Home to the world’s biggest rainforest, largest river and tallest waterfall, South America is a continent of dizzying natural splendor.
The colliding cultures of its indigenous people and its Spanish colonisers have given South America a fascinatingly eclectic man-made landscape. One of its great cities is a stylish, sprawling modern metropolis, famous across the globe for its carnival and beaches. The other is a mystical complex of 15th century Incan ruins, which was hidden from the outside world for more than three centuries.
Brightly coloured, fun-loving carnival queen Brazil has a wonderfully varied landscape. Its most famous city, Rio de Janeiro, sits at the confluence of mountains, beaches and rainforests.

There’s also lots to learn including how to mix the perfect caipirinha to how to dance the samba. The country’s natural wonders include Tijuca National Park, home to capuchin monkeys, coatis and toucans, and Iguassu Falls, a two-mile torrent on the Iguassu River, made up of more than 250 separate cascades.
Separated by the Andes, Argentina and Chile form the southern portion of South America, but are two very different countries. Argentina is dramatic, artistic and European.
