As seen on : Andean Explorer Train Journey - La Raya
With culture, excitement and adventure all packed into one continent, South America is one of the wildest and most incredible places on the planet to travel to. From resorts to rainforests and some of the most beautiful cities in the world, there is something and everything for you to experience during your stay.
Buenos Aires
The largest city in Argentina, you won't find anywhere better to experience culture and nightlife than in the home of the Tango. Different sections of the city offer unique flavours from rich history in San Telmo to upscale outdoor cafes and luxurious hotels in Recoleta.
Rio de Janeiro
Possibly the most recognisable city in South America, Brazil's capital, Rio de Janeiro, home to Christ the Redeemer, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Beautiful beaches that draw tourists from all over and the street carnivals that seem to explode into the city are just two of Rio's many highlights.
The Amazon
It might not be everybody's ideal holiday, but for those with a sense of adventure who want to experience the excitement of the rain forest and don't mind the lack of hotel comfort, an Amazon eco tour or even the far more luxurious river cruise is unforgettable. Whether it's a day or a two week expedition, you'll experience nature like nowhere else on the planet.
Bogota
The largest city in Colombia and the country's capital, Bogota is an incredible mix of traditional culture and contemporary urban development. Large high-rise buildings tower over next-door churches and the city is home to a number of theatres and universities. Bogota is a spectacular place for tourists interested in culture and arts.
Salvador
The largest city on Brazil's northern coast, Salvador's beaches and large hotels are major tourist destinations. If you're looking for beautiful oceans and warm blue skies, you've found the right place - Salvador is the perfect place to get out on the water to go swimming, sailing and diving. There's nothing better than exploring the city and exploring the waters of Salvador.
Santiago
A cosmopolitan city with a great number of restaurants and bars, a vibrant nightlife and opportunities for shopping, cycling and some incredible urban exploring; the capital of Chile has it all. Any tourist will enjoy the modern luxuries and the contrasting historic features of Santiago.
Sao Paulo
Sao Paulo is Brazil's largest city. It boasts a strong focus on commerce and finance, home to the Sao Paulo Stock Exchange, as well as arts and culture. Like a lot of South American cities, modern high-rise developments contrast strongly with historic buildings and monuments. The city is home to a number of different annual events, film festivals and art shows. You'll never be at a loss for things to do during your visit.
Quito
Ecuador's capital does a fantastic job of combining the exciting and modern with a traditional, relaxed lifestyle. Quito is where travellers can find shopping malls clashing with the old architecture of the Historic Centre and several, gorgeous Churches. Take time to visit the museums in between the restaurants and cafes; you'll love the city's rich history.
Machu Picchu
Peru is a beautiful country known for its exciting geography and historic traces of the Inca civilisation. Machu Picchu is a 15th century Inca site with its buildings restored and cared for to provide travellers a better insight into the lost empire of the Incans. Accessible by train and helicopter, Machu Picchu is one of South America's absolute must visits.
Lima
The starting point for many looking to explore Peru, Lima is the country's capital brimming with luxurious accommodation options, cafes and restaurants. If you're looking to relax a little during your stay, there's no place better - enjoy the bars and nightlife in the evening and the historic centres, museums and galleries during the day.
