Did you know this fact?

In Brazil, there’s a pink river dolphin species called the Amazon river dolphin or boto. What’s particularly fascinating is that they communicate through a series of clicks and whistles, similar to dolphins in other parts of the world. What sets them apart is their unique ability to navigate through flooded forests during the rainy season, showcasing their remarkable adaptability to their environment.

About Brazil

Other South Americans regard Brazilians as a race apart and language has a lot to do with it – Brazilians understand Spanish, just about, but Spanish-speakers won’t understand Portuguese. Brazilians also look different. In the extreme south German and Eastern European immigration hast left distinctive traces; São Paulo has the world’s largest Japanese Community outside Japan; slavery lies behind a large Afro-Brazilian population concentrated in Rio, Salvador and São Luis; while the Indian influence is still very visible in the Amazon. Italian and Portuguese immigration has been so great that its influence is felt across the entire country.
By far the largest country in South America, Brazil coves nearly half the continent and is only slightly smaller than the US, with an area of just over 8,5 million square kilometres. It shares frontier with every South America country except Chile and Ecuador. Brazil has around 200 million inhabitants, making it the fifth most populous country in the world.

Despite the immense expanses of the interior, roughly two-thirds of Brazil’s population live on or near the coast and well over half lives in cities – even in the Amazon. In Rio and São Paulo, Brazil has two of the world’s great metropolises, and ten other cities have over a million inhabitants.

It’s fair to say that nowhere in the world do people enjoy themselves more – most famously in the annual orgiastic celebrations of Carnival , but reflected, too, in the lively year-round nightlife that you’ll find in any decent-sized town. This national hedonism also manifests itself in Brazil’s highly developed beach culture, superb music and dancing and rich regionals cuisines.

Rio de Janeiro

There is no destination on earth more animated and exciting than Rio de Janeiro. Located in south-eastern Brazil, Rio de Janeiro is the most visited city of South America due to its famous mountains, beaches and Carnival festival.

Foz do Iguassu

One of the most awe-inspiring natural wonders in the world, Iguazu Falls straddles the Argentine-Brazilian border. It is often compared to Niagara Falls and Victoria Falls, such is its staggering size and scale. Surrounded by dense rainforest, its endless series of cascades stretch for almost three kilometres, making it the largest waterfall system in the world.

Fortaleza

Nice beaches, dynamic shopping and lively culture all make Fortaleza one of Brazil’s popular tourist destinations. The capital of the Ceará state on the country’s north-eastern coast, Fortaleza is Brazil’s fifth largest city, well-known for its forró music.

Pantanal

Covering a vast swathe of western Brazil, as well as parts of Paraguay and Bolivia, the Pantanal is the world’s largest and most diverse tropical wetland area. Due to its stunning scenery and incredible wildlife, the region is increasingly popular to visit, although its remote and watery nature does pose a few challenges.

Salvador da Bahia

A historic Old City, beautiful beaches, lively culture and one of the world’s biggest Carnival celebrations all fashion Salvador is one of Brazil’s top tourist destinations. One of the oldest cities in the Americas, Salvador is Brazil’s third largest city and the capital of the Bahia state.

Did you know this fact?

Did you know that Bolivia has its own navy, despite being a landlocked country? Established in the 1960s to patrol Lake Titicaca, the Bolivian Navy is the only navy in the world without a coastline. Although it primarily operates on the lake, it symbolizes Bolivia’s historical claim to access the Pacific Ocean, which it lost during the War of the Pacific in the late 19th century.

About Bolivia

Bolivia’s local cuisine is plentiful and varied, with each region having a local specialty. For example, in La Paz it has the ‘Chairo’, a soup made with lamb, beef and charque (dried and salted meat), all served in a terracotta bowl.

