Scenic City Tour experience

South America's vast collage of sun-drenched cities, jagged mountains, ancient ruins and jungle trails is a dream destination for the adventurous traveller. From joining the tanned crowds on Rio's golden Copacabana beach to exploring ancient Incan ruins scattered across Peru's mist-topped mountains, a tour of South America is an enticing journey of magnificent contrasts.

Thundering Iguassu Falls is one of South America's most admired feats of nature. Crashing down between Brazil and Argentina, this spectacular set of waterfalls is all the more striking thanks to an exotic backdrop of deep forest and vibrant wildlife. Spot monkeys, multicoloured butterflies and even anteaters on Iguassu National Park's leafy jungle trails.

Another of South America's natural attractions is the glistening expanse of Lake Titicaca, bordering Peru and Bolivia. Boats ply the waters of this great lake to reach floating islands made from reeds by the Uros Indians. Discover further South American relics high in the Peruvian Andes. Take a tour of the acclaimed 15th-century Inca site Machu Picchu, and see the sacred temples and intricate stone carvings adorning the verdant mountainside.

For historic landmarks sitting alongside contemporary attractions, explore South America's main cities, each with its own distinct personality. In Brazil, it doesn't get more spectacular than flying into Rio de Janeiro in the daytime. See the outstretched arms of Christ the Redeemer overlooking this animated South American city surrounded by waves of greenery and a crashing blue sea. Samba beats flood from cars and doorways, and Copacabana and Ipanema beaches offer a flamboyant cross section of Brazilian life.

Over in Argentina, Buenos Aires is at its most alluring when evening falls. Restaurants fill with eager diners ready to feast on some of the world's finest red wine and meat, and traditional tango halls and glossy cocktail bars keep all ages revelling until dawn. Further west, in mountainous Chile, Santiago may be less extroverted but there is a wealth of art, historic architecture and culinary offerings to be enjoyed.

Wherever the journey leads, South America never fails to fascinate and whole-heartedly entertain.
