Can anyone recommend good places to visit in South America and why? |
Travel Info I'd like to go off the beaten track as well as the popular places. Travel Tips This is what I wrote to another person in this same category. It will give you a glimpse of all the places I could recommend you to visit. Why these? well, you cannot see everything in one visit so I'll start with these and then go on to others. I'll try and make it short: Peru: Machu Picchu in Cuzco, lake Titicaca in Puno, Caral (the oldest city in all Latin America). Chile: easter island and its Moais, Atacama desert, Lakes and fiords in the south, Torres del Paine (south in Punta Arenas) Ecuador: galapagos islands, equator line. Uruguay: Punta del este (famous seaside resort) Paraguay: Misiones churches from the Jesuits. Argentina: pampas, estancias, Patagonia region, Mendoza. Colombia: Cathedral of salt near Bogota. Venezuela: parque nacional Morrocoy. Brazil: Rio, Buzios, Angra, Bahia. I could probably go on forever, this is just a very short glimpse of the beauty of south America, and I even didn't finish with all the south american countries! Others Off the beaten track would be Curtiba, Brazil, also Iguassu Falls, which is where Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay all come together. These are all inland. So. America's a big country, you may wish to consider Peru, Chile, Bolivia...........you need to narrow your choices down to get better information. "El Salto Angel" the world麓s tallest waterfall is in Venezuela in the amazon jungle. Venezuela also has beautiful beaches like the ones in the Morrocoy Keys, Los Roques and Margarita Islands just to name a few. Recently I went to a small village called Chuao of the coasts of Aragua where they have a cocoa plantation and have many traditional religious festivities like the dancing devils. mmm Cartagena!!! you will love it!! you can relax, forget about everything and Cartagena is well known as one of the most beautiful cities in the world..Bogota is really cultural, too much museums(the best gold museum in latin america), San gil, Santander, San gil is the xtrem city. Montenegro, there is a park called parque del cafe, a few minutes away from Armenia. San Andres...san andres is an island known as the city with the sea of the 7 colors...i will never end...so go to Colombia, you wouldnt want to come back!! good luck I'll suggest you to go to Colombia. There you can find everything. If you like the beach, go to San Andr茅s, Cartagena or Santa Marta. If you prefer mountains, go to Bogot谩 or Tunja. If you wanna know more about coffee, visit the "Coffee-Zone" (Manizales, Pereira and Armenia). If you wanna know a very traditional city, go to Pasto....... Anyway, you should think first in what do you want, then look for it in Colombia. There are many beautiful places in South America. In Brazil, there are beautiful beaches: http://www.elitebrasil.com.br/riodejanei... In Argentina, you will find places like this. Ushuaia: http://www.cabosandiego.com.ar/images/us...