Bolivia has evolved in the last years to become today a sustainable tourist destination in which respect for nature is always present, where the connection between the local people and the visitor represents a genuine exchange and a great cultural wealth. Guarding the riches of their ecosystem has allowed Bolivia to position itself as a destination of large wild areas where the fauna and flora are preserved and observed like nowhere else.
At 1,098,581 km², Bolivia is eight times the size of England! The country has 11.6 million inhabitants, and their official language is Spanish.

The climate of Bolivia varies drastically from one eco-region to the other, from the tropics in the eastern llanos to a polar climate in the western Andes. The summers are warm and humid in the east and dry in the west, with rains that often modify temperatures, humidity, winds, and atmospheric pressure, yielding very different climates in different areas.

In Bolivia, people are culturally, racially, and socially diverse, a clear reflection of the over 36 native indigenous groups that have inhabited the country’s various regions for thousands of years, and a result of the historical assimilation of other races over time. Aymara and Quechua (2 million), Chiquitano (180,000) and Guaraní (125,000) are the four largest of Bolivia’s indigenous ethnic groups. Bolivia also has a small Afro Bolivian segment in the Yungas region.

Uyuni Salt Flat

The world’s largest salt flat with an area of nearly 11,000 km², near the crest of the Andes at an elevation of 3,656 m above sea level. Every November, the Salar de Uyuni is the breeding ground for three South American species of flamingo that feed on local brine shrimps: the Chilean, Andean, and rare James’s flamingos. During the rainy season (From November to March) the water accumulates on the Salar and creates a giant mirror that perfectly reflects the sky and clouds and allows visitors to play with the optical illusions caused by a lack of horizon.

The Lipez Region

Probably the most impressive area in terms of landscapes, the Lipez Region is not only home to the wonderful ‘Salar de Uyuni’; a huge salt desert trapped amongst the highest of the Andean volcanoes, but also The Eduardo Avaroa natural reserve. Located in South Lipez the reserve sits at 4,000 m above sea level and plays host to tremendous, coloured lagoons in the middle of a lunar landscape. In this region, visitors can discover magnificent White, Green and Red Lagoons, the incredible ‘Siloli Desert’ which is populated with strange and natural sculptures, as well as the ‘Geysers Sol de Mañana’, the famous ‘Rock Tree’, and many other highlights.

Lake Titicaca (Sun & Moon Islands)

The mythical cradle of the Tahuantinsuyo Empire, Lake Titicaca, is the highest navigable lake in the world at 3,809m above sea level. According to the legend, the first Inca, Manco Cápac and his wife Mama Ocllo, emerged from Lake Titicaca sent by their father, the Sun God, to find their Empire. The 214 cubic miles (893 km) of sacred waters are divided almost equally between Bolivia and Peru. On a cruise here, visitors will discover ‘Isla del Sol’ (Sun Island), one of the most sacred places of the Inca empire and home to the Pilkokaina (place where the bird rests), an impressive archaeological site on the shore of the island.

La Paz City

Lost among the highest Andean summits, La Paz will surprise you with its geography, culture, and atypical pace of life. It provides a particular atmosphere, like being out of time, where both modernity and indigenous authenticity show one of the most impressive backgrounds of syncretism. Discover the Plaza Murillo, La Paz’s main square for governmental and legislative functions or visit the Mercado de las Brujas (Witches Market) where you will be taken through the many streets of the market where ceremonial artifacts for rituals are sold, among many artisan objects and figures.

Valle de la Luna

The Valle de la Luna or ‘Valley of the Moon’ is an incredible geological formation located about 10 km away from the urban centre of La Paz. En route to the southern region of la Paz, as you head towards the Valle de la Luna, the road exiting the central part offers visitors the reality of a city in the mountains by exhibiting rural and seemingly uninhabited landscapes. It is said that Neil Armstrong himself named this enigmatic place as the ‘Valley of the Moon’ when visiting in 1969 because of its great resemblance to the craters that he saw on his trip to the moon.

