South America
From scenic marvels, unique attractions, urbane cities with distinctive architecture, a mythical history and irrepressible culture, South America can undoubtedly claim to be on the wish-list of many a traveller. The natural wonders, abundant wildlife, breathtaking waterfalls, dense rainforest, the ruins of ancient civilisations and colonial towns at unimaginable altitudes colour the imagination and promise to provide a travel experience like no other.
South America is a continent of many different countries, each rich in cultural and sightseeing opportunities. Some of these countries offer cosmopolitan cities where tourism is well established and accustomed to, while others are progressing in this regard at a slower pace. Travel Associates is able to offer luxury trips to many of the spectacular destinations on offer, providing luxury travel packages, including accommodation at five star resorts, to ensure you receive an unforgettable experience on your long awaited trip to South America.
Argentina
If one country in South America could boast to really offer the most on a luxury trip, this could arguably be Argentina, the second largest country in South America and the eighth largest country in the world. Argentina was placed on the world map largely due its animated political history, revolving around Eva Peron, the second wife of President Juan Domingo Peron, and influential First Lady of Argentina from 1946 until her death in 1952, known essentially for speaking on behalf of labour rights.
However, Argentina can also lay claim to tropical, lush rainforests, swampy lowland forests and upland savannahs, both small towns, offering the opportunity to experience local customs and culture, as well as urbane cities, such as Buenos Aires. Then there is, of course, the awe-inspiring Iguazu Falls on the Parana River.
Brazil
Brazil, the largest country in South America, extending over nearly half the continent, almost always finds itself on the itinerary of every traveller to South America, and this is no accident. Remote beaches, incomparable scenery, vast tropical rain forest, including the Amazon River basin, and, of course, the effervescent Brazilian culture, complete with their colourful festivals, put Brazil firmly on the map for people around the world planning their luxury holiday. Many nature-lovers are surprised to discover that Brazil is, in fact, first in the world for the huge variety of primate amphibian and plant species, third for bird species and fourth for butterfly and reptile species.
Bolivia
Sometimes referred to as the Tibet of South America, Bolivia is increasingly growing in popularity among travellers due to its diverse terrain, including dense rainforest, grassy lowlands, salt plains and vineyards. Discover for yourself why fertile, scenic pockets of this South American country have been compared to the Garden of Eden.
Peru
No visit to South America can be truly complete without a visit to Peru ? home of the ancient Inca Empire that was born in the middle of Lake Titicaca on the Island of the Sun. One of South America's premiere tourist destinations is Machu Picchu, containing the mythical Lost City of the Inca People that will, quite literally (due to the high altitude), take your breath, and your imagination, away!
Now, add the Andes, the Sacred Valley, Amazonian rainforests, coastal wildlife preserves and cosmopolitan cities, and you have a completely unique travel experience.
Chile
Chile offers a lot more than one might ever imagine. An impressive variety of volcanoes, rivers, waterfalls, and the beautiful Lake District ensure Chile gets a good look-in on the itinerary of many South American visitors.
The Galapagos Islands
For a one-of-a-kind luxury cruise, follow the footsteps of Charles Darwin, by boarding the Peregrine Endeavour and explore some of the spectacular Galapagos Islands, a group of volcanic islands distributed around the equator in the Pacific Ocean. The islands contain a myriad of endemic species that contributed to the inception of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, including sea lions, marine iguanas, tortoises, albatrosses, Darwin finches, hawks, and the pink flamingo.
