Peru Be Perplexed

Once home to the largest empire in the world, Peru is blessed with a rich and ancient past. Must-dos: The markets and ruins of Cuzco; Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail - Lost City of the Incas, need we say more; the breathtakingly beautiful Lake Titicaca; one of the world's greatest archaeological mysteries - the Nazca Lines; the town of Arequipa, framed by smouldering volcanoes; and the spectacular Cordillera Blanca mountain range.

Brazil Experience Diversity

Wonderful Brazil encompasses more than half of the total landmass of South America. Must-dos: One of the world's most beautiful cities, Rio de Janeiro, with its wide expanse of stunning beaches and mountains, not to mention the beautiful nature of its local people known as cariocas; Rio Carnival; mysterious Salvador's Bahaian festivals; the Pantanal wetlands; and Foz do Iguacu Falls.

Chile Reach the Extremes

When you think of Chile, think geographic and climatic extremes. This 4300km stretch of land is nestled between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean. Must-dos: Trek to peaks and glaciers in Torres del Paine, immerse yourself in the green of the Lake District, visit the stormy plains in Tierra del Fuego and see for miles across the Atacama Desert, a spectacle of pastel salt flats and fuming geysers, adobe villages and welcoming oases.

Argentina Be Awestruck

A country rich in contrasts, Argentina offers the visitor a wide variety of cultural attractions and an array of natural wonders. Must-dos: Exciting and cosmopolitan Buenos Aires; icebergs and hikes in Southern Patagonia; the recreational paradise of the Lake District; and the thundering cascades of Iguazu Falls, a spectacle of more than 270 waterfalls, over 3km wide and 100m high.

Ecuador Explore the Exciting

One of the gems of South America, Ecuador has many diverse and stunning highlights. Must-dos: Experience the ecological paradise of Galapagos Islands, wander the splendid colonial streets of Cuenca, act like Indiana Jones in The Oriente, and do the Quilotoa loop - a spectacular high-Andean road filled with adventure.

Bolivia Be Bowled Over

Landlocked by five other countries in the heart of South America, Bolivia has five distinct geographical areas. The people of Bolivia have remained the most cultural of all in the continent due to its relative isolation. Must-dos: The hallucinogenic salt deserts of Salar de Uyuni; Lake Titicaca island hopping; breathtaking vistas on the Choro trek and 'the world's most dangerous road'; the lush rainforests; and riverboat trips of the Amazon Basin jungle and pampas.
