South and Central America South and Central America is a region surely for the more adventurous and seasoned traveller. Brazil is the continent’s largest country, and offers the excitement of Rio de Janeiro, a visit to the awe-inspiring Iguassu Falls, a cruise trip up the mighty Amazon to experience the sights and sounds of the rainforest, and relaxation on the beaches of Natal. Argentina will bring out the Latin in you, with Tango dancing in Buenos Aires, cattle ranching, wine tours, and back to nature in the Patagonia region with lakes, mountains and glaciers. Peru has an endless appeal with a range of natural and man-made wonders. Ancient civilisations have left their mark all over the country with The Inca’s Machu Picchu being the most famous. To the east of the country, the mountains give way to the dense vegetation and rich fauna of the Amazon Basin. Ecuador is the tiny neighbour to Peru, but exhibits just as diverse a landscape and attractions, with rainforest, volcanoes and lush coastal areas. Ecuador is also the main departure point for trips to the Galapagos Islands, one of the World’s greatest destinations for nature lovers.
