Let’s start with South America!
Visit the Amazon: Whether you want to trek through untamed trails in the jungle or just relax in a hammock surrounded by armies of fearless hummingbirds, Amazon travel offers you an exotic experience that will alter your perception of the natural world. Amazon tours take you down a winding stream in a dugout canoe and lift you high into the rainforest canopy. While in the jungle expect to see howler monkeys and macaws, and possibly the elusive jaguar. Amazon lodges, provide both adventure and serenity: twilight hikes in search of nocturnal creatures, swims in pristine lakes and black water creeks. Amazon travel is all about discovery! Interested in an Amazon River cruise? River cruise ships are specially designed to ply the shallow waters of rivers around the world. These ships offer comfortable cabins with lower beds and private facilities. Some offer luxurious suites and deluxe onboard amenities such as lounges and bars, fitness facilities, and spacious public areas.

Next, let’s introduce you to Argentina: Argentina differs region-to-region, offering a diverse landscape of glaciers, fjords, inlets, lakes, forests, and desert landscapes. Northern Argentina tours showcase unique desert landforms, deep gorges for excellent hiking, and thunderous Iguazu Falls, whose billowing cascades tumble through lush subtropical rainforest. On a southern Argentina tour, you'll greet awe-inspiring scenery at the end of the world, Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, where you can board a cruise passing through colorful port towns, verdant fjords, and rugged, glacier-topped mountains. As you hike this diverse terrain, including the illustrious Fitz Roy Range, you'll realize the true essence of natural beauty. Argentina provides some of the best trekking in the world!

On to Chile: Chile offers a stunning variety of landscapes. From the haunting, echoing landscapes of the Atacama desert to the temperate rainforests in the South and the majestic peaks of Torres del Paine, there's a tour in Chile for any adventure traveler. Base camp trekking in Torres del Paine provides striking views of the Patagonia landscape, including the intimidating spires of Paine, themselves. Of course, no Chile tour is complete without visiting one of the country's many enormous glaciers--one of which you can witness while hiking through a Chilean forest. There are several different ways to explore Chile, if you prefer you can explore on foot, or relax on a well-appointed cruise ship. The options are numerous.

Check out Ecuador: Ecuador includes historic haciendas, abundant wildlife and hospitable locals. If you're an active adventure seeker, you can take an Ecuador tour that includes biking in a volcano's shadow, hiking in the Bellavista Cloud forest, whitewater rafting through the western Andes, and hiking among the volcanoes of Cotopaxi National Park. Or maybe your preferred Ecuador adventure is sea kayaking into the untamed depths of the Amazon jungle. The colonial towns of Quito and Cuenca make for tamer Ecuador tours, where you can amble down cobblestone streets and shop at the local markets.Where else can you bird watch in the Amazon while simultaneously relaxing in the bar and lounge?

Of course, no trip to Ecuador is complete without visiting the famed Galapagos Islands.