Tiwanaku

Recognised as one of the 754 World Heritage Sites and considered the Stonehenge of the Americas, the ruin city Tiwanaku is one of the most important precursors to the Inca Empire. It remains an enigma for specialists regarding the appearance or disappearance of these ruins. Here, one can discover The Akapana pyramid, the largest building in Tiwanaku, which is considered to be a temple dedicated to the Sun God. Another attraction here is Pumapunku, a terraced earthen mound that is paved with blocks, best known for its massive stones and for the extraordinary precision of their cutting and placement. The most important monument in Tiwanaku however, is the Puerta del Sol (Gate of the Sun).

Amazon Region

One of the must-sees whilst travelling in South America is the Amazon Basin and fortunately this is one of Bolivia’s largest and most breath-taking regions. Packed full of incredible wildlife, flora, and fauna, spending at least a few days here roaming the jungle is an experience of a lifetime for those visiting Bolivia. Top of the list for visitors is the fascinating Parque Nacional Madidi; a National Park with an area of nearly 19,000 square kilometres. This is one the most biologically diverse parks in the world, with an abundance of mountains, forests, and river habitats, as well as more than 1000 species of neotropical birds, over 5000 superior plants, 44% of all new world species of mammals, and an estimated 38% of neotropical amphibians.

Sucre

Nicknamed ‘The White City’ Sucre is a city in the southern highlands of Bolivia, it is the capital of Bolivia, the capital of the Chuquisaca Department and the 6th most populated city in Bolivia. Top of the highlights list for Sucre is the whitewashed Casa de la Libertad, where Bolivia’s Declaration of Independence was signed, it houses galleries related to the city’s past as the national capital. The region is also a cultural crossroad for the indigenous communities who maintain a strong identity, many still using the Quechua language (an indigenous language spoken by the Quechua peoples). The architectural heritage and the millenarian history of the Charcas region has led to Sucre’s designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Jesuit Mission in Santa Cruz

The plains of Chiquitos are among the most revered places in the department of Santa Cruz for its cultural and natural value, it offers a beautiful evergreen landscape. Here one can find the Jesuit Missions of Chiquitos, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1990. The churches that have been rebuilt here are a stunning architectural Jesuit representation of the Mestizo Baroque style. Together, they are home to an impressive collective of more than 500 baroque music scores: a precious legacy of their colonial history.

Potosi

Also called the Imperial City of Charles V, Potosi is a colonial city with an extremely rich history. It is the second highest city in Bolivia, after El Alto (4150m), and the first Bolivian city to be declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Potosi offers visitors a different perspective on colonial history and legacy. A highlight for many visitors is the ‘Real Casa de Moneda’ (Mint of Potosí). Build between 1753 and 1773, this institution was instrumental in the development and sustainability of the Spanish Crown. Today, visitors can enjoy a museum that has different galleries dedicated to paint, art, history, and machinery used to fabricate coins.

Tourist Destination Highlights

About Venezuela

La Restinga National Park on Margarita Island is located on the passage to the Macanao Peninsula and is a vast expanse of mangrove fields and countless small canals that can be navigated by canoe. Many birds, including flamingos, nest here.

The triangle of the islands of Isla Margarita, Coché and Cubagua is located in the Caribbean dry belt, so the landscape is mainly characterized by semi-desert cactus and thorny scrub forests. Margarita has been called the Caribbean’s best-kept secret.
Venezuela is an amazing country full of natural beauty, stretching from the coast to the Andes, with national parks, vast alluvial areas, rainforests, and a quaint region of mountains. In the north of the country, the vast Caribbean coast, with its beautiful beaches and island archipelagos such as Los Roques, fascinates tourists. The pristine 300 km wide Orinoco River Delta with its rich fauna and flora can be easily visited from Margarita Island. Angel Falls, the highest waterfall on the planet, located deep in the enchanting jungle, is a must-see in Venezuela.

Margarita Island in the state of Nueva Esparta is located 38 kilometers off the coast of Venezuela. Thanks to its variety of beaches, it is considered an ideal destination for all kinds of water sports. Travelers who come to Margarita Island will certainly fall in love with the beautiful beaches and enjoy their vacation in comfortable hotels.

