WELCOME TO LATIN AMERICA Brazil Brazil challenges any visitor not to fall in love with its unparalleled attractions. Experience the euphoria of Rio de Janeiro, the faded colonial grandeur of Salvador, the beaches of Angra dos Reis and, of course, all the wonders of the vast Amazon Basin. Peru With Machu Picchu as an incredible legacy of the Incas and Lima a stately reminder of the Spanish colonisers, Peru has some excellent architecture. But it has plenty of natural wonders too ­ there are 30 different areas of protected land, each abundant with wildlife. Bolivia It may be one of the poorest countries in South America, but it is one of the richest when it comes to things to see and do. Choose to wander the vibrant, colourful streets of La Paz ­ the world's highest capital city ­ or discover the spiritual and natural wonders of magnificent Lake Titicaca. Ecuador Situated on the centre of the Earth, Ecuador offers a fascinating variety of traditions and landscapes. The beauty of the immaculately-preserved colonial city of Quito and the natural blessings of the Galapagos archipelago are astounding. Chile With the Andes along the eastern border, the Pacific along the western and every other imaginable terrain inbetween, this long sliver of country is probably the most geographically diverse in South America. Explore the arid Atacama Desert and the beauty of award-winning vineyards. Mexico Nowhere matches the vibrancy of Mexico City, the world's third largest metropolis. And away from the capital, you're faced with an array of options that are just as memorable. Explore a little and you'll find tropical beaches, dense jungle, ancient cities and traditional villages. Argentina Buenos Aires, with its grand avenues, atmospheric cafés and proud locals, is a cosmopolitan capital that knows how to do style. And the country also has some fantastic natural attractions; the towering Iguazú Falls and the jaw-dropping glaciers of Patagonia are just two of them. 6 Antarctica A wonderland where the ice stretches like a pure white blanket as far as the eye can see, Antarctica is the world's final frontier. See unique wildlife and gaze in wonder at the immense cathedral-like shapes that the icebergs form. The beauty of Antarctica is awe-inspiring. Costa Rica Thanks to Costa Rica's commitment to preserving its unique biodiversity, visitors can enjoy some of the best wildlife viewing in the world. From the speed of the hummingbird to the indolence of the sloth, there are marvels aplenty ­ as well as fabulous Pacific and Caribbean beaches. Visit www.travelbag.co.uk
