots to see, the Andes Mountains is excellent for an alpine adventure, climbing and trekking are popular pastimes here and after some strenuous climbing you can unwind with some kayaking, hang gliding or canoeing.

South America holidays are all about exploring natural wonders like Machu Piccu in Peru. These ancient Inca ruins shrouded in clouds are a breathtaking sight and a rudimentary inclusion on any South American travel itinerary. See perfectly preserved temples, palaces, houses and store rooms against a backdrop of striking green terraced fields.
