When we think of South America, we recall a kaleidoscope of diverse images...Trekking through Amazon Rainforest, observing wildlife and learning of the medicinal properties of plants...Rediscovering our romantic core on the dance floor of an Argentine Tango parlor... Floating in a hot air balloon over the Inca ruins and Indian villages of the Urubamba Valley, gazing at the snow-capped peaks of the Andes...oaking up Samba rhythms and Bossa Nova melodies in Rio de Janeiro...Staring endlessly at the mountaintop ruins of Machu Picchu and wondering if there is another place on earth quite that magical...Sipping a superb wine in a Chilean vineyard... Hiking over arguably the world’s most beautiful glacier, Perito Moreno, as you listen to the thunderous sound of 100-foot stalactites breaking apart and plunging into Lago Argentino...Strolling through Otavalo’s Indian market, stopping to marvel at intricate weavings displayed in wonderfully colorful stalls... Resting briefly on a tree stump only to have a Galapagos mockingbird land on our knee and stare at us eyeball to eyeball...SWhitewater rafting down the emerald waters of the Petrohue River, passing through Valdivian forests... Feasting on succulent Argentine beef at a 19th century estancia and observing the Gaucho lifestyle up close...and gazing up in awe at Iguacu Falls, one of the true wonders of the world. Now allow yourself to succumb to the spellbinding effects of this wonderfully diverse region!
