South America Vacations & Packages

South America enchants adventure seekers with ancient civilizations like Machu Picchu, the glaciers of Patagonia and the Amazonian rainforests. Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro and Bogota offer local culture with a metropolitan flair and the rhythms of salsa, samba and Argentinian tango.

In South America, the weather is so varied depending on if you are relaxing on the beaches of Brazil, where the climate is temperate year round, or hiking the Andes mountains, which are home to snow-capped peaks and rainforests. Travelers who are planning mostly outdoor activities should do additional research to determine which conditions and seasons best suit their travel needs.
