The Best Tours of South America

Having set your sights on this rich and vibrant continent, filled with sounds, images and sights, you now need to find the best tour of South America available. Selecting the best tours of South America is as much about your own interests as the tour companies. There is so much to see and do and so little time to discover it all. What counts is that you get to feel and touch as much of this part of the world as you possibly can. Finding a tour company that promises just that will give you the best return for your time and money.

Any visit to this part of the world has to include time in Buenos Aires. This beautiful city is famous for its food, fashion and culture. In fact some refer to it as the Paris of the Americas for precisely that reason.

Lima is also a must see, with its history and amazing remains. Known as the city of kings, this city and the surrounding areas is known for its Spanish history, from its founding years in the 1500′s. The architecture is timelessly beautiful, mixed with the modern buzz of the city.

If you are a wine lover you’ll enjoy Mendoza, where the pace is a little slower and there are plenty of opportunities to sample the fruits of local vineyards, crushed and fermented. This is the second largest Argentinean city and a popular stop over for those who consider themselves adrenalin junkies, with plenty of outdoor pursuit opportunities surrounding the area.

The well recognised statue of Christ the Redeemer is not the only reason to visit Rio de Janeiro. You’ll want to have packed your sarong and bikini for this part of the journey with the famous party beach Copacabana offering a must swing by experience. This city is in Brazil and home to the music and dance of the Samba. This is a party city that never sleeps.

Of course this is only a fraction of what is on offer in this diverse, lush and culture filled continent. The sights, the sounds, the music, the food, the people and the history all create a magical journey that is yours to experience. The main language is Spanish, though it is spoken with a different accent in each country or province along with plenty of local dialects. Some locals can also speak Italian and Portuguese along with, of course, some English.

When selecting from tours of South America, find the one that sits best with you and your personal interests and you’ll be on your way to having a holiday of a lifetime.
