The south is where you’ll find some of its most spectacular scenery, from verdant vineyards as far as the eye can see to one side of the mighty Iguazu Falls – the world’s largest system of cascades. The city of Rio de Janeiro is also well worth a visit; famed for its 38m Christ the Redeemer statue and bustling Copacabana beach, you’re guaranteed a great time.

Head to South America and you must visit Iguacu Falls. Here, more than 275 waterfalls combine to create a landscape that is simply jaw-dropping. The most famous of the falls is Devil's Throat and as the water cascades almost hypnotically over the edge the sound that surrounds you is thunderous.
Perhaps one of the most iconic sights to visit on a tour to Brazil is the statue of Christ the Redeemer - it's no surprise that it's one of the modern seven wonders of the world as this imposing statue watches over the city of Rio. But it's not just the statue that is worth the visit - the ride up the cog railway and views across to Sugar Loaf Mountain and the bay are mesmerising.

Brazilian cuisine is strongly influenced by Portugal. The national dish of Brazil is feijoada which is traditionally served on Saturdays at lunchtime. This consists of black beans, sausage, beef and pork which are all served with rice. The national drink in Brazil is ‘caipiriaha’. This is a type of cocktail made of crushed lime, sugar and pinga, a spirit made from sugar cane.
Brazil has four official time zones, the standard zone covering north, north eastern, south and south eastern regions, and includes Rio de Janeiro. Brazil uses daylight saving time, which means they are 4 hours behind GMT from October to March.
The currency in Brazil is the Real (R$).
Of course, you don’t need a reason to visit one of the most vibrant cities on the planet, but in case you wanted one, we’ve got five…
From verdant valleys to colourful canyons; geysers to glaciers; the Atacama Desert to the Amazon rainforest – wherever you go in South America, you’re never short of stunning natural scenery that’ll take your breath away.
Three members of the Travelsphere team tell us about their favourite destinations in Central and South America.
Travel writer, Samantha Wilson, describes her journey through three contrasting countries – from tango dancers and gaucho cowboys, to glacial wilderness and serene vineyards.
Argentina is a country like no other. As famous for its tantalising tango music as it is for its beef cattle, escorted tours to Argentina are a great way to discover all this diverse land has to offer. If you love landscapes, Argentina is the place for you; with terrain encompassing the Andes mountains, glacial lakes and vast Pampas grassland, there’s plenty for the avid nature lover to enjoy.
Peru is pretty impressive, even if we do say so ourselves. Home to the ancient Incan city of Machu Picchu high in the Andes mountains, it’s easy to feel close to nature here. Peru is a complex country; a mix of sacred sites belonging to ancient civilisations and well-preserved colonial architecture, you really get a sense of heritage everywhere you go.
South Africa is a vision of beauty and tranquillity. With the glorious Table Mountain rising as a breath-taking backdrop to all of Cape Town, along with many other sights standing out in the country’s more rural areas, you’re all but guaranteed to enjoy your time here.
