South America Hotels
Nestled between the Caribbean, the South Pacific, and the South
Atlantic Oceans, South America is the wilder of the Americas and
a continent of superlatives.
The world's biggest rainforest and second longest river (Amazon),
the second highest mountain range (the Andes), remote islands (Galapagos
Islands, Easter Island and Fernando de Noronha), heavenly beaches
(such as in Brazil's Northeastern region), wide deserts (Atacama),
icy landscapes (Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego), the world's tallest
waterfall (the 979m Angel Falls, in Venezuela) and one of the largest
(Igua?u Falls, Argentina and Brazil), as well as several other breathtaking
natural attractions.
Besides, the work of man has also left rare gems on the continent:
ruins of ancient civilizations (Machu Picchu and other Inca cities;
the Moais in Easter Island) share the continent with world-class
metropolises (S?o Paulo,Buenos Aires, Rosario, Santiago de Chile,
and Rio de Janeiro), outstanding modern architecture (Brasilia),
European architecture (Buenos Aires), the oldest rock paintings
in the Americas (at the Serra da Capivara), strong African heritage
(in Salvador Rio and Montevideo), genuine indigenous (Bel?m, Manaus,
Cuzco, Lima, La Paz) and Eastern culture (S?o Paulo's enormous Japanese
community), mingled with the fingerprints of Iberian colonizers.
Ushuaia, the world's southernmost city and some of its biggest festivities,
such as Rio's Carnival and Belem's Cirio de Nazar?, the Tango World
Championship, and the Vendimia festival in Argentina, are also part
of this incredibly diverse and attractive continent.
