Exciting Places To Visit On A Latin America Adventure Travel

By Christine Burns


Many travel enthusiasts regard South America as the Mecca of travel destinations. With lots of awe inspiring sites to explore, it is easy to understand why many regard it as such. The following are some of the locations you should include in your itinerary during your Latin America adventure travel.

Among the most visited countries in this beautiful continent are Bolivia, Ecuador, Uruguay, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Brazil and Argentina. The Inca trail located in Peru is the first site on the list. It lies atop the Andes Mountains. The trail is part of the ancient Inca city of Machu Picchu.

Its beauty is what makes it unique. There is an air of mystery that also surrounds its location and complex design. Many find it a mystery why the locals went to such lengths to construct the city in such as remote area. Navigating the trail can be a challenging affair, which is why many adventurers like to visit it.

The continent is also famous for the Amazon. Almost every accomplished adventurer has explored this gem. In total, the Amazon ecosystem is estimated to traverse nine countries in a distance of 5.5 million square kilometers. It is also said to host thirty percent of all the plant and animal species in the world.

The ecosystem consists of a main river and a dense jungle. The Amazon River cruises through the jungle past an array of countries. The river is home to the most diverse species of fish and snakes in the world. When you climb up the tall tree canopies that dot the rainforest, you get to see a once in a lifetime view of the surrounding ecosystem.

Away from the beauty of the Amazon, the border of Brazil and Argentina is home to the Iguazu Falls. The expansive rows of waterfalls make for a sight to behold. There is an adrenaline inducing effect that comes from hearing the thunderous roar of the falls. The cascades stretch for about three kilometers through the jungle. Thankfully, you can watch this wonder safely from a close up position thanks to the vast network of boardwalks set along the sides.

Bolivia is also not left behind. The Uyuni Salt Flats is one gem that the nation prides itself with. This site used to be a lake that occupied a vast proportion of the southwestern part of Bolivia. During rainfall, the vast white plain turns into some sort of expansive mirror. It often looks like something out of a science fiction movie.

Most adventurists also often tour the Galapagos Islands. A diverse range of birds and marine animals roam the islands. Travelers often love interacting with the playful sea lions and tortoises. The islands are surrounded by crystal clear waters that are great for snorkeling. The iguanas and penguins also make for an interesting site.

Rio de Janeiro should be the hallmark of your tour. A popular local attraction is the Copacabana beach. It is often flocked by visiting tourists. The city is renowned for the Christ the Redeemer statue, a divine looking monument situated at the nearby Corcovado Mountain.