Margarita Island

The island is a 45-minute flight from Caracara Airport to La Cruz. Covering an area of 930 square kilometers, with a coastline stretching 244 kilometers, Margarita Island boasts a large number of beaches (both wild and tranquil) in the Caribbean, second only to the giant Cuba. The island has a tropical climate, characterized by humidity and wind, with moderate temperatures ranging from 25-30ºC (78-86ºF). Margarita's highlights include El Yaque Beach, which is considered one of the top three places in the world for windsurfing, and frequently hosts international competitions. Additionally, the island is home to two national parks and three national reserves.

Los Roques

Located just a 45-minute flight from Margarita Island (Porlamar) or Caracas, this fantastic and unique archipelago is situated 156 km off the coast in the Caribbean Sea. The island covers approximately 2,300 sq. km and is protected by a coral reef barrier stretching 24 km, composed of about 340 coral bridges and islets. On Los Roques, there is an important biological station where you can see the cultivation of sea turtles, lobsters, and "botuto" (giant sea snails).

Orinoco Delta

The Orinoco Delta covers an area of approximately 25,000 square kilometers and consists of an endless network of channels flowing into the Atlantic Ocean along a coastline of about 360 kilometers. The delta is home to the Warao indigenous people ("canoe people"), the second-largest indigenous group in Venezuela with around 24,000 members. You can board a local boat called Falca and embark on a cruise through the authentic Atlantic rainforest along wide and narrow channels deep into the jungle. Along the way, you'll visit authentic Warao stilt houses, where you can see and purchase handcrafted items directly from the artisans, including hammocks, baskets, canoes, wooden bird and animal carvings, necklaces, and more.

Kanaima

Kavak National Park is a vast national park spanning 30,000 square kilometers, roughly the size of Switzerland. It is located on the Table Mountain ("Tepui" in the language of the Pemon indigenous people) in the Venezuelan region, at altitudes ranging from 450 to 2,810 meters. The park is home to the world-famous "Crystal Mountain," Roraima Tepui, an ancient formation estimated to be around 2 billion years old (Precambrian Era). The park also features Angel Falls, the highest waterfall in the world. Lake Canaima is perfect for relaxing, swimming, and enjoying the jungle. You can take local canoes to explore the picturesque waters of the lake and nearby rivers, which are tinted a reddish hue.

The Andes

Just an hour's flight from Caracas, you'll find yourself at the northern end of the great Andes mountain range. Protected by eight major national parks and three natural monuments, and with the diligent care of its inhabitants, the Venezuelan Andes are a top destination for nature and adventure tours. The region offers everything from lush tropical rainforests and cloud forests to snow-capped peaks, known locally as Páramos. Ethnographically, the mountains and the Andean region are dotted with small towns where residents continue to practice the ancient agricultural traditions of their pre-Columbian ancestors, the Timoto-Cuicas. Mérida's cable car, the longest and highest in the world, starts on the slopes of Pico Bolívar and reaches Pico Espejo at an altitude of 4,800 meters (15,725 feet).

Los Llanos

An hour's flight from Caracas is Los Llanos (the Savanna), which covers the entire central region of Venezuela, about one-third of the country's territory. Los Llanos is sparsely populated, and its inhabitants, known as Llaneros, are hardy and resilient people accustomed to hard work, yet they are also very friendly hosts. Los Llanos is the largest wildlife habitat in Venezuela, especially for birds, which either live here year-round or migrate seasonally to nest and raise their young, including species from as far away as Alaska and Canada. The region is home to around 350 bird species and 50 mammal species.

