Andes peaks, Amazon jungle, and carnival rhythms

South America

South America is a continent of superlatives: the Amazon, the Andes, the Atacama, and Iguazu Falls are all here, alongside colonial cities, tango halls, and the samba streets of Rio. Machu Picchu, Patagonia's glaciers, and the salt flats of Bolivia draw adventurers, while the continent's music, food, and festivals keep them coming back.
