Visiting South America Vacation Destinations

By Taylor Reaume


Many people are learning about the exciting opportunities that are available in South America vacation destinations. The popularity of such holidays is in part due to their convenience, but there are other benefits as well. For example, seasons are opposite those in the Northern Hemisphere, so you could enjoy summer year round if you prefer. There is a wide range of topography and climate to be found in the continent, so you can pick your preferred activities easily.

The wide range of holiday activities in the Southern Hemisphere Americas is a draw. There are surfing opportunities along the coastline of Chile and Ecuador. There are architectural examples with the historical complexes of ancient Indian cultures, plus the colonial influences of Italy, France and Spain. You can party to your heart's content with tourists from around the world who came to celebrate feast days. Urban shopping opportunities abound, or you might prefer to find a must-have item in a local market.

Brazil has major attractions to draw visitors. There is the Amazon River Basin with all the opportunities to enjoy an eco-vacation. River trips will allow for miles of viewing wildlife that is not seen elsewhere. At the opposite end of the entertainment spectrum is Carnival in Rio de Janeiro. This has been called the greatest mind-blowing celebration on earth. Brazilians and tourists from around the world take part in this annual spring festival.

Ecuador as a holiday spot or retirement spot is a good choice for many people from the Northern Hemisphere. Those interested in an adventure style holiday should look at the 13-island group known as the Galapagos. Although located about six hundred miles off the coast, Ecuador makes a good jumping off point. Visitors can be guided to places where the wildlife can be closely approached.

Argentina is another vast country in this continent. It has many opportunities to enjoy an amazing vacation. Iguazu Falls is a "must see" for visitors. Many visitors consider this waterfall much more impressive than Niagara. If you prefer an urban environment, pay a visit to Buenos Aires where the atmosphere is much like that of Paris, France. The locals and tourists enjoy a coffee at one of the sidewalk cafe and watch passersby.

With over 3000 miles of coastline, you would be assured of finding Chile vacation activities linked to water. There are miles of beaches with opportunities to swim, dive, snorkel and surf to your heart's content. Santiago, with its Mediterranean climate provides a selection of aromatic wines, distinctive handicrafts and appetizing cuisines to enjoy. Wandering through the architecturally exciting streets is enough activity for many vacationers.

In terms of stability, Uruguay is an excellent example. There are many things to draw visitors to the country. The Plaza de Torres in Colonia del Sacramento is one example of architectural designs of interest culturally and historically. In Montevideo, visitors can view examples of Spain and Italy with the architecture.

Choose from several of these South America vacation destinations to enjoy a variety of activities. Alternatively, you may want to focus on a single location and learn it more completely. If you have a lengthy time to vacation, pick a language school location and learn while you visit the area.