About Argentina

Argentina, located in the southern part of South America, is one of the largest countries in the world, with an amazing variety of landscapes and a very rich biodiversity, that goes from Amazon jungle, to canyons, snowed pick mountains, endless wetlands and plains, glaciers, and beaches. The passion of tango and the smell of sizzling steaks go hand in hand with mighty glaciers, ice-blue lakes and thundering waterfalls. During your trip to Argentina, you will experience stunning natural wonders and Latin American hospitality. The Argentines are known for their passionate souls but also their relaxed lifestyle – a mixture that is contrary and unique as the country itself.

No other country in South America is so influenced by Europeans as Argentina. Since the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century, the continent has been a popular destination for European emigrants and Argentina has long played an important role in the continent’s history. Following three centuries of Spanish colonization, Argentina declared independence in 1816, and Argentine nationalists were instrumental in revolutionary movements elsewhere, a fact that prompted 20th-century writer Jorge Luis Borges to observe, “South America’s independence was, to a great extent, an Argentine enterprise.”
Almost all Argentines are descendants of immigrants from Europe, and Argentine culture is a lively blend of European costums and Latin American innovations. Whereas earlier generations of intellectuals, writers, filmmakers, and artists looked to European models, the country has developed artistic forms that are uniquely Argentine. Most famously the tango, Argentina’s great cultural hybrids, a music style and dance that emerged from the poor immigrant quarters of Buenos Aires toward the end of the 19th century and quickly became famous around the world as a symbol of Argentine culture.

“Daily life in Argentina’s cities is much as it is in those of southern Europe: businesses and shops open early, close for a long break at midday, and stay open into the evening; social life takes place both in the streets and in lively bars and nightclubs; and meals are an opportunity for convivial exchanges. Argentinians have a passion for beef cooked on the grill, which is preferred to other meats and fish. Buenos Aires is renowned for its steakhouses. Maté, the native tealike beverage brewed from yerba maté leaves, is popular in the countryside and is drunk from a gourd through a strainer; it is either sipped individually or shared in an important social ritual. Moreover, Argentina is one of the largest wine producers in the world, and its varietal red wines are highly prized by connoisseurs, though most production goes toward supplying high domestic consumption.”

Buenos Aires City

The vibrant city awaits for all visitors to fall in love with it. As second biggest city in South America one can find here an unique European style and a wide variety of options to do an see. Don’t miss La Boca, the most colourful neighbourhood of the city.

The stunning UNESCO World Heritage Site lies along Argentina’s border with Brazil and is undoubtably a must see when visiting the country. Depending on the season, the Iguazu is made up of between 150 to 300 individual waterfalls.

Salta City

Located in the Northwest of Argentina, this city is nicknamed as Salta La Linda (or ‘”Salta the Pretty”) for a reason. The cityscape in this beautiful colonial town is shaped by cobblestone streets, numerous statues, and Spanish architecture. But also the region itself, with colorful mountain ranges of the Andean highlands in the West and the fertile plains in the East, is defintely worth seeing.

Mendoza

The wine capital of Argentina and one of the most beautiful cities. Art-lovers can find Art Deco architecture here, for outdoor enthusiasts the city is popular in winter as it is in summer. That is among others because of the 6.960-meter-tall Aconcagua mountain – a paradise for hikers and climbers.

Worth seeing is also the “End of the World Lighthouse”, San Juan de Salvamento Lighthouse, which was built in 1884 already.

Bariloche

and the Route of the Seven Lakes. This small mountain village has become famous as the entrance gate to Argentine Patagonia. Also, it is an El dorado for skiing and snowboarding. The scenic Route of the Seven Lakes (which takes around an hour) winding its way through green valleys and around the namesake azure lakes, facing natural parks, snow-capped mountains and abundant waterfalls along the way.

Cordoba

Puerto Madryn

and the Valdés Peninsula. The Golfo Nuevo bay is an almost natural amphitheatre, with hills all around that are reminiscent of deserts. Guided tours through the reserve are a must, where one can see everything from right wales, elephant seals, sea lions, and orcas. It’s also an important breeding ground for migratory shorebirds, in particular Magellanic penguins.
