Visiting South America is a dream come true for the average travel enthusiast. With a plethora of breathtaking sites, it is no secret why this is so. Here are a few places you might want to explore 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 Amazon makes for a key attraction in South America too. There is hardly an accomplished adventurer who has not explored its course. It traverses a total distance of five and a half million square kilometers spread over 9 countries. 30 percent of the global plant and wildlife species are found within this ecosystem.

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.

Further from all this beauty, the Brazil and Argentina border hosts the magnificent Iguazu Falls. Many visitors to this site always get taken aback by the glorious never ending waterfall rows. You get an adrenaline rush from just hearing the massive roar of the cascading waterfalls. In total, the cascades go on for an estimated three kilometers in the rainforest. The good thing is that one can watch the beautiful site safely by standing on the extensive boardwalk network setup close to the waterfalls.

Bolivia is a great tourist country too. The prime gem of the country is the Uyuni Salt Flats. It sits on a large swath of land in southwest Bolivia that was once occupied by a prehistoric lake. Whenever it rains, the never ending white landscape gets converted into a big mirror. The site often resembles a scene from a science fiction film.

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.

Complete your tour with a visit to Rio de Janeiro. There is a legendary aspect to the Copacabana beach. It is always teeming with sunbathers from across the world. Christ the Redeemer statue overlooks the city from the Corcovado Mountain, giving the feeling of divine protection.
