What should I see in South America?

Question

When you go to Europe, there are those "must sees" like the Eiffel Tower and the Coliseum. I know that there are a ton of things to see other places in the world, but they are not as highly publicized. I will be traveling to South America next summer and need some advice on the things that I cannot leave the continent without seeing. Specifically, I will be going to Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina, and Chile. If anyone has any advice for me, I would love to hear it. Thank you in advance!!! :)

Answer 1

Well the most interesting place in South America is Peru, the country is divided in 3 regions very different betweeneach other.

there is the Coast ( near the Pacific Ocean) where is the Capital Lima (  big city , plenty of night entertainment places to go, you gonna eat very  well).

at south of Lima there's Ica where you can find the Nazca Lines, ( you know those huges drawing perfectly done, that you can see from the sky).

then the region Andes, where you can find the City of Cuzco

(great city with a lot of young tourist from all over the world) the capital of the Incas empire, 4 hour by train from Cuzco 3400 mts. is the amazing city of Macchu Picchu  2 600 mts

(best place I've ever been, so surreal).

then you can go to Puno ( where is the highest lake of the world "TITICACA")more o less 300 meters of high,there are a lot of islands, and there is one made of straw, is so amazing.

then you can go to the rain forest / the amazon, you can stay in a hotel in the middle of the Amazon where you can get only by boat and where is not electric light, and you can make night tours with a guide around the amazon, is very safe an a unique experience,

enjoy your trip.

Answer 4

In Peru, you should go to Machu Pichu, thats alll i know about Peru

I know nothing about Ecuador, Bolivia, & Paraguay

in Uruguay, there is this little trendy town by the beach called "Punta Del Este" its a town filled with tourists and its supposed to be really fun, altho if u are going in the summer it will be winter there, so itll probably be cold and deserted, but i'd still check out

In Brazil you need to go to Fernando De Noronha (its a beach) and Rio de Janeiro and the beaches in Bahia

in Chile you need to go to Valparaiso, and go skiing in the Andes

in Argentina u need to go to Buenos Aires
