When it comes to adventure travel, nothing beats “South America”! In South America, you can journey from ancient civilizations to modern carnivals, and from tropical rainforests to glaciers…

In the movie "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark," the adventure king Indiana Jones ventures deep into the mountains of Peru to discover Machu Picchu, home to the most well-preserved Inca ruins.

Also known as the “Lost City of the Incas,” Machu Picchu features stunning megalithic architecture such as temples, palaces, altars, terraces, and drainage systems built on cliffs. The breathtaking views from the ancient city overlook the beautiful canyon landscape, with adorable llamas and alpacas grazing nearby—truly capturing the essence of ancient civilization.

Surrounded by the Andes Mountains in South America, the ancient city of Cusco houses the enduring Temple of the Sun, preserving the original tightly fitted stone structures that showcase the grandeur of the Inca Empire. In the city center’s Plaza de Armas, the Spanish-built cathedral remains a prominent landmark and a great spot for a historical journey.

Peru has even more to offer: Lake Titicaca, the world’s highest-altitude lake; the Nazca Lines, prehistoric geoglyphs sprawled across the plains; and the Maras salt pans and Moray circular terraces—each site is a marvel to behold.

Peru’s neighbor, Brazil, boasts the longest coastline in the world. Rio de Janeiro, formed by a natural harbor, has become this stunning coastal port city. The most iconic event in Rio is the Carnival, arguably the wildest party on Earth. The four-day, four-night non-stop music and dance extravaganza is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, especially with the jaw-dropping performances of the winning Carnival teams—unimaginably playful and festive.

The Amazon River basin, known as the “Lungs of the Earth,” spans eight South American countries. From the unique city of Iquitos, you can take in the pristine rainforest scenery along both riverbanks. The dense foliage stirs the adventurous spirit, and cruising along the river by boat reveals thousands of shades of green weaving into a thick jungle curtain—an awe-inspiring sight!

Head to Argentina’s El Calafate, and you’ll feel like you’ve entered another world. The massive, moving Perito Moreno Glacier in the Glaciarium is a monumental work of nature, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981. Take a glacier cruise to witness the breathtaking expanse of ice and listen to the thunderous sound of glacial calving—a feast for both the eyes and ears!
