Things to Do in South America

Things to do in South America Featured ImageFrom diverse cultures and ancient ruins to epic landscapes and world-class wine regions, South America is one of the most beautiful continents in the world. It’s home to 12 independent countries and 3 overseas territories, each with their own unique heritage and natural treasures.

Take a trip to South America and you’ll be amazed by what you see. Foodies and wine lovers will enjoy trips to places like Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and the Mendoza wine region. Avid hikers and backpackers will fall in love with the Tierra del Fuego (land of fire) in Patagonia. And don’t forget the abounding wildlife found in the Galápagos Islands.  Whether you’re visiting in the summer or the winter (which are flipped in the Southern Hemisphere), there’s no shortage of unique things to do in South America.
