South / Central America

The place where ancient civilizations blend with European and African influences offers spectacular and diverse cultural experiences in art, music, fashion and cuisine; home to such alluring destinations as the Amazon rainforest, the Andes Mountains, Patagonia, Machu Picchu, and the Galapagos Islands — to name only a few — the continent also offers some of the planet’s finest vineyards, lush landscapes, tropical beaches, and colorful and abundant varieties of flora and fauna.

Where Should I Go?

Argentina – One of the most exciting, eclectic and scenic destinations in the world is home to Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls, Patagonia, the Andes, the tango, cattle ranches and Gauchos, world-class ski resorts, wineries and soccer.
Belize – With breathtaking mountains, Maya ruins from an ancient civilization, vast systems of caves, lush jungle reserves, pristine Caribbean beaches and a world-renowned coral reef system, Belize just may be Mother Nature’s best kept secret.
Brazil – Everything in Brazil seems larger than life. It has the world’s wildest party, greatest waterfall, biggest wetlands, mightiest river and largest rainforest, and one of the most unique and diverse cultures on the planet.
Chile, Easter Island, & Patagonia – “The thin country” of Chile is squeezed between the Andes and the Pacific and is never more than 221 miles wide, yet its coastline of more than 3,000 miles creates an incredibly diverse landscape of deserts, forests, beaches, volcanoes, mountains, lakes, glaciers and fjords. From here you can also embark on adventures to either the otherworldly sites of Easter Island or the unforgettable landscapes of Patagonia.
Costa Rica – Costa Rica is a small yet incredibly lush country with 12 major life zones, over 10,000 kinds of flowering plants, 850 bird species, 3,000 butterfly species, 209 mammal species, active volcanoes, rainforests, cloud forests, lowland jungles, a dramatic Pacific coastline, beautiful weather and tranquil beaches.
Ecuador & Galapagos – Roughly the size of Colorado, Ecuador is a volcanically lush and colorful country divided into three regions: the coast, the Andes, and El Oriente (the East). It’s famous for its abundant birdlife, wild orchids, mountain village festivals, indigenous cultures, incredible natural beauty, biodiversity and the Galapagos Islands.
Peru – Peru can be divided into three distinct geographical regions: the coastal desert, where most of the major cities are located; the Andean Highlands, where mountain peaks soar above 20,000 feet; and the largely undeveloped Amazon jungle, with isolated villages, unique wildlife and an astounding number of bird species.
