  Information
South America is so full of wonders that it is nearly impossible to list all possible highlights. In the following pages we will try to take your hand in a journey that spans many centuries...

Experience history as glorious temples and ruined, jungle covered lost cities appear in front of your eyes. Walk in the rainforest to admire the splendid orchids and bromeliads and listed to the "chant of nature". Revel in the sophistication of cities like Rio de Janeiro, Santiago and Buenos Aires, the Paris of South America. Go whale and penguin watching in southern Argentina.

To this continent we offer a wide range of touring possibilities as archeological treasures are unearthed each day reflecting many of the oldest and some of the most cultured civilizations which existed long before Christ.

The land is awesome: majestic, snow-capped peaks in the Andes mountains, lush and impenetrable jungles in the north, sweeping desert plains on the west, the Atacama Desert, acknowledged as the driest desert on the planet, its sands hiding archaeological treasures and one of the richest copper mines in the world.

The true force of nature makes itself known in Patagonia. The surprising cold-temperate jungle with its araucaria forests give way to the Patagonian steppe while the territory fragments into tiny islands, fjords, channels, lakes and glaciers. It is one of the few places left on earth where pioneers and legends still coexist within a surreal landscape - it is the end of the world - where the Andes disappear into the sea.

And there is more: from the South Pole, which can be visited for a few weeks during the summer months, to Easter Island, lost in the immense pacific Ocean. From the revelry of New Year to the fantastic celebration of Carnival, Brazil acts as the most festive of these countries, a magic land where drumbeats call everyone to worship or to revel with contagious rhythms that sets everybody dancing. All of this and more makes South America an incredible destination and a visitor's must!
