Top Places To Go On A Latin America Adventure Travel

By Christine Burns


Travel enthusiasts often regale at the thought of visiting South America. The continent has got no shortage of naturally attractive exploration sites, which explains the seemingly great adoration it often gets. You might want to include the following locations in your Latin America adventure travel itinerary.

Among the highly trafficked nations in the continent include Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay and Colombia. The Inca trail in Peru kicks off this list. This awe inspiring site is situated at the top of the Andes Mountains. It lies within what was once the Inca city of Machu Picchu.

Its beauty is what makes it unique. There is an air of mystery that also surrounds its location and complex design. Many find it a mystery why the locals went to such lengths to construct the city in such as remote area. Navigating the trail can be a challenging affair, which is why many adventurers like to visit it.

The continent is also famous for the Amazon. Almost every accomplished adventurer has explored this gem. In total, the Amazon ecosystem is estimated to traverse nine countries in a distance of 5.5 million square kilometers. It is also said to host thirty percent of all the plant and animal species in the world.

Its ecosystem comprises a rainforest and a large river. The Amazon River courses its way through the rainforest and via nine countries. It hosts many fish and snake species, making it the most diverse habitat worldwide. From the tall canopies dotting the jungle, you can see an unhindered view of the ecosystem below.

The Iguazu Fall, another interesting site, can be found at the Brazilian and Argentinean border. The imposing size of the waterfalls always leaves one in awe. There is a fear element that creeps in you as you listen to the cascading waterfalls roar. The cascades travel for 3 kilometers via the jungle. The best part of it all is that one need not stand far to watch the waterfalls thanks to the intricately constructed boardwalks close by.

Bolivia is a great tourist country too. The prime gem of the country is the Uyuni Salt Flats. It sits on a large swath of land in southwest Bolivia that was once occupied by a prehistoric lake. Whenever it rains, the never ending white landscape gets converted into a big mirror. The site often resembles a scene from a science fiction film.

Many adventurists also like to explore the Galapagos Islands. The islands are home to lots of spectacular marine species and birds. Many travel to get up close and personal with the playful tortoises and sea lions. The surrounding waters are also crystal clear, which makes for a perfect snorkeling opportunity. The penguins and iguanas are also incredible to watch.

Rio de Janeiro should be the hallmark of your tour. A popular local attraction is the Copacabana beach. It is often flocked by visiting tourists. The city is renowned for the Christ the Redeemer statue, a divine looking monument situated at the nearby Corcovado Mountain.
