From lush rainforest and majestic mountains to otherworldly glaciers and a wonderful abundance of exotic wildlife, a cruise of South America provides the chance to see nature at its most dramatic.
This vast continent is a dream destination for many travellers; and with good reason. The scenery is not only breathtaking, it is also brilliantly diverse, offering the chance to see everything from volcanoes to pristine white-sand beaches. Although there is certainly a wealth of natural wonders to enjoy, there are plenty of enchanting man-made sights, too. Those with a penchant for history are sure to be astounded by the picturesque colonial towns and magnificent Mayan ruins that are dotted throughout the region. From Brazil's Christ the Redeemer to Machu Picchu in Peru, this enthralling continent is a photographer's dream.
Of course, there is much more to South America than its spectacular scenery. The region is rich in culture and heritage, offering the chance to spot both Spanish and African influences. With bustling markets to wander through, delicious local cuisine to taste, and toe-tapping samba to enjoy, the region is a real feast for the senses. A cruise of South America is also sure to be a delight for animal lovers. With jaguars, sloths, capybaras, howler monkeys, sea turtles and toucans all calling the region home, it is one of the best places on the planet for a spot of wildlife watching.
